The City of Arkansas City is deeply saddened to announce the passing of Chad Gleason, who died Thursday morning while on duty—doing the work he cared deeply about and took great pride in every day.  Chad had been a valued member of the City’s Sanitation Division since January 2024. More than a colleague, he was a trusted friend and an essential part of the Public Services Department. His strong work ethic, positive attitude, and dedication to serving Arkansas City will be profoundly missed by all who had the honor of working  with him.
