Joe Arakaki-Poepoe was more than just a gifted athlete; he was a shining star whose passion for the game inspired everyone who knew him. From his early days at St. Louis High School to his time at the University of Hawaii Hilo, Joe’s talent on the baseball field was undeniable. His teammates admired his skill, dedication, and the way he could light up the diamond with his energy. Even after his college years, Joe’s love for the sport never faded. He joined the Hawaii Five-0 softball club, where his passion and athleticism were as vibrant as ever. Watching him take the field, you could see the same spark that made him a standout player in his youth. Off the field, Joe was a devoted husband and father who wholeheartedly dedicated himself to providing love, support, and everything his family needed. He was also a respected leader and hardworking professional, serving as the General Manager for Summit Fire Security. His commitment to excellence and his warm spirit touched many lives. Now, as we come together to raise funds for Joe’s funeral service, we remember not only the athlete and the manager but the incredible person he was—a devoted family man whose legacy lives on in the hearts of those who loved him. Your support helps honor his memory and the lasting impact he made on all of us. We are facing unexpected funeral costs after Joe's passing, and the funds raised will go towards funeral arrangements and a memorial service to honor his life.
