Honoring the Life and Legacy of Jeff Tomczak

Firefighter Jeff Tomczak in his fire gear.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Jeff Tomczak, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in April 2023. On Thursday, July 25th, Jeff's suffering came to an end.

Jeff dedicated over 25 years as a DOD firefighter for the U.S. Army and U.S. Air National Guard, served as a firefighter and fire marshal for the Allentown Fire Department for 14 years, and worked as the Deputy Fire Marshal for Upper Gwynedd Township. He was also a 28-year member of the Upper Gwynedd Township Fire Department, serving as Chief until his passing.

The military and the IAFF are recognizing Jeff's cancer as occupational and are treating his death as an occupational line-of-duty death.

Jeff leaves behind his beloved wife, Brittany, and their two sons, Matthew and Connor. In this difficult time, any support to help Jeff's family would be greatly appreciated.

Let us honor Jeff's legacy and commitment to service by supporting his family during this challenging period.
