JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Former Jacksonville mayor, state legislator and City Councilmember Tommy Hazouri died at his home Saturday of complications from a lung transplant he received last year.
In his nearly 50 years of public service, he was known for his passion for the city and his commitment to making change through government action.
Following the announcement of the 76-year-old's death, several Jacksonville leaders took to social media to pay tribute to his legacy and the mark he left on the city.
Our city mourns the loss of a true Jacksonville champion. Tommy, I will always value your friendship, leadership, and passion for our community. You will be dearly missed. Godspeed, my friend. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with your family. pic.twitter.com/RYoDwagxFY

The City of Jacksonville has lost a tremendous force for good in our community. Mayor Tommy Hazouri committed himself to making Jacksonville a great place to work, play, and raise a family. He was a personal friend and longtime supporter of the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
