My heart breaks for your family and it's even more tragic that they were with you when you were murdered. I pray that they will find peace one day with their fond memories of you. You definitely showed that you were a hero because of the way you lived - laying your life down to try to save a friend.

Officer Tokuoka, from one Marine to another, you were faithful to the end. You sir are a true hero to others. We only hope my friend you find peace now and know your efforts here in this world were not in vain, they were not. You and your partner will live in the hearts of all who follow you. Rest in peace Marine. Semper Fi...to the end.

My condolences to you and your family my brother. This is a sad day for our community, for another warrior has paid the ultimate sacrifice. God Speed my friend, we got it from here. You like many before you have stood in the face of evil and did not bow down, you are a true warrior in every sense, job well done. May God watch over your family. This is the type of warrior whom will hold a high place in God's Kingdom, you have given all for your fellow man. Thank you my brother for a job well done.

May your fondest memories bring you peace at this most difficult time. Prayers and thoughts are with you.

Every once in a while,
I have to sit and think.
Is this the call that's gonna do it,
push me to the brink?

I know I truly love my job,
and you put me to the test.
But even every now and then,
I deserve a little rest.

We put our lives on the line,
to make life safer for you.
Do we ever hear a thanks,
maybe on an occasion or two.

You do not know what we see,
you haven't got a clue.
You see it in the papers,
or some times on the news.

We live our lives day to day,
and have to watch our backs.
You don't even try to help us,
you let us slip into the cracks.

If we didn't do our jobs,
and keep you out of harms way.
This country would be a mess,
and you'd really have to pray.

We are not the bad guys,
we should be dressed in white.
We are the ones you call,
when you get into a fight.

This is the job I chose,
and I took an oath for you.
So every time I leave my home,
please say a prayer or two.

So when you see a police officer,
they're the one that's dressed in blue.
They may be trying to save your life,
or be there to comfort you.

Unfortunately there may come a day,
when my life could end.
Will you even miss me,
or know I was someone's friend.

Will you help raise my children,
teach them right from wrong.
Will you tell them all about me,
please tell them to be strong.

Tell them that I love them,
and I'll always be right here.
They may not be able to see me,
but they'll know that I do care.

Tell them I was doing my job,
that they put me to the test.
That what I did was to save a life,
and now I'm laid to rest.

My job will never be done,
even from heaven I will see.
this is the job that I love,
it is the only one for me.

So the next time you see a Police Officer,
tell them they are great,
Because the next time you may see them,
they could be standing at heavens gates

If the Army and the Navy ever looked on Heaven's scenes, they would find the streets are guarded by Officer Matt Tokuoka.

I know of no words that will suffice. No words that are adequate. I would like for the family, friends and co-workers of Officer Matthew Tokuoka to know there are people all across this nation that will lift you up in prayer before the Almighty.
May you each experience the eternal love, peace and endless blessings of our Lord and Savior in the coming days.
I am very sorry for your loss.
