WOONSOCKET - Jai-Juan M. Giguere, 22, of Woonsocket, died July 1, 2022. Born in Woonsocket, he was the son of Celine (Giguere) Osondu, and her husband, Ridwan, of Woonsocket, and Daniel Jordan and his girlfriend, Elizabeth "Bucky" Priest of Providence.

Jai-Juan attended Good Shepherd School, was a graduate of Woonsocket High School, and attended classes at CCRI. He was a free-spirited, independent, and ambitious man, who loved to travel, and who made friends everywhere he went. Jai-Juan's passions included skateboarding and photography, and he would often merge the two, taking photos and videos of his friends while they were skateboarding. He even took some of his classmates' senior photos. Another pastime Jai enjoyed was upcycling vintage clothing and giving it a modern twist. He would scour the racks at Savers, take a piece of clothing, and turn it into something unique. He also designed t-shirts, hair wraps, and hats that he would later sell online. Jai-Juan was a loveable person who genuinely cared about those around him.
