Ted Gajewski Obituary, Death – Keyport Public Servant and Former Police Chief Remembered
The Keyport community is mourning the passing of Ted Gajewski, a longtime public servant whose dedication to helping others spanned decades of volunteer emergency service and law enforcement.
The Keyport First Aid Squad announced Gajewski’s death, remembering him as a Life Member and former Captain who devoted much of his life to serving the community. His passing marks the loss of a respected Keyport figure whose commitment to helping others touched many people over the years.
A Life Dedicated to Public Service
Gajewski’s connection to the Keyport First Aid Squad reflected a longstanding commitment to assisting people during some of their most difficult moments. As a volunteer and former Captain, he gave his time, experience and leadership to the organization while working alongside fellow members committed to helping their neighbors.
His service to Keyport extended beyond emergency medical response. Gajewski also served with the Keyport Police Department, where he built a career in law enforcement and eventually rose to the position of Chief of Police before retiring.
Serving as a police officer and later as Chief required years of dedication to the community and to the responsibilities entrusted to him. His career placed him in another role where helping, protecting and responding to the needs of residents were central to his work.
Through both the First Aid Squad and Police Department, Gajewski became closely connected to Keyport and its residents. His service in two different public-service roles reflected a sustained commitment to the town and the people who called it home.

The Keyport First Aid Squad’s announcement highlighted Gajewski’s longstanding relationship with the organization. As a Life Member and former Captain, he remained part of the squad’s history and was remembered for the years he devoted to volunteer service.
Volunteer emergency organizations depend on people willing to give their time and experience to assist others, often during difficult and unpredictable circumstances. Gajewski’s decades of involvement represented that commitment and became an important part of his connection to the community.
For fellow volunteers and former colleagues, his passing means losing not only a longtime member of the squad but also someone whose professional and volunteer careers were both centered on public service.
