Carl Melvin "Tommy" Julian, Jr.

Carl Melvin (Tommy) Julian Jr. went home to be with our Lord Jesus Christ June 24, 2025, passing peacefully. Tommy had a distinguished career in Law Enforcement beginning with the Randleman Police Department as well as the Randolph County Sheriff's Office where he retired after 20+ years. Tommy also served as a District 19-B Magistrate during his tenure with Randolph County. He was an active member of the Randolph County Republicans Committee, the Jaycees, and a longtime Freemason. Tommy and his loving wife, Dee Ann were long-standing members of Bethany United Methodist Church. Tommy and Dee Ann met in High School and married soon after graduating. Tommy attended Grays Chapel but played football for Randleman becoming the only one to ever accomplish this, as he would say. Tommy and Dee Ann had three children and remained in the area lovingly supporting all their children and grandchildren. Tommy could be seen at the Randleman softball field down the first base fence or at the football field cheering on their grandkids. Tommy loved to be out in the community and enjoyed the outdoors spending time hunting, fishing, and playing golf with friends, usually with a cigar in tow.

Tommy is preceded in death by his loving wife, Dee Ann Fogleman Julian and son, Carl Melvin Julian III, along with his parents, Kathleen and Carl Melvin Julian, Sr. and sisters, Helen Toomes, Juanita West, Ruth Lane, and Dolly York. Tommy is survived by his two children; daughter, Alisa Julian (Jay); son, Anthony Julian (Nan). He is also survived by 5 grandchildren; Allison Hopkins (Chris), Kathleen Brown, Brooks Julian (Cambridge), Kathryn Singletary (Trevin), Maggie Meisch (Tyler); and six great-grandchildren.

He will be dearly missed but deeply remembered for the legacy he left behind. The family will receive visitors on Sunday, June 29, 2025, from 6:00 – 8:00 PM at Pugh Funeral Home, 600 S. Main Street, Randleman. A service will be held at 10:00 AM on Monday, June 30, 2025, at Pugh Funeral Home followed by a private graveside for immediate family.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in Tommy’s memory to Hospice of Randolph, 416 Vision Dr., Asheboro, NC 27203.
