James C. Barkas, 34
James C. (“Jamie”) Barkas, of Hingham, died suddenly on Feb. 16.  
Jamie adored his family and was the kindest and most thoughtful soul you would ever meet. He played lacrosse in high school and was the fastest kid around. He was very creative and artistic, working as a barber for All Star Barber Shop in Dedham. A “Jack of all trades,” he also worked as a mason part-time for Mario Misdea and enjoyed helping out when he could. 
Most of all, Jamie loved being a dad. He cherished the time he had with his daughter and deeply loved those around him. He was charming, witty, and eccentric and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
The cherished son of Judith Gratta, of Hingham, and James (“Jimbo”) Barkas and his wife Elizabeth, of Hull, Jamie is survived by Megan Russo and their beloved daughter, Mila Jae Barkas, of Hingham. He was the loving brother of Mackenzie Rose Zofchak and her husband, Andrew, of Randolph, and Mattison Alexander Barkas, of Hingham. He was the devoted grandson of Voula (Phyllis) Barkas, of Hull, and the late Paraskevas (Bill) Barkas and the late Joseph and Rose Gratta. He was the loving great-nephew of Angela Grace Nardo and the uncle of Mason River Barkas and Dimitrios Alexander Barkas. He also leaves many aunts, uncles, cousins, his beloved dog, Penny Powers, and his dear friends, Ryan Cinquegrano and Mikey Lucreziano.
