Roger Gibbons

Roger Converse Gibbons, 61, died at his home in Mattapoisett on January 8, 2026.

He was the son of the late John D. Gibbons and Vera Converse Gibbons.

Roger graduated from Avon Old Farms, Rollins College, and the London School of Economics.

He was a licensed real estate broker and real estate developer.

Roger was an unassuming athlete who excelled in most sports, especially tennis.

He coveted time with his family and was always interested - and up to date - on what everyone was up to. A gentle soul with a big heart, Roger never forgot birthdays, graduations or other important occasions. He kept everyone laughing with his sharp sense of humor, spot-on impersonations, and one-liners.

Roger is survived by his brother, John D. Gibbons, Jr. of Westfield NJ (Colleen); and his three sisters, Tina Roberts of Palm Beach, Florida (Joel); Joanella Cannell of Mattapoisett (Jim); and Vera B. Gibbons of Palm Beach, Florida.

Other family members include 8 nieces and nephews, and five great nieces and nephews.

Burial services were private. A Celebration of Life will be held later this year when the weather is warm.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Mattapoisett Police Department, P.O. Box 436, Mattapoisett, MA 02739.
