Nicolas "Julian" DiCelli, age 19, of Huntsville, Alabama, passed away on July 19th, 2026, leaving behind a life defined by real laughter, deep friendships, and moments we’ll never forget.

Julian was, without a doubt, the funniest person in the room—a carefree, vibrant soul who lived entirely in the right now. He was the rare person you never had to hide from. Julian loved without conditions; you didn’t have to be whole or have it all together to be loved by him. Whether talking for hours about a new pair of shoes or late-night conversations about the universe, Julian gave you his full heart. To be near him was to feel seen, and everyone who met him knew they had encountered someone entirely irreplaceable.

Julian lived without holding anything back, and though his time with us was far too short, the impact he made on the people he loved will last forever. Anyone who met Julian remembered him, and no one who loved him will ever be the same without him. He was and is a constant reminder to laugh more, love harder, and live fully in the moment.

He is survived by his devoted parents, Nancy Phillips and Dewey Petty; by his loving sister, Nicholette DiCelli; his brother Mikey Nicolas; his Step-Mother Deanna Nicolas as well as all of his cousins, aunts, and uncles; and a wide circle of cherished family and lifelong friends who will forever carry his memory.

A service to celebrate Julian’s life will be held on July 24th, 2026 with visitation from 3:00pm - 4:00pm, proceeding with the funeral service at 4:00pm at Berryhill Funeral Home.
