Jeffrey Gordon, age 47, passed away unexpectedly on October 27, 2024.

A lifelong resident of Melrose, Massachusetts, Jeff's warmth and spirit touched all who knew him. He leaves behind

his loving parents, Dorothy and Paul Gordon of Melrose; his brothers, Paul Gordon of Acton,

Massachusetts, Christopher Gordon, along with his wife Laura and daughter Lila, of Wayland,

Massachusetts, his sister Michelle Sorrentino, her husband Tony, and their children Ava and

Anthony, of Boxford, and many other family members and close friends.

A proud graduate of Melrose High School, Class of 1996, Jeff remained a steadfast part of his

hometown, where he found joy in friendships and community. Known for his talent with music,

Jeff was a drummer at heart, bringing rhythm and passion to every beat, whether playing with

his high school band or jamming and making music with friends in later years.

For his career, Jeff worked in HVAC at the Massachusetts College of Art, where he was valued

for his dedication and expertise. Outside of work, his true love was music, which was woven

through his life as a constant source of joy and connection. Jeff's laughter, generosity, and

humor will be deeply missed by his family, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know him.

In lieu of flowers, please show an act of kindness to someone in your life or choose a charity of

your choice. The family would be honored if you would share a special memory of Jeff or a

message on his Tribute wall.
