May 29, 1969 – August 2, 2025
Jeff, age 56, fell asleep in death on Saturday, August 2nd 2025. He was born on May 29, 1969 in Barberton, Ohio and was a faithful member of the Greensburg Congregation of Jehovah’s Witnesses. He graduated from Manchester High School in 1987 and was employed by the City of Wadsworth for the past 28 years.
Many knew Jeff as an avid golfer and anyone who met him could see his love for life, conversation, and laughs.
Jeff is survived by his wife and best friend of 36 years, Sheri (Briggs) Barbas, mother Karen Barbas, brothers Todd Barbas and Barry (Joyce) Barbas and many nieces and nephews whom he loved dearly. He was preceded in death by his father, Gerald Barbas, and a brother Thad Barbas.
The family would like to express their heartfelt appreciation for the nursing staff on the 5West Floor of Akron City Summa Hospital, particularly nurses Alyse, Martina, and Marie who took such good care of Jeff in his final days. Your compassion and empathy will not be forgotten.
