Obituary for Michael Edward Julius

Michael Edward  Julius
Michael Edward Julius
Mike Julius, age 65, of Minneapolis passed away on April 23rd; survived by admiring wife Mary of 43 years, daughter Kaitlyn, sons Steven (Jessica), and Joseph (Krystal) and grandsons Joseph James and Vincent Michael; his eight siblings, Kathy Julius, Linda (Brian) Marinello, Jay (Katie) Julius, Betsy Julius, Pete (Peggy) Julius, Barb Julius, Debbie (Doug) Diamond and adored nieces and nephews. Son of Jerome and Thelma, he grew up in Minneapolis on King’s Highway, attended Visitation School, and graduated from DeLaSalle High School. A graduate of the University of St. Thomas, he was a football standout. In 1973 he was the Minnesota Golden Gloves heavyweight champion. In 1975, he was drafted by the Chicago Bears. Married in 1976, he raised three children in Edina. As an active Cornelia parent, he organized events, coached youth sports, and planted hundreds of trees. Mike’s passion for real estate led to a 40-year career in the industry; most recently with Hines for 22 years. He served as the St. Paul BOMA president from 1994-95. Mike succeeded due to his work ethic and love of people. Next, to his family, he loved building, landscaping, nature, exploring, and learning. He will be remembered for his rain walks, nature hikes, gregarious personality, mentoring, and dance. His fun-loving attitude and appreciation for the simple things in life were contagious. He truly left the world a better place and we will miss Big Mike so much. Happy Hour Friday 4-8 pm at VFW 311 W 84th St. Bloomington. Funeral service Saturday, April 28th 11 am with visitation at 9:30 at Holy Name Church 3637 11th Ave S. Minneapolis and celebration to follow at Pinstripes 3849 Gallagher Dr. Edina.
