John Joseph Nyhan Deignan

John Joseph Nyhan Deignan of Boston, formerly of Belmont, June 16, 2023 after a hard-fought battle with metastatic melanoma.  Beloved son of Mary "Mimi" (Nyhan) Deignan and the late Robert E. Deignan.  Brother of Robert E. Deignan, Jr. and his wife Christina M. Deignan and Patrick F. Deignan and his wife Colleen E. Deignan.  Cherished uncle of Caroline, Michaela, Alexa, Casey, Ryan and Bridget. Belmont High School Class of 1985 and Assumption University Class of 1989.  By day, John was one of Boston's most respected professional recruiters, but his true passion was photography.  He touched so many people with his collection of amazing seascapes, visions of Cape Cod life and powerful urban street scenes, coupled with his timely immersion into Boston's construction world, capturing the skills and bravery of the Iron Workers Local 7 Union.  A funeral mass will be celebrated at St. Cecilia Church, 18 Belvidere Street, Boston on Thursday June 29 at 11:00 AM. Relatives and friends invited. (Additional parking at 50 Dalton Street garage).
