Yatron, who had served in Berks since 2006 and was most recently elected in 2015, had previously worked in the county district attorney's office, the state attorney general's office, and the state auditor general's office, according to his obituary in the Reading Eagle.
Gov. Wolf ordered all flags at the Capitol Complex in Harrisburg and at all state buildings in Berks County to fly at half-mast until Yatron's funeral, which has not yet been announced.
