Dimitrios (Jim) Sikaras, fell asleep in the arms of the Lord on October 18, 2025. Beloved husband of Angeliki Sikaras, nee Marditsis. Loving father of Photini Sikaras and Angelo (Demetra) Sikaras. Cherished grandfather of Konstantinos "Dean" Manesiotis, Dimitri Manesiotis, Angelina Sikaras, and Dimitri Sikaras. Cherished son of the late Evangelos and Photini Sikaras. Dear brother of Georgios Sikaras. Fond uncle to many who will miss him deeply.

Dimitrios was the patriarch and heart of the Sikaras family. He leaves behind a legacy of integrity, strength and devotion. He was immensely proud of his children and grandchildren. His wife, Angeliki, was the love of his life and he treasured her deeply. A man of great character, Dimitrios lived with unwavering values and inspired those around him to do the same.
