Emile Guiliani, Jr.

Emile Guiliani Jr. (1935-2023)

While in a peaceful sleep, Emile Guiliani Jr. was called home to our Lord on the evening of Monday, December 18, 2023 at 04:17pm.

Born June 20, 1935 to parents Emile Guiliani Sr. and Mary [Bridgewater] Sandlin, Emile would go on to serve his country in the United States Navy for 23 years with 10 years in the Navy Reserves. With his first love, Charlene [Roseman] Guiliani, they had six 'honeymoon' children and three of whom he personally delivered on the way to the hospital. He always joked that he carried a labor/delivery kit in his glovebox. With his second love, Brenda [Hueston] Guiliani, he proudly became the step-father of two more. Oh and all the grandchildren and great-grandchildren! Whom are the apple of his eye.

Emile was well known for the love of his family, loyalty among friends, and especially his silly, quirky humor. Known as Popeye or Shorty, he was ever the social butterfly and who had a light that burned so bright in him, he would light a room with his presence. Emile will forever live on in the memories and hearts of his friends and family, and will truly be missed.

He was preceded in death by both his parents Emile Sr. (2000) and Mary (1986), first-wife Charlene Guiliani (2013), children Steve Guiliani (2008) and Cherie Boyd (2014), grandchildren Rebecca Guiliani (2002) and Nathan Musson (2007), and great-grandchild Charlotte Guiliani (2021).

He is survived by his beloved wife Brenda Guiliani, his 'little girl' Queenie (Jack Russell Terrier), siblings Michael 'Mike' Guiliani and Paulina Sinkes (Tim Sinkes), children Rocky Guiliani; Tami Morse; Tony Guiliani; Shalene Guiliani (Larry Boyd); Kevin 'Kel' Jones; Glen Musson (Prettylyn Musson); Julie Joseph (Glenn Joseph), grandchildren Jay Guiliani; Sarah Boyers (Cody Boyers); Aaron Guiliani (Kim Guiliani); Emma Sauzedde (Han Sauzedde); Allison 'Allie' Ciccone; Ryan Guiliani (Amanda Guiliani); Timmy Guiliani; Natasha Guiliani; Erica Woolard (Nick Woolard); Michelle West (David West); Christopher Welt; John Musson; Joseph Musson, and then truly blessed with great-grandchildren Brendan Guiliani, Tristan Guiliani; Peyton Guiliani; Jordan Boyers; Jason Brick Jr; Paisley Brick; Jackson Brick; Lucas Sauzedde; Cayden Ciccone; Trinity Spencer; Aaliyah Guiliani; Ariana Guiliani; Brody Pegram; Jeremiah Knight; Amir Knight; Mariah Guiliani; Major Guiliani; Kaitlyn Woolard; Dakota Woolard.
