DAVID ZINK Obituary

David Lawrence Zink, 61, passed away April 24, 2013, at the Veteran's Medical Center. David was born September 18, 1951, in Kansas City, Missouri. After graduating from North Kansas City High School he joined the Army where he served three years as a cartographer. During his service David received an accommodation for saving a soldier from a barracks fire. After the Army, David attended Tyler College in Tyler, Texas, graduating Honor Roll with an Associate's Degree in Science. After college David returned to Kansas City to live, work and go to church. David's family will always remember what a beautiful and active little boy he was, who grew up to love swimming, sailing, tennis and cycling. In his leisure time David loved his cars, playing pool, cards, movies, and his all time favorite, fishing. David's loved ones will miss his handsome face and boyish smile. David leaves behind his wife Patti Zink, mother Helen V. Zink, sister Kay Hendrix, nieces Tiffany A. Miller, Stevie Lynne Hendrix, Summer Hendrix, nephew Eric Hendrix and great-nephew Gabriel Miller. Condolence cards may be sent to David's mother, Helen V. Zink, at his family home. A celebration of life will be held for David May 5, 2013; friends can contact Patti Zink at 816-352-7885 for location and details.
