A true Angel of Aruba
Julien Collot moves to his playground in the sky
Julien Collot, “the most amazing boy in the world,”
a lifelong resident of Chatham NJ, passed away on
Friday, January 21, 2011, surrounded by his family at
Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in Manhattan,
NY. He was 8 years old. Julien was the beloved son
of Jacqueline and Thierry Collot, and the precious
grandson of Patricia and James Cannon and Serafine
and Bernard Collot.
If measured in years, his life was too short, yet he has
touched, inspired and influenced more people than
most could hope for during a full life span.
Julien was courageous, strong, loving, and possessed
wisdom far beyond his years.
The family requests that in lieu of flowers donations
be made to the Julien Collot Foundation, www.
thejuliencollotfoundation.org, which was founded in
2007 in honor of “Ju Ju” and is dedicated to funding
research and trials for pediatric cancers and to assist
affected families in need.
Julien loved vacationing in Aruba with the Cannon
& Collot families, which are many time repeat guests
of the island and own timeshare vacation weeks at La
Cabana Beach & Racquet Club and at Paradise Beach
Villas.
The funeral service was held at St. Teresa of Avila
Roman Catholic Church on January 26th, 2011.
He was laid to rest in Dover, NJ. For Memorials
