A funeral will be held Tuesday for a Naperville man who was fatally shot last week at the Arlington Heights condominium complex where he worked.

The service for Steven M. Weigensberg, 53, is set for 10 a.m. at Congregation Beth Shalom, 772 W. 5th Ave., Naperville. A graveside service will follow at Naperville Cemetery, 705 S. Washington St.

Weigensberg’s body was found Friday afternoon in a utility room of a building on the 1500 block of East Central Road, in the Dana Point complex. Weigensberg was a property manager at Dana Point, Arlington Heights police confirmed.

Weigensberg was shot by a Dana Point maintenance worker, 53-year-old Juan Medina of Palatine, police said. Medina then fatally shot himself in the same room, police said.

A handgun was found in the room. A motive hasn’t been disclosed.

Weigensberg and Medina had worked together about five years, Arlington Heights police said Monday.

A Montreal native, Weigensberg worked as a Realtor before becoming a property manager. Professional peers described him on his LinkedIn page as industrious, entrepreneurial and thorough.

Weigensberg met his wife, Elizabeth, after moving to North Carolina from Canada, according to an online fundraiser benefiting his family. From there they moved to Chicago and then Naperville.

Weigensberg volunteered as a Cub Scout Leader, taught at a Jewish school and served on the Huntington Estates Homeowners Association. He was described as playful and generous.

In addition to his wife, Weigensberg’s survivors include sons Morrison and Macallan, his father and two brothers.

A spokesperson for the Weigensberg family said they’ve requested privacy. They also asked the community to reject gun violence “in all its forms.”
