Questions remain regarding the unexpected death of local deputy sheriff
St Johns County Sheriff’s Patrol Shift Leader, Sergeant Coby Brandon Seckinger, died unexpectedly on Monday evening, December 14, 2020. He would have turned 43-years-old next month on his birthday, January 14, 1978.
According to Historic City News sources, Seckinger went for a run in the Greenridge subdivision in St Johns County where he and his wife lived and he either collapsed during the run, or shortly thereafter.
“Seckinger was the recipient of many awards during his tenure with the sheriff’s department, including the Joshua E. Blyer Award, Exceptional Service Award, Combat Awards, Lifesaving Medals, and Sheriff’s Commendations,” a sheriff’s spokesman said.
