Born in Athens, Georgia, in 1924, Julian graduated from Athens High, and at age 17 joined Civil Air Patrol, enlisted in the Navy, and earned his wings as a Naval Aviator.

Julian was an advocate and volunteer for many charitable organizations in the community, such as teaching 55 Alive for many years, being chosen to drive dignitaries around Atlanta during the 1986 Olympics, Atlanta Mission, and The Suthers Center. Julian’s family was his greatest joy, and he and Zadie enjoyed traveling with their children and friends.

Mr. Scott was an I inspiration to a young man. Him and Mrs. Scott were always active in ETC and Acolytes. Even when I visited St. Martin’s as a young now older man he time who I was.
My prayers are the family. Wish I could be there for the funeral
