My heart is full of sadness, and at the same time, it is full of gratitude that I had the privilege and honor to be associated with Officer Matthew Tokuoka in the work to which he had dedicated his life, He was my Brother in Blue. Our brother was not only a devoted and loyal public servant he was much more. He was a... great person, a person of integrity and honor. Officer Tokuoka shared our ideas, our thoughts, our principles, our desires, and our dedication to serve the communities in which we live. It is with sad heart and tearful eye that we prepare for the final farewell. I am sure if anyone deserves a reward beyond this world; Officer Matthew Tokuoka deserves it fully.

Hi Matt (an AMAZING man):

I cannot believe you and Tony are gone. I wish we could have saved you. The whole town and even the whole State of Alaska is in shock and very angry. I can't reconcile that a slimy, cowardly dirtbag could bring down a big, hearty, decent family man and US Marine like you. Then again, cowards cheat and use guns, so that tells alot. No man was bad enough to take you down by hand.

I swear we will look out for your family and your great kids. Your wife is so brave.

By the way: I DO know what you all were planning...your prank on me, she confessed haha!~ I am sorry it didn't happen.

God bless and rest easy brother. We have the watch from here. Semper Fi!

May God bless each and every person that knew you. May he especially bless anyone who may have witnessed this act of the devil. Im sorry that you had to leave this Earth at such a young age, due to the actions of another human being. May justice prevail!

For Sergeant Anthony Wallace and Officer Matthew Tokuoka:

Our duty as police officers is one of risk and danger. Hardly ever is there a time when the possibility of attack is not present. Regretfully, we cannot positively guarantee even our own safety. Especially when crazed and vicious types walk among us.

We regret that our brothers Anthony and Matthew have fallen victim of and individual harboring enough hate to slay them - and in the presence of loved ones. Surely both of these officers viewed the public they served with both trust and admiration. We hope that one individual will not now have replaced this with any over-measure of fear and suspicion by those who continue to keep law and order.

We pray for the families, friends, co-workers and all who care about Anthony and Matthew. May they all be ready to reach-out to one another and to keep alive the pride Anthony and Matthew had for their community.

I am proud to render Sergeant Anthony Wallace and Officer Matthew Tokuoko a final salute.

The community of Hoonah has lost a valuable peace officer. Officer Tokuoka's family will always be a member of a very spcial law enforcement family. You will have shoulders to lean on and arms to comfort you during this sad time. Your Matt gave his life doing something he felt worthwhile and meaningful...protecting the people of his community.
