Fred was the consummate sports enthusiast and was a virtual walking encyclopedia when it came to sports facts and information. He graduated from Cranberry High School in 1967 after a stellar high school career, both academically and athletically. He attended Sandhills Community College on a basketball scholarship before transferring to East Tennessee State University where he earned a degree in Business.

Left to carry on his memory are his loving companion of more than 30 years, Kaye Hughes; his daughter, Jessica Julian; his stepchildren, Hannah Green and Sanford Green; his grandchildren, Ayla and Finch; his sister, Glenda (Ray) Rensi; his twin sister, Frieda (Craig) Briggs; his brother, Adrian Julian II; his sister-in-law, Shad Peters; brother-in-law, Jimmy Hughes; and a plethora of nieces, nephews and friends.

Fred was always there to listen and support the downtrodden. He never met a cat or dog he didn't love.
Our Fred was enigmatic. He will forever be remembered for his love and dedication to family and friends.
