Michael Kasper, who led a major expansion of Downers Grove-based DuPage Medical Group as its CEO, died unexpectedly Saturday at age 46, a spokeswoman said Monday.

With Kasper at the helm, DuPage Medical expanded its reach across the suburbs as one of the state's largest independent physician practices, while maintaining its autonomy in an era of mergers between doctors groups and larger hospital systems.

DuPage Medical spokeswoman Marianne Geiger released a statement that did not give a cause of death, but said Kasper 'passed away tragically' Saturday.

'We are shocked and saddened by the tragic passing of our beloved leader and colleague, Mike Kasper,' the statement read. 'DMG's leadership team, board of directors, physicians, employees, patients and the entire health care community mourn his loss. We extend our deepest sympathies to his wife and children and ask that you respect their privacy during this difficult time.'

Kasper helped propel DuPage Medical's growth through medical group acquisitions and a $1.45 billion funding boost from a Los Angeles-based private equity group in 2017. DuPage Medical Group has more than 700 practitioners, up from about 290 physicians when Kasper became CEO in 2010.
