Mark Logsdon, 43, of Fallston

Mark Logsdon was one of two deputies in Harford County killed in the line of duty Wednesday, Feb. 10.

Logsdon, 43, of Fallston, was assigned to the community services division of the Harford County Sheriff’s Office, where he worked for 16 years.

Before that, Logsdon served in the U.S. Army, including a tour to Iraq, and attended Central Texas College.

He graduated from Mount Savage High School in Allegany County, where he lived in Ellerslie, according to the Cumberland Times. A former classmate and current police lieutenant in Cumberland described him as “an extremely good guy.”

A woman who lived next door to him in Fallston said Logsdon was “the best neighbor you could ask for”—he mowed the lawn for the 86-year-old and refused payment, according to The Baltimore Sun, which reported he would also frequently help pick up a neighbor prone to falls.

“He was everybody’s hero,” his father told The Sun.

Logsdon is survived by his wife, three children and his parents.
