Karl Smith in Hawaii

Remembering

Karl Smith

1968 - 2024

Our Castle feels empty and our hearts broken as we sadly announce the passing of our Hawaii Regional Manager, Karl Smith.

Karl joined our team in 2022 to lead our Oahu branch and build out the Hawaii Region. He was an optimistic leader with passion for his family, friends, and profession. He always explored possibilities to build his business and quickly became one of the most out-of-the-box thinkers in our industry. He was proud to represent us in the Hawaiian Islands where our company’s roots were initially formed.

Karl was a dedicated father and a loyal friend. He was close friends with many of our loan officers and managers, with several friendships forged in high school. In other words, Karl was a friend first, and a business partner second.

There are many stories that make us laugh and cry. Our thoughts are with Karl's friends and family as we mourn his passing. Please join us as we honor Karl’s legacy.
