Julian Camacho Obituary
May 28, 2025
Sacramento, California - Julian Camacho passed away peacefully on May 28, 2025, in Sacramento at the age of 88.
Julian is survived by his beloved wife, Catherine, of 45 years. His loving children, Elizabeth (Felix) of Glendale; Vincent (Rebecca) of Alameda; Juan of Los Angeles; Ramon (Astrid) of Los Angeles; Benjamin (Lizeth) of Sacramento; Rachael (Mike) of Sacramento. His adoring grandchildren, Diego, Sofia, and Lucia of Glendale; Isaac, Paloma, Jackson, and James of Alameda; Isabel, Leonor, and Juliana of Los Angeles.
Born in the 1930s, Julian's knowledge and rounded skill set were reflective of the era from which he was raised. He was creative, undaunted by challenges, and would find solutions to the most difficult problems. Early life for Julian was not easy, but he persevered.
An engineer, Julian was also an accomplished athlete, an avid runner, devoted golfer, gardener, businessman, home renovator, to name a few.
He was passionate about his community, his friends, the environment, nature, history, learning other cultures and customs, politics, and helping those less fortunate.
Most of all, he loved his family and lived life to the fullest. His presence and impact on others was larger than life. He will be deeply missed by all that knew and loved him.
A memorial service is scheduled for 3:00, Saturday, July 12, at Nicoletti, Culjis & Herberger Funeral Home. A celebration will follow in his beloved garden. Friends and family are welcome to attend.

When I worked in the Executive Offices of the Department of General Services I met Julian, because he was one of the Deputy Directors at that time. His humor was always evident, and he was a kind man. After a couple of years, I moved on to higher positions but never forgot Julian. He always was so supportive of all of us and willing to help. I recall when he married and had his younger children. He loved every one of his kids very much, and also his wife very much. A true gem.

The best friend of many friends. Always a good fellow.

Julian was a friend for over 40 years and one of the finest human beings I ever had the pleasure to know. His love, empathy and compassion was evident from the first time I met him, when we both worked for AT&T.
His maturity, intelligence, creativeness, sense of humor, and fun loving - but calm nature - helped many of his coworkers deal with the stresses of working for a company that was constantly changing, very chaotic and laying off tens of thousands of workers a year.
He was wise beyond his years and a mentor to many, including me. His advice and guidance were always very thoughtful and he helped many people thru some of their worst times.
His friends and business associates always marveled at Julian's optimistic and positive attitude, his outside-the-box thinking and his ability to learn from his mistakes. He did not have a selfish bone in his body and was always happy to make an introduction and help others close a deal.
The thing that always impressed me the most about Julian was his love for his family. His wife Catherine and his six children meant the world to him. He always enjoyed sharing their achievements and what was going on in their lives. He was very proud husband and father.
I will never forget Julian or the lessons he taught me about life and compassion for others. I have lost a great friend and our community has suffered a big loss. Rest in Pease my friend!
My, Adam and Jessica's sincerest condolences to Catherine and family.
