Fausto DeFranco, 64, of Belleville, passed away Saturday, September 20, 2025. Born in Acri Cosenza, Italy, Fausto was the son of the late Giuseppe DeFranco. The beloved husband of the late Francesca DeFranco.

He worked for Angal Labs in Fairfield as a welding/soldering fabricator. He will always be remembered for the passions that brought him joy and lit up the lives of those around him. A lifelong and devoted Dallas Cowboy's fan, he cheered on his team through every season with unwavering loyalty. He was also a die-hard Elvis Presley admirer, finding comfort and happiness in the music and spirit of the King.
