He was a quiet and caring man, who seemed to silently carry the weight of the world on his shoulders.Family members describe Julio as a motivator, an excellent chef, and the king of fishing, or at least he thought he was.

On January 17, 2024, Julio Cesar Campos, III, departed his life, at the age of 28. After facing a violent injury, he demonstrated the courage, tenacity, and strength to survive his last few days on earth. He waited to hear the voice, support, and prayers of his loved ones, especially those of his loving parents, Chantel, and Julio Jr. He spoke to them with a joyful teardrop, giving a symbol of unending love. He triumphed through more pain awaiting to hear from his precious children, Journey, Jinger and his son Lil Julio IV, whom he loved dearly until his last breath. He wanted reassurance that his children would be taken care of.
