Julian Jerry Mixon Hayes

We will certainly miss one of the finest southern gentlemen we've ever known.

I will remember Uncle Julian, my grandmother's brother, as one of the best among us. He epitomized kindness, southern hospitality, chivalry, and generosity. He brought every generation together with love and laughter. He did that with a grace that made it look effortless.

I enjoyed many hours with Jerry at the bridge table. He and Kip stayed with us in Columbia during the Hugo devastation to Waywood Acres. They brought it back to it's beautifully lanscaped Eden. He will certainly be missed.

Julian Hayes was the son of Allison and Lena Hayes, and he was the nephew of John Riley Hayes, my grandfather - ALL were among the finest people I have ever known. He was a devoted friend to everyone he touched, a master of life. Heaven is where he belongs. Heaven is where he is.

Julian was my uncle and made all of our lives so special. There was never a graduation, wedding or special event he did not put his personal touch to make the occassion better. He took me to my first play when I was 16 and I have loved the theater ever since. He took me to my first night club. I heard jazz for the first time.
He was the family hstorian and so loved by all of us. He taught us the meaning of sophistication and integrity. I can't imagine our family without him at the helm....

I feel so fortunate to have known Julian. He was always kind, with a sparkle in his eye and willing to share of his wealth of knowledge. He will be missed, yet remembered with fondness.

I will miss Julian's twinkling eyes and smile. I had the pleasure to have traveled with him on several of my parent's rose garden tours to Europe. It was a pleasure to have known him and to have been in his garden.

Julian was truly the best neighbor and friend anyone could ever have. I will never forget the beautiful flowers he would leave on my porch and the lovely notes I have received from him over the past seven years. It was a great honor to have called him my friend. He was the kindest man I ever met and we will miss him forever.

I am blessed to have known Julian and will always cherish his memory.
