Gabriel Serville, the political leader who shaped French Guiana’s landscape for years, died on September 30, 2026, at the age of 67. His death came after a long battle with cancer, confirmed by close associates. Born in Cayenne on September 27, 1959, Serville’s career spanned education and politics.
Before entering public office, he worked as a mathematics teacher and later as principal of a vocational high school. His transition into politics began with a focus on local issues, but it was his leadership in the Assembly of French Guiana that made him a prominent figure.
