Siempre Corriendo

Last night a senseless and tragic auto accident took away the life of Julius Stuart-Velez; he was only 21. An incredible person was lost. He had his entire life ahead of him. Julius lit up a room with his smile and charisma. He was friendly with and to everyone. He lived by the motto “siempre corriendo”—always running. That he was. Julius was a track star. He was invited to compete in a competition in Australia to represent Woodrow Wilson HS in Beckley, WV. After he graduated he started to work to help out his mother, Kelly, and his little brother. He was passionate about helping others as well. He enrolled in a personal trainer program to gain the knowledge to help others. He wanted to give access to premium fitness to every body type. He selflessly paused his dreams to seek more work out to help his family. All while helping his mom raise his little brother, Jaion. He was like a father to him. He was so jovial and always wanted to make everyone smile and crack jokes. He was a dedicated worker. He was a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day.  Anything can help the family in their time of need.
