Frantz Delva

Frantz Delva, 61, of Brockton, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on January 19, 2023. Born in Artibonite, Haiti, he was a son of the late Lereste and Heureuse (Malvoisin) Delva. Frantz earned degrees in Criminal Justice and Theology and was a former priest in Haiti. He later worked as a mental health counselor for many years.

He was gifted in singing and writing and loved classical French music. Frantz was also an avid basketball fan, cheering on his local sports team the Boston Celtics.
