It was early mornings loading gear under Maui’ s skies. It was the echo of paint cracking against bunkers. It was hugs in the staging area and shared meals from the local Maui Mixed Plate food truck that were enjoyed between missions. It was remembering Jessica Cortez, not with silence alone, but with the kind of action she loved to facilitate and inspire: playing hard, playing fair, and playing together.
The 2026 OhanaPB event at Maui Paintball will be remembered not just for Purple’ s narrow victory or for the strategic chess match across the field. It will be remembered for its heart. For two sisters, young stars rising, who had the opportunity to taste leadership with phenomenal support. For Pink and Purple serving as symbols of unity. And for a community that continues to show that scenario paintball, at its best, is family
