Special Info
Julien Fredrick Rouse was born to Felicity and Evans Rouse on June 17, 1935, in the village of Westerhall, St. David’s, Grenada.
He was the 5th of 7 children, most of whom have pre-deceased him.
Julien was always a quiet individual who was fiercely devoted to his walk with the Lord. He attended the St. Paul’s Government School and the Woburn Methodist School. He and his siblings often had to tend to animals, carry water, and do a multitude of chores, before walking to school and getting there on time.
Most of his siblings and mother, migrated to the United Kingdom and Julien took the opportunity to seek a better future. Prior to his departure for the UK, he worked as a Tailor in Grenada.

He continued supporting his family with long hours of work as a licensed plumber at Rockefeller University. He also attended Good Tidings Gospel Chapel as his home church for many years. When his wife, Geraldine passed away, he continued to work hard to raise his children as a single father. He later married Muriel Smith on October 16, 1982, also a Grenadian native.

He also attended various assemblies in East Orange New Jersey, Grace Gospel Chapel, Fennimore Street, Hopkinson, Teller Avenue, and many more.
