Gary Gene Yeager

Gary Gene Yeager, 67, passed away on June 30, 2022 from complications of Multiple Sclerosis surrounded by his family.

Gary was born on April 17, 1955 in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin to Harold and Fran Yeager, later moving to Waterloo, Iowa. Gary graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 1973. Gary married Marlayna Yeager (Marken) in 1977. They had two children, DeAnne and Ryan. Gary worked at body shops and as a Snap-On Tool dealer before he began working at Federated Insurance in 1988. Gary married Peggy Yeager (Peterson) of Fort Dodge, IA in 2005. Peggy brought two sons to the marriage, Mark and Bergan. Gary and Peggy loved to travel. Peggy was a great caregiver to Gary during the 17 years they had together.

Gary was known for his sarcasm and dry humor. He loved the Iowa Hawkeyes and Chicago Cubs. Gary had a big heart and loved helping friends and family in any way he could. He enjoyed getting to work on computers and being “tech support” for friends and family. Gary is going to be missed by so many.
