Rikki James Cirignano

November 30, 1976 – September 11, 2026

Rikki James Cirignano,49, passed away unexpectedly on September 11, 2026, in Belgrade, Montana.

Born on November 30, 1976, in Weymouth, Massachusetts, Rikki grew up in Rockland. He was the son of Richard Cirignano, the late Donna Grainger, and his stepmother Judith Eramo.

A Master Plasterer by trade, Rikki was driven by a genuine passion for his work. He never stopped learning and always sought out the most specialized techniques in his field. People knew him as a hard worker and a trusted pillar on any jobsite, bringing true craftsmanship and heart to every project he touched.

Rikki lived life as an adventure. He loved being outside and staying active, whether he was snowboarding, hiking, or skateboarding. He chased every thrill and lived by the saying "the mountain is only as steep as you make it." Above all, Rikki was the kind of person who would do anything for anyone. He had a rare kind of generosity, he saw the good in every person he met and never hesitated to share what he had with anyone who needed it.

Music was a huge part of his life. He loved live shows, especially Boston punk and hardcore, and always supported local musicians and tattoo artists. His interests spanned everywhere: he was a skilled BBQ pitmaster, food critic, an enthusiastic shopper, and a strong competitor when it came to darts, horseshoes, and cornhole. He was also deeply involved in the wrestling community and rarely missed anything his children participated in. More than anything, Rikki was a lover of animals, a naturally funny guy, and an old-school gentleman who was happiest when traveling or spending time with family and friends.

He is survived by his beloved children, Domenic and Ceceilia Cirignano, and their mother, Colleen McSolla; his siblings, Eric Cirignano, Brian Cirignano, Rico Cirignano, Nicole Shirley, and Jarrod Shirley; and his grandmother, Nikki Grainger. He also leaves behind a large extended family and endless friends who knew and loved him as "Bud Bud."
