Eric Gerard Julien Memorial Fundraiser

On January 13, 2022 the Julien Family and the Santa Cruz community lost a beloved native Son. After many years of struggling, Eric lost his battle and succumbed to the war on drugs. All of us who were lucky enough to know Eric during his short life are devastated.

 

After a huge outpouring of people wanting to somehow honor Eric, family friends have taken on the project of dedicating a Live Oak Tree in one of Eric’s favorite local skate parks overlooking his “hood”. Funds will also be donated to the Homeless Garden Project, Housing Matters and the American Diabetes Association.

 

To all of you who loved Eric, either personally or through the love of his family, we are forever grateful and hope to keep his memory and his story alive for future generations to learn and seek help for struggles with drugs and diabetes.

 

Fly Free Beautiful Boy.

 

More information on the completed memorial, location and pictures will follow in the weeks ahead.
