John Baboukis Obituary
With solemn hearts, we announce the passing of John Baboukis in Jersey City, New Jersey, whose presence will be deeply missed, having departed on November 23, 2024. Family and friends are welcome to leave their condolences on this memorial page and share them with the family.
As we bid John farewell, let us not mourn the absence of his physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of his spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For John is not truly gone, but merely transformed, his energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
Visitation was held on Monday, December 2nd 2024 from 10:15 AM to 11:00 AM at the Holy Trininty Greek Orthodox Church (250 Gallows Hill Rd, Westfield, NJ 07090).
