Moore orders flags lowered Saturday in honor of Niemann

Maryland flags will fly at half-staff Saturday in honor of former Del. Doyle L. Niemann, who died earlier this month.

Niemann served for more than a decade in the House of Delegates representing Prince George’s County as a Democrat. He also held a number of other position in Prince George’s County, including on the school board and in the state’s attorney’s office.

Niemann, 77, died on May 1 at Washington Hospital Center. A former colleague told Maryland Matters that Niemann’s death was the result of complications from surgery to remove a tumor.

He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Karen, and three children — Cassi Niemann, Shea Niemann, and Travis Niemann — four grandchildren, and a brother.

Gov. Wes Moore (D) ordered flags to be flown and half-staff from sunrise to sunset on June 1 to honor Niemann.
