Julien met his wife Ursy (née Bartelink) in Suriname and together they had two children Yvonne and Henna; and, he was also stepfather to Matt. Julien left Suriname with his family to start a new life in the Netherlands in 1963, and they married in Amsterdam on December 24, 1964. For the first few years he worked at a sawmill until he found a new job at KLM Airlines as a fuel tank mechanic for the airplanes; an admirable career which lasted from 1968 to 1987. After his retirement, Julien started a new adventure and moved to Canada to be with his children and grandchildren. He became a citizen in November of 2013. Aside from dedicating his time to his family, Julien loved woodworking, riding his bicycle, and even racing his bicycle sometimes.

Julien is survived by an extensive family who adored him for his humour and kindness. He leaves behind his daughter Henna and husband Gerald Henderson, with whom he shared his life; half-sister Gerlien; half-brother Ernie; nephews Martijn, Anthony, and Jurgen (Agata), stepson Matt (Peggy); son-in-law Anthony Devonish; grandchildren Esmay (Sam), Edlia (Ryan), Julien (Andreea); step-grandchildren Wayne and Luciene; great-grandchildren Bennett, Orlando, Gabriel, Jordan, Jevonte, Leeyah, and Aria; and step-grandchildren Jahwen, Julani, and Shaquile.

He is preceded in death by his loving daughter Yvonne, his sister Willie, as well as two half-brothers, Jessie and Clark.
