Junie attended Prince George’s County public schools until matriculating to Archbishop McNamar High School, graduating in 1988. After graduation, Junie followed in his father’s footsteps, where he began working at Dominion Electric. As a team member, his talent was recognized, and recommendations were made on his behalf to attend electrical school. On June 7, 2003, Junius completed his electrical apprenticeship and training through Local Union 26, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Truland Electric Systems was the first company that employed Junie after graduation, and it turned out to be a long and successful tenure.

He really could have been named “Walker Texas Ranger”. His sons, Anthony, Arren, and Akiel enjoyed him in some great moments, including skating, football, basketball, bowling, and an all-you-can-eat buffet to the end of the day.

The angels were watching, and God was listening as Junie sat, smiled, and laughed with Niomi. Peace, love, and tranquility were what this newfound moment represented to him.
