Jeffrey Raymond Moon, 56, passed away unexpectedly on Friday, December 14, 2018 at his home. He was born in Des Moines, on February 4, 1962, to Jack and Irene (Dyer) Moon.
Jeff worked at Principal as a computer operator for many years and was also a volunteer firefighter for Saylor Township and Bondurant. He loved tinkering in his garage, working on cars or anything with a motor, and creating metal yard art out of horseshoes. Jeff truly was a “jack of all trades.” He loved the outdoors, especially camping and fishing. Jeff was also an avid Green Bay Packers fan.
A loving husband, father, son, brother, and friend, he will be remembered for his great sense of humor, but most importantly the love he had for his family. He was the best dad in the world!

Preceded in death by his father Jack Moon and beloved dog Max.
