Obituary

Denzil A.”Herby” Hunte age 77 of Brockton MA died April 6, 2020 at his home under the care of his wife, Ricardo Francois, Right-At-Home caregivers and Beacon hospice team. Herby died after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer’s, which he bore with acceptance, grace and dignity.

Herby was truly a “man of God”, he had the values of integrity, respect and care for the elderly and a committed love for his family and friends. He enjoyed dominoes, music, dancing, cricket, horse racing and just the old quality of spending time with love ones.

He was the devoted husband of Yvette J. (Daniel) Hunte.
