Tokuda Releases Statement on Passing of Hawaiʻi County Fire Chief Kazuo Todd Washington, D.C. — U.S. Representative Jill Tokuda (HI-02) released the following statement on the passing of Hawaiʻi County Fire Chief Kazuo Todd: “I am deeply saddened by the passing of Hawaiʻi County Fire Chief Kazuo Todd. Chief Todd was more than a dedicated public servant — he was a devoted son, a loving husband, and a proud father who carried those values of family into every part of his life and work. I will always remember the way Chief Todd took care of all of Hawaiʻi Island like family. Whether in moments of crisis or calm, he led with compassion, humility, and an unwavering sense of responsibility to the people he served. He was a true servant leader — someone who put others before himself, earned trust through action, and led not for recognition, but out of love for his community. In this moment of deep sadness, perhaps the best way we can honor Chief Todd is to live and lead as he did — with courage, integrity, and care for one another.” ### Print Email Share Tweet Previous Article Next Article About Services Media Contact Privacy Policy Facebook Logo Twitter Logo BlueSky Logo Youtube Logo Instagram Logo
