In Memory: Liam Michael Doherty, Age 54
Liam Michael Doherty, 54, passed away on Saturday, April 12, 2025, following a brief illness. Born in White Plains, NY, Liam was the beloved son of Susan Doherty and the late Peter Doherty. He is survived by his mother; his sister, Jennifer Hohman, and her husband, David Hohman; and his cherished daughter, Kathryn Reilly Doherty, 14.
Liam grew up in Rye, New York, where his love for sports and the outdoors took root early and remained a constant throughout his life. Whether playing lacrosse and football, teeing off with friends, or savoring the ocean breeze at the beach, Liam was most at home outside, surrounded by the people he loved.
Professionally, Liam built a successful career for more than 30 years as a growth executive in the Virginia area, specializing in IT and cybersecurity. He held leadership roles at several respected companies, including Samsung, Lockheed Martin, SESC, Intervise, and most recently, Plurilock. Colleagues knew him for his expertise, determination, and generosity of spirit.
Liam will be remembered for his big heart, quick wit, and the deep love he held for his family and friends. His presence will be profoundly missed, and his memory will live on in all who knew and loved him.
In memory of Liam, for those who wish, a donation in his name may be made to the Friends of Homeless Animals (FOHA). A celebration of Liam’s life is being planned by the family and is expected to take place later this spring.
