David Harry Lisberg, 80 years old of Chicago IL and Palm Beach Gardens Florida passed away on May 
9, 2024 in Chicago Illinois due to complications from Parkinson’s Disease.

David was born on May 20, 1943 to Irving Lisberg and Esther (Brown) Lisberg in Aurora, IL. David 
was a 1961 Graduate of West Aurora High School where he enjoyed participation on the golf team and 
in marching band where his leadership earned him the position of drum major for the Marching 
Blackhawks.

In 1965, David received his undergraduate degree in Business Administration from the University of 
Denver. During his studies there, he met and ultimately married the love of his life, Katherine 
(Yesnick) Lisberg. David and Kathy married in 1967 and were blessed with 57 years of joyous life 
together.

David was an entrepreneur, and from 1970 through the mid 1990s, he was the 2nd generation owner 
operator of the family business, the Aurora and Naperville News Agencies. He was an active member 
of the Midwest Independent Distributors Association during that time, serving in various leadership 
positions. David also successfully owned and operated a number of other small businesses during his 
working years. Through all his business endeavors, he made a special effort to treat all his 
employees like family. For this he was beloved.

David’s true passion outside of the business arena was the game of golf. He was a former member of 
the Aurora Country Club in Illinois as well as current member at Eastpointe Country Club in Florida 
where he recently received an award from his golfing group out of their admiration for his 
dedication and persistence to the game. Despite his Parkinson’s affliction, David could be found 
hitting golf balls any chance he could, even when standing and walking became a challenge.

The highest priority for David was as husband to Kathy, and father to his two loving children. He 
was also the proud and doting grandfather to four grandchildren. As a father and grandfather, he 
never missed a sporting event, play, recital or any other special event in the lives of his 
children and grandchildren. They were his world.

David was preceded in his death by his parents, Irving and Esther Lisberg, his brother Burton 
Lisberg, and his sister, Diane (Lisberg) Brezner. He is survived by his wife, Kathy (Yesnick) 
Lisberg, two children: Robert (Jocelyn) Lisberg, Amy (Tony) Briney, and his four grandchildren: 
Jaelen Lisberg, Lucy Lisberg, Jordan Briney and Jack Briney.

Avenue, Chicago, IL with reception immediately following at Gibson’s restaurant, 1028 N. Rush
