Julian DuJuan Crawford, known as " JUICE " to both family and friends alike, passed away into eternity on Saturday, May 8, 2021, 9:15 AM, from Baptist Health Hospital of Paducah, Kentucky.  Julian was born in Paducah, Kentucky on December 31, 1975, and at his death was 45 years, 4 months and 7 days old.  He was the proud son of the late Autry "Tiny" Coleman and Dottie S. Crawford Bacon.

Julian, "Juice", was of the Baptist faith.  He accepted Christ as his personal Savior at Reidland, Kentucky's Highview Baptist Church and had also attended Mt. Moriah Missionary Baptist Church. "Juice" attended Paducah Tilghman High School and was formerly employed as a chef at the Captain's Place.

Juice was a man who loved everybody, especially his wife and best friend, Nastashia; his lovely daughter, Jessica, who was known as his best creation; his mother, Dottie; his brother and sister and his many special friends. Juice was an avid X-Box player and would play it quite often with his daughter whom he tried to win over whenever the challenge arose.  He was very loving, caring, and giving at all times and was known as " The Gentle Giant " who carried a wide and reassuring smile wherever he went.  One could also see him cheering on his favorite basketball team, the Chicago Bulls, each time they had a game televised.

He leaves the following to remember him as their hero: His Wife , Nastashia Arnold Crawford of Paducah, KY; His Daughter , Jessica Crawford of Paducah, KY; His Step-Daughter , Autumn Arnold of Kevil, KY; One Sister , Francyenne (Steve) Maynard of Arlington, TX; One Brother , Lamont (Nikki) Davis of Frisco, TX; One Aunt , Mary Nolan of McKenzie, TN; One Uncle , James (Sharon) Crawford of Salem, KY; Several Nieces and Nephews including Kourtnei Ashley of Waco, TX, Jordan Davis of Anna, TX, Adrian Maynard and Anthony Maynard, Both of Arlington, TX, Noah Davis of Anna, TX, and Mya Davis of Frisco, TX; Four Special Cousins , Heather Lutter of McKenzie, TN; Matthew Crawford, Felicia Crawford and Nathaniel Crawford, All of Paducah, KY; One Super Friend Who Was Like A Brother , Jerry Shaffer of Paducah, KY; A Host of Other Relatives, Friends, and Loved Ones .
