Joseph Hepsak Obituary

Joseph Mark Hepsak, 63

Joe passed away peacefully June 9, 2025 after choosing to discontinue dialysis treatments which he endured for a number of years. He was born in Fairbanks Alaska in 1962. He was preceded in death by his parents Joseph and Marie Hepsak. He is survived by brothers Richard, Norman and Rocky and sisters Sharon and Donna as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

After spending time in Alaska, Oregon, Washington and Nevada he moved to the CDA/Post Falls area. He worked at the local CDA radio station under the name of Joe Rodgers for a time. He also worked as a bartender in CDA as well as Kimball Furniture in Post Falls for a number of years.
