The community is mourning the death of Jeffrey Flynn, a longtime resident and 16-year employee with Summit County government who died in a suspected boating accident on the Eagle River on Sunday, June 6.
Flynn moved to Summit County nearly 30 years ago, according to County Manager Scott Vargo, who called him a friend as well as a co-worker. He began his time with the county government in June 2005, working his way up from combination inspector to senior inspector and plans examiner.
Vargo said his colleagues at the county government, as well as in the greater community, would be deeply impacted by Flynn’s death and that all would remember him fondly.
