The Coastal Bend community will gather to honor 10-year-old Julian Galloway, who died Wednesday after a courageous years-long battle with brain cancer.
Julian's family announced he took his last breath Wednesday afternoon, surrounded by his parents and loved ones. The family said Julian had his favorite stuffed animals by his side, while his mother and father held his hands.
Julian was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2019, just two days before Christmas. Despite his health challenges, he quickly became a source of inspiration within the community. By 2020, at just 5 years old, he was raising awareness for childhood brain cancer, often appearing at events with a smile that resonated with supporters.
Over the years, the community rallied around Julian and his family, organizing multiple fundraisers and events to help support his medical care. Among them was Burn Pits 360's Ruck March, which helped offset some of his medical costs.
The family expressed gratitude to the community for its continued support throughout Julian's journey.
