On Monday, we've learned that Donzell Starks - with his wife Alisa Starks one of the owners ICE Theaters - he died due to pancreatic cancer according to a fb status shared on Concerned Citizens of Chatham .
Also in that same status Alisa was referred to as his ex-wife, unsure if that could be verified independently of social media.
One of the main stories we covered during the past four years revolves around the ownership of the Chatham 14 changing hands. With a business dispute causing ICE Theaters to be evicted from the Chatham with operations taken by new ownership. Currently, the Chatham is owned by the Texas based company Studio Movie Grill.
In 1997 ICE Theaters built and opened theaters in the Chatham, Englewood, and Lawndale bring movie theaters back into inner city neighborhoods. He without a doubt leaves behind a significant legacy that hopefully other entrepreneurs in our communities will also do something as groundbreaking.
Condolences to the Starks family.
