As we celebrate the life of Julian Lynn Croley, we remember a cherished individual born on July 25, 1981, in Daingerfield, Texas. Julian passed away on January 27, 2026 leaving behind memories filled with the essence of his laid-back, quiet, and reserved nature. Known for his hard work ethic, Julian was a proud alumnus of Daingerfield High School, Class of 1999, and a dedicated employee at Pilgrim’s.

Julian found joy and tranquility in the great outdoors; he was an avid fisherman and a lover of gardening which allowed him a peaceful retreat. His culinary skills shone through during his grilling and the beloved seafood boils he prepared at family gatherings. These moments brought joy not only to Julian but also to all who were present, creating lasting memories.

He called Daingerfield, Texas, his home throughout his life, a place where his roots ran deep and his heart remained.

Julian’s life was a portrait of simplicity and dedication, marked by the love he had for his environments both natural and familial. As we say goodbye, we celebrate the quiet moments of joy and the peacefulness he cherished.

In memory of Julian, we hold close the values he lived by and the serene moments he created and shared. His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts of those who knew him and in the beauty of the landscapes he so loved.

Julian was preceded in death by his mother, Sherry Kay Croley. He is survived by his father, Dewey Croley of Daingerfield; brothers, James Croley of Daingerfield, Chris Croley and wife Jenna of Lake of the Pines, Charles Croley of Dallas; aunts, Nancy Campbell and husband Harry of Daingerfield, Karen Croley of Pittsburg, Mary Graves and husband Jason of Daingerfield, Cindy Scarbarough of Hughes Springs; uncles, Loyd Croley and wife Freda of Daingerfield, Bubba Croley and wife Robin of Daingerfield; as well and numerous nieces nephews and cousins.
