Michael Henry Moellers, 72, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, passed away on Sunday, December 15, 2024, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.
No services are planned at this time. Iowa Cremation is assisting the family.
Survivors include his wife, Linda Kay Moellers; son, John (Alexandria) Moellers of West Des Moines; grandsons, Wyatt Moellers and Milo Moellers; brother, Patrick Moellers of Westgate, Iowa.
He was preceded in death by his parents, sister Catherine Moellers, brother, Joseph Moellers and grandpuppy, Curly.
Michael Henry Moellers was born November 20, 1952, in Algona, Iowa, the son of Clarence and Catherine (Hanney) Moellers. Michael served in the US Air Force and on October 7, 1978, he married Linda Kay Hunt at Strawberry Point, Iowa. He worked as a graphic artist and then as a Tool Crib Mechanic at the Amana/Whirlpool Corp. for many years until retiring in 2017.
Michael’s favorite phrase was “I never grew up.” He took that to heart when he visited his grandchildren and would get on the ground into the world of make believe. Michael was a prankster seeking to brighten anyone’s day he met and also tell his corny dad jokes. His hearty laughter and undeniable love of his family was apparent to anyone who cherished him. Michael wore many hats over the years but he valued being a father, husband, and grandfather above all. Michael never wasted a moment to tell his son, daughter-in-law, wife, and grandchildren how precious they were to him. Michael leaves an undeniable mark in the way his son cares for his children and the way his wife seeks to brighten anyone’s day. Michael’s example is one of light, love, forgiveness, and devotion. We are all blessed to know him and remember him as an intelligent, loving, and caring man. We will always love Michael and the joy he brought us. We go through the pain together hand in hand and cry as one voice. We carry on because Michael would want us to and to shine a light for others. Goodbye to our blessed father, grandfather, brother, and dear friend. You are truly missed and will never be forgotten. A celebration of life will be held sometime in the Spring.
