Charles Matsubara

Charles Matsubara, Charlie to everyone, was the youngest of six children and grew up in Maui. He passed away at Kula Hospital where he spent his last couple years but had great care from the Kula nurses and staff and Hospice Maui.

In Charlie’s early years he worked as a plumber but soon transitioned to electrical work and eventually retired as an electrician. He helped many of his friends and relatives putting his trades to good use during his lifetime but he enjoyed his free time fishing, diving for tako, and making ono pupus for his friends and family to enjoy. He also served in the Army as a medic for a couple years during the Korean War.

Charlie’s wife, Stella, passed many years before him but is survived by his children Lynn Dacuag and Guy Matsubara; granddaughters Cassi and Mia; great grandchildren Rylynn, Chase, and Chance; and his youngest sister Sets Takahashi.

Service will be held on Saturday, April 12, 2025 at Nakamura Mortuary in Wailuku at 11:00 AM.
