Jeffrey P. Gignac

Gignac, Jeffrey P – of Malden, passed away March 11, 2025, following a brief illness. Jeffrey was born September 20, 1955, the youngest of five children, to Bernice (nee: McFarland) and Henry Gignac. Raised in Malden, he went on to spend many years devoted to his trade, as a proud member of the Ironworkers Local 7. Known by his union brothers as "Flopper", he took great pride in being able to drive through Boston and point out all of the buildings he worked on, quite literally shaping the Boston skyline. In addition to ironworking, he was a skilled craftsman, who enjoyed carpentry of all kinds, and was always readily available to fix anything that was asked of him. In his later days, he could often be found in the yard tending to his garden, or in the kitchen cooking something delicious.
Jeffrey is preceded in death by both parents, Bernice and Henry, his older brother Gerald "Flipper" Gignac, as well as his sister-in-law Ann Gignac, and brothers-in-law Anthony Zaffiro, Earl Meehan, and Jack Langlois. He is survived by his three sisters, Karen Zaffiro of Lynn, MA, Barbara Meehan of Naples, FL, and Debra Langlois of Malden, MA. Jeff was also the cherished uncle to many nieces and nephews, lovingly referred to as "Uncle Buck", and was adored by his three youngest great nieces and nephews, Kennedy and Cash Carlton, and Jack Langlois.
At Jeffrey's request, no formal services will be held. However, a celebration of life will be held on Saturday, April 26th from 1-4pm at the 5-2 Club, 53 Annese Rd, Chelsea.
