AI Summary

This resolution commemorates the life of Dimitrios Konstantinos Kakouras, a Greek immigrant and beloved community member from Spartanburg, South Carolina, who passed away at 65 on April 7, 2025. Born in Greece in 1959, Kakouras immigrated to America with his family, where they established several successful restaurants in Pennsylvania and later in South Carolina, including the Grapevine Restaurant in Boiling Springs. The resolution highlights his significant community contributions, including being named Citizen of the Year in 2011 and receiving the Gregory Memorial Award in 2024, and emphasizes his deep commitment to family, hospitality, and his Greek Orthodox faith. Kakouras is survived by his wife Marina, two sons Konstantinos and Christos, a grandson also named Dimitri, and two brothers, and the resolution formally expresses the South Carolina House of Representatives' profound sorrow at his passing while extending deepest sympathy to his family and friends. As a final gesture, the resolution stipulates that a copy of the document will be presented to his family, serving as an official recognition of Kakouras's life and legacy.
