Olufunso “Joe” Bamidele Olowofoyeku
Olufunso Bamidele Olowofoyeku, our beloved “Joe”, 36, of Honolulu, entered our father’s kingdom on January 19, 2006.
Joe was born in Washington, DC on August 10, 1969 to Dr. Bamisegun Victor Olowofoyeku and Mrs. Temitayo Aderibigbe.
He enlisted in the United States Navy shortly after his high school graduation and immediately began training to become a Navy Corpsman in Illinois.
Joe was a combat veteran of the United States Navy, where he served as a decorated Navy Corpsman during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. Joe was awarded a Good Conduct citation by the United States Navy and his unit was decorated for their time in combat in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
Joe was honorably discharged from the United States Navy in 1993 after proudly serving his country for more than 5 years.
Although Joe was born on the “mainland”, he lived nearly half his life in Hawaii and chose to start and raise his family in the paradise he called home.
Joe is survived by his sons Kamal and Kalel Olowofoyeku: brothers, Temilade Olowofoyeku, Kwame Jackson, Debo Aderibigbe and sister Fehintola Aderibigbe; father, Dr. Bamisegun Victor Olowofoyeku; mother Mrs. Temitayo Aderibigbe.
Joe’s warmth and energy surrounds us all and we are all better for the light he brought into each of our lives. God bless him and all who shared in his life.
