WAUKEGAN — A funeral in Texas and a memorial service at the Jack Benny Center have been arranged for actor Justin Mentell, a 2001 Waukegan High School graduate who died Monday in a Wisconsin car accident.

The 27-year-old “Boston Legal” co-star was found dead outside his 2005 Jeep early Monday after the vehicle apparently left the roadway and struck trees along state highway 39 in Iowa County, Wis.

According to a statement released this week by the Waukegan Park District, a graveside service will be held at Restland Memorial Cemetery in Dallas on Saturday.

Mentell was born in Austin and moved to Waukegan with his mother, Alicia, during his childhood.

Locally, a memorial service will be held on Feb. 13 at 3 p.m. at the Jack Benny Center for the Arts, 39 Jack Benny Drive.

In lieu of flowers, his family has requested that donations may be made in Mentell’s name to the Waukegan Park District’s cultural arts program.
