Sharonville Police Chief Steve Vanover has died, the department announced this morning through social media.

On Aug. 29, Vanover suffered a serious medical event at his home. He was rushed to Bethesda North Hospital, where he died Sunday night, according to officials.

“The Chief was passionate about Sharonville and passionate about technology and data,” the department wrote in a Facebook post. “We saw him eat, sleep, live and breathe in and around our new policed department non-stop for the last two years to get it built. He never wanted accolades or attention, and he was never really comfortable in the spotlight, always allowing others to take the credit.

“Truthfully, he was probably happiest listening to a Reds game and mowing grass, spending an afternoon at the beach with his wife, or being a doting Papaw to his grandson,” the Facbook post says

“God Speed, Chief. Rest in Peace. We have the watch from here.”
