Who we are
As of 6/30/2025, backdated to when we submitted, Honoring Julian is officially a charity! More to follow soon…
This site is built by Julian’s dad, Jason Brockert. Its content is determined by friends and family, and will continue to evolve by sake of community outreach and feedback.
Is this whole thing a bit naïve? I’m sure it is but I feel more strongly every day the only way we get back on a better course is to normalize unabashed honesty without sacrificing humility.
