Father Succumbs to Injuries After Deadly New Jersey Thanksgiving Fire
Frantz Fleury, the father rescued from the blaze, died Sunday at the hospital, according to a GoFundMe post for the family.
His daughters, Frantzia Fleury, 49, and Pojanee “PJ” Fleury, 42, initially escaped but ran back inside to save him. Because of their courage, all three family members lost their lives in the fire.
Sisters Remembered for Courage and Devotion
Loved ones described Frantzia as a proud Marine and a dedicated x‑ray technician who showed compassion and strength in everything she did.
PJ, remembered as the creative force behind Brown Eyes magazine, inspired many people with her artistic vision and talent.
Above all, relatives emphasized the sisters’ deep devotion to family. Each leaves behind one child now facing life without their mother.
Funeral Service Planned for Saturday
A funeral service for Frantzia, PJ, and now Frantz will take place Saturday, bringing together family, friends, and community members, the GoFundMe said. In the aftermath of the tragedy, officials declared the home uninhabitable after the second‑floor blaze.

Authorities confirmed that the cause of the fire remains under investigation. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office continues to seek information.
Officials urge anyone with knowledge of the incident to contact the prosecutor’s tip line at 1‑877‑TIPS‑4EC or 1‑877‑847‑7432.
