KC Linen Supply VP Passes On

David Kartsonis, 33, vice president of Superior Linen Supply, Kansas City, MO, died early Saturday, Jan. 10, at home in Brookside, a Kansas City neighborhood, according to news reports.

Kartsonis – along with other managers in the family business – was long active in TRSA.

Born in Kansas City, he graduated in 2004 from the University of Central Missouri, then joined the family business as part of a fourth generation of managers. His key accomplishments – achieved in concert with his brother Matthew Kartsonis – included his company’s acquisitions of Medical Laundry Service and Mr. Mat. David also was an Eagle Scout and a Warrior in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say.

Survivors include his wife, Georgia; daughters, Maria Georgia and Andriana Georgia; parents Bill and Jan Kartsonis of Lake Winnebago, MO; a brother, Matthew (Sara), Kansas City; father- and mother-in-law Demetri and Andriana Velis, Dallas; grandmothers Edith Kartsonis and Darlene Godt, both of Lee’s Summit, MO.
