Joseph "Joe" Murray Armacost, Jr.

Joseph “Joe” Murray Armacost Jr., of Baltimore, Maryland, passed away on July 19, 2025, at the age of 68. Born on
November 28, 1956, to Joseph and Mary Armacost, Joe lived a bold, passionate, and purpose-driven life that
touched countless others.
In Joe’s own words:
“I have had a fantastic full life. I had great parents who loved me very much and only wanted to see me do better
than they did in their lifetimes. I went to very good schools — Holy Trinity, Mount St. Joe, and Glen Burnie High
School. How many people can say they did the things I did in my lifetime? Racing motorcycles, being a professional
drummer and singer, working in professional radio and video. Traveling the world and producing nationally
recognized, popular podcasts — and finally, getting to play and sing in church. I was blessed to marry the love of
my life, Maureen Armacost, who made a wonderful wife and mother to our two sons, Joey and Misha, who have
been the biggest blessing in my life.”
Joe spent nearly 30 years as an executive producer for Talk Radio WCBM in Baltimore, a role he loved and excelled
in. That experience became the launching pad for the next chapter of his professional journey — producing some of
the most successful and widely recognized podcasts in the country.
Joe’s energy was unmistakable — whether behind the drums, in a radio studio, or performing at church. He had a
deep love for storytelling, music, laughter, and most of all, his family. His career spanned music, broadcasting, video
production, and podcasting. Everywhere he went, Joe brought joy, creativity, and heart.
Joe’s faith was central to his life. He openly and joyfully accepted Jesus Christ into his heart and found great purpose
in sharing his gifts through worship and service.
He is survived by Maureen; his cherished sons, Joey and Misha; and a wide circle of family and friends who will
always remember his talent, humor, faith, and generous spirit.
