A Fairborn High School graduate who deployed overseas as a civilian defense contractor has died after an incident in Afghanistan, according to her employer.

Christina S. Maddock, 27, of Fairborn, died Sunday at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center, a U.S. military hospital in Germany, her employer reported Monday.

She deployed to Afghanistan in mid-January as a field support representative with Colorado Springs, Colo.-based Intelligent Software Solutions. She was a 2003 Fairborn High School alumnus and 2009 Wright State University graduate.

Funeral arrangements remained pending Monday, according to Melissa Burkett, an Intelligent Software Solutions spokeswoman.

“We’re very saddened by this event and we extend our deepest condolences to her family and the Fairborn community,” Burkett said.

The company said it did not have additional information about what occurred or when. The Department of Defense has deferred questions to the company.

Those who knew Maddock said she was a cheerful person who easily attracted friends.

“Christina was a very excitable, happy-go-lucky type of person,” said Kameron T. Smith, a 23-year-old Wright State University student from Fairborn. “She always had a big smile on her face.”

Maddock, a second lieutenant in the Ohio Air National Guard, stood just over five feet tall but her diminutive stature didn’t belie her personality, Smith said.

“She had a lot of spunk for being so short and so small,” he said.

Wright State’s Delta Tau Delta fraternity raised nearly $5,000 from donations to defray the travel expenses of James “Jimmy” Maddock, Christina Maddock’s brother, and other family members, Smith said.

James Maddock is the president-elect of the fraternity.

“What we’re trying to do is just raising money for him and his family to be able to kind of ignore the financial burden that comes with this traumatic event,” Smith said.
