Candido J. Delgado “Candy”
May 13, 1949 - November 10, 2026 | Age 77
Candido J. Delgado, affectionately known as “Candy,” of Cambridge, passed away on November 10, 2026, at the age of 77.
A devoted husband, loving father, proud grandfather, and gifted musician, Candy lived a life filled with love, laughter, and music. A professional guitar player, he spent his life pursuing the passion he loved most. Music was more than a career; it was part of his soul. Through his talent and dedication, he shared his gift with others and created memories that will live on long after the final song.
Candy will be remembered not only for his musical talent but for the person he was. Kind, humble, and genuine, he had a natural ability to get along with everyone. His easygoing personality, warm heart, and welcoming spirit made him a friend to many, and someone people were always happy to be around. He never needed to be the center of attention to leave a lasting impression.
Above all, Candy’s life was shaped by family and the relationships that remained an important part of his story. He was the beloved husband of Ethel M. (Silva) Delgado and a father to Keith Delgado, Amy Delgado, Candido Brown, Antoin Brown, Marlena Brown, Kerriann Brown, and Candido Delgado. He was predeceased by his son, Keon Brown.
He was the brother of the late Marion Disharoom, Roger Douglas, and Deborah Beausoleil. He also leaves behind eight grandchildren, along with many loving relatives and dear friends who will forever hold his memory close.
Candy’s life was measured not by accomplishments or possessions, but by the people he loved, the friendships he built, and the joy he brought to others. Though his guitar may be silent, the music he played, the kindness he shared, and the love he gave will continue to resonate in the hearts of all who knew him.
His song may have ended, but his melody will live on forever.
