DAMON S. BAKAS
AGE 84 YEARS
Damon S. Bakas of West Roxbury. Born on Mission Hill to the late Steve and Athena Bakas, he passed away on April 23, 2020 due to COVID-19.
Devoted husband to his beloved Irene Bakas for 54 years. Loving father to Tina Russo and her husband Chris of Hull, and Donna and Janet Bakas, both of West Roxbury. Treasured "Papou" to two grandchildren. Cherished uncle to his nieces and nephews of Honorable Judge Theodore Bakas, George Bakas and Keliher families.
Proud of his Greek heritage, he served as a longtime member and past president of Athens Chapter #24 of the AHEPA and passionate volunteer for the Cathedral's annual festival. Damon was a union member of Teamsters Local #25 for over 40 years, retiring to work part-time at BJ's in Dedham for 17 years, making many close friends. Damon will be remembered for his immense love for and pride in his family, fierce loyalty to the Red Sox, incredible humor, cooking talent and KIND heart and soul. He enriched the life of his family, friends and strangers with his boundless love and compassion.
Due to the pandemic, a private family Visitation will be held at the P.E. Murray-F.J. Higgins Funeral Home, followed by a private Graveside Service at St. Joseph Cemetery, West Roxbury. There will be a Memorial Service held at a later date. "Gentleness and kindness will make our homes a paradise on earth." May Damon's glorious memory be eternal.
