Julius found joy in the simple pleasures of life. He was an avid fisherman and dove hunter, who cherished his time spent with family and friends.

Family meant everything to Julius, and he took great pride in his role as a husband and father. He is survived by his devoted wife, Lisa Turner; his daughter, Callie Owen (Tyler); his son, Josh Turner; and his adored grandchildren, Gauge, Jaxon Paul, Jax, and Brynlee. He also leaves behind his cherished siblings, Loretta Presnell (Rannel), Allen Turner (Cindy), and Mertice (Henry), along with beloved brothers-in-law, Brett Easterbrook (Betsy) and Scott Easterbrook (Pam). Julius was also a cherished uncle to a multitude of nieces and nephews and a dear friend to many.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Elmer Turner and Mattie Belle Turner, and siblings JE Turner (Carolyn), Terrell Turner, Olivia Boothe (Lec), and Frank Turner (Margie). He also mourned the loss of his brother-in-law, Gregg Easterbrook.
