Julian Yanez III

Julian Yanez III, 61, passed away unexpectedly on March 10, 2026.

A kind, respectable, and hardworking man, Julian would do anything for anyone, helping even strangers without expecting anything in return. He consistently placed the needs of others above his own, wanting the best for everyone while settling for the minimum for himself. His infectious laugh could light up any room, and his deep faith and love for Jesus guided his life. Above all, he was a devoted father whose children were his world.

Being a grandfather brought him his greatest joy. He cherished every moment with his grandbabies, whether playing dinosaurs or wrestling with WWE figures, making the most of each second they shared. He found simple pleasures in fishing, watching old westerns, and cheering for the Carolina Panthers and the Tar Heels, win or lose.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Julian Yanez Sr. and Maria Lara, and his brothers, Hector Yanez and Martin Yanez.

Julian is survived by his son, Julian Yanez IV and fiancé Rebecca Henning; daughters, Selena Yanez and fiancé Felipe Ramirez, and Jennifer Bracken and husband Marcus; grandsons, Hudson Ramirez and Reign Ramirez; brother, Pablo Yanez; sisters, Rosalinda Yanez and Esperanza Yanez; mother-in-law, Joyce Stocks; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
