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. Additionally, the tragedy unfolded during the New Jersey Thanksgiving holiday, making the fire even more devastating for the community.
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. The impact of the fire resonates deeply with those who knew the family.
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 New Jersey Thanksgiving fire, officials declared the home uninhabitable after the second‑floor blaze.
