County official says IT cybersecurity chief Christopher Shepherd, 38, died after pneumonia complications
Summary
A county commissioner reported the death of Christopher Shepherd, 38, who served as chief of cybersecurity in St. Mary's County IT department; a celebration of life service was held at Living Community Church in California, Maryland.
An unnamed St. Mary's County commissioner announced the death of Christopher Shepherd, 38, who worked in the county's information technology department as chief of cybersecurity. The commissioner said Shepherd died after developing pneumonia and related complications.
The commissioner said a celebration of Shepherd's life was held at Living Community Church in California, Maryland, off Chances Run Road, and described the service as well attended. The speaker said Shepherd is survived by a 7-year-old daughter and that Shepherd's father is the pastor at the church, which the speaker said made the service especially emotional.
The commissioner said Shepherd had been a "great employee" and would be sorely missed by St. Mary's County. The remarks occurred at the start of the meeting during county announcements and were offered as a remembrance rather than part of a personnel action.
No departmental or personnel actions were announced in the transcript excerpt.
