No words can describe the shock and pain. He was a good man, husband and father. Loving, giving and very family oriented. A pious man whose kindness touched everyone who knows him. I will never forget all you did for us. Gone too soon but not forgotten. To all the family and Lydia, my deepest condolences. Rip in peace. May the Almighty welcomes you in Heaven.

I am so saddened to hear of Julian's passing. He was my Supervisor for many years. He was always soft spoken but a strong leader and mentor. I knew he always had my back . We always had so many talks .. not just about work.. but of our family life . He was so so proud of his kids . He will be missed . ..and always remembered .

I was indeed shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Julian, a loyal friend and dear brother. We both attended the same Seconday School and were classmates. Julian and I remained in contact throughout the years. He was a man given to much hospitality. I recalled the previous time my wife and I had in 2015 when Julian & Lydia invited us to celebrate our wedding anniversary at their residence. My friend was a remarkable Christian, a committed husband, a great father and an exceptional role model and mentor to many. May we be consoled by the message captured Psalm 116:15 “Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.” We pray that God will be a refuge and strength (Ps. 46:1) to the Branche’s family at this time of great loss.

I am tremendously saddened to hear about the sudden death of Julian, especially so soon after the also sudden passing of Linden, a very close buddy of mine and several others of our group from primary and high schools.

I recall meeting Julian during my visits to his home with the rest of our group at the invitation of Linden.

He was always a quiet, respectful and likeable youngster.

Since Linden's sad passing, I have been in regular contact with Julian,reminiscing about the good old days, memories of Linden and sharing articles of mutual interest.

This is truly one of those times when words are not enough to capture the concomitant sadness that is felt with Julian's passing.

To the family, please accept my deepest condolences.May the multiple good memories you have and that will play repeatedly in your minds shepperd you through these difficult times.

God bless

My heartfelt condolences to the Branche family as I learn of the sudden demise of our dear Julian.

A class act, a man of high spirituality and a loving and caring soul.

I attended St. Stephen's primary school in Guyana with Julian.We parted ways when we ventured off to different high schools and never saw each other again. We reconnected after Linden's passing as Linden was my brother's close friend. Julian was very welcoming and happy to receive my phone call. We recaptured memories of the good old days as we racked our brains of the names of our teachers. He kept in touch and he was interested to connect with some of our other classmates and requested their co-ordinates. We shared various communication and we updated each other about our families. I always look forward to our conversations as it appeared that no time was lost between us. The last I spoke with him was on August 10th - his birthday. It was certainly a renewed friendship and quite a delight connecting with him after so many years. I will miss his intermittent calls.

May God Almighty comfort his wife, children, grandchildren and the rest of his family during this difficult time.

May his soul rest in eternal peace. Amen!

My deepest sympathy to the entire Branche family. I had the privilege of working for Julian when he hired me as his nurse at the URG Monroe Office in 2005. He was not only my boss but my mentor. He pushed me to always reach for the stars. He was an exceptional role model to all of us and a second father to many. I will be forever grateful to him. Rest in peace my friend. You will always be in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May God bring you comfort during this difficult time.

To Marc and the Branche family. I express sincere condolences to you on behalf of myself and my parents. We had the privilege of meeting your parents at yours and Tanise's engagement celebration at their home in NJ. We immediately felt like family, and spoke of how warm, welcoming and kind they were to us. Though I never had the opportunity to interact directly with your dad after that, I would be encouraged by his kind words that Tanise would share with me when he heard of the different mission trips. I truly felt his passion for serving and am grateful for a life dedicated not only to serving his family, but his community through his church. The angels rejoice and have welcomed another home. Though little consolation now, be reminded that He is now in the arms of His Lord. Please give your mom a special hug from us, and Tan give Marc a hug from us too. We love you all.

Please accept our deepest condolences for the passing of a great man. Julian was a brother, father, uncle, and a great spiritual leader who led his family well. May these words from Psalm 91 bring you a little bit of comfort during this very difficult time.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High

Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;

My God, in Him I will trust.”

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler

And from the perilous pestilence.

He shall cover you with His feathers,

And under His wings you shall take refuge;

His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,

Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,

Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

Julian will be greatly missed.

My deepest condolences to the Branche family. Julian was an incredible man of God and a gentle soul. I will never forget his love for others and his loyalty to those he loved. I look forward to seeing him again in Heaven but for now, will miss him very much. Lynn Rios-Shaw
