- three boys and a girl, said his mom, who added the siblings are all adults now.

He attended Hyde Park Academy, at 6220 S Stony Island Ave., until being forced to leave because he was bullied, his mom said.

Julian was 14 years older than one of his brothers and he took pride in being a big brother.  He was kinda bossy,  his mother joked.

Nowadays, he only wanted more time with his family and his brother, who he even started working out with at L. A. Fitness after shifts at the CTA, where he'd worked since 2018.

 He was hard working and he was a kind man,  his mom said.  A friendly man. 

Julian changed his diet and started taking vitamins, his mom recalled.  He came to understand he had to eat a certain way to gain weight,  his mom said.

But mostly right now, his family was looking forward to another trip to Disney in Florida and Julian was saving money for it. Earlier, he had taken his 14 yo daughter but this time wanted to go as a family - including their new baby, an 1-year-old boy.  They were saving money for the future,'' she said.

Stricken with grief, Joyce Mobley is also disturbed by the feelings of worry.

 It just makes me worry about everyone's life because it could have happened to any one of us. 

In a statement, the transit agency offered their condolences.  We will support law enforcement officials' efforts to ensure that the offender is apprehended and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. 

Mobley was mild-mannered and kind, and his eyes lit up when he talked about his children, according to rail janitor and Local 308 union board member Audrey Veasley.

 His character is, he was a gentleman,  Veasley said during a news conference hours after the incident.  He was a real man. 

No charges have been announced.
