Gregory Moeller Obituary
Gregory Moeller
March 20, 1970-February 25, 2022
We mourn the loss of a deeply loved uncle, brother and son, Gregory Moeller.
Greg was born on March 20, 1970 in Iowa City, IA to Ron and Dianna Moeller. The family eventually moved to Mason City where Greg had a joyful childhood filled with neighborhood friends, skateboarding with his dog Zach, sailing with his brother in Clear Lake, and involvement in many music and athletic activities. He graduated from Mason City High School, class of '88, and then completed his undergraduate degree at University of Iowa and a law degree at the University of Arizona. Greg went on to enjoy a long career as a Senior Telephony Engineering Expert both in Chicago, and more recently, Pittsburgh, PA.
Greg's interests were far ranging, extending from an exploration of the reaches of imagination as a voracious consumer of science fiction, to flinging himself out of perfectly good airplanes for the unique perspective that comes while gliding back to earth under a parachute's canopy. Greg was a talented painter with a keen eye for finding beauty in unexpected places and a fiercely loyal supporter of his family, his friends and his favorite teams - most notably, the Iowa Hawkeyes and Philadelphia Flyers. He was also an enthusiastic angler who cared less about whether the fish were biting than he did about the simple joy of the experience. We celebrate Greg's love for animals and involvement in animal rescue organizations, his love for engaging in debate and reflection on books, music and life, his quick and always good-natured wit, and the quiet, gentle manner in which he loved others and lived his life.
Greg leaves behind his parents, Ron and Dianna Moeller of Mason City, IA, his brother and sister-in-law, Michael and Patricia Moeller of Philadelphia, PA, his sister and brother-in-law, Jennifer and Stefan Gerhard of Menlo Park, CA, his niece and nephews - Alex, Nicholas, Andreas, Nat and Phoebe - who loved and cherished their "Uncle Egg," and his beloved rescue cat, Sascha
A celebration of life will be held for Greg at a later date in his hometown of Mason City. To any and all who loved Greg and wish to remember him, the family asks you to please support your local animal rescue programs and shelters.

It´s hard to believe it has been a year since we lost Greg. I think of him often and the encouragement he gave me in my dealings with a feral cat. He would be so happy to know that she finally came around and became a living cat.

Greg was a friend of mine during his time at U Penn (1988-91). Shocked to read this.

I will miss all of our conversations--we never fixed the world but it seemed we never ran out of things to talk about! Definitely Sasha and Pug-my dog were included in our talks. Of course your Hawkeyes and my Cyclones were also discussed at length! RIP my friend.

May God´s love surround you, during this difficult time. Our children grew up in a utopian
community, of love and fun filled days. When one passes we all grieve.
May Greg´s memory be eternal.

I am so sorry to hear about Greg. I worked with him at K&L Gates. We were just texting a couple weeks ago about cats. He loved Sascha so much and it was obvious that she loved him too. I will be praying for all of you.

Dear Mike & Family,
I was heartbroken when I saw Greg's obituary and his smiling, grown-up face in the lovely photo that ran with it. He will always be the little, beautiful boy we played football with on the side of your house on Lakewiew Drive in Mason City. The skinny little brother of Mike, who he looked up to so much and for so long. My heart goes out to Ron, Diana, Mike and Jennifer, and his nieces and nephews. The obituary was so lovingly written. It gave me an idea of what a wonderful man that little boy grew up to be. God bless "Uncle Egg" and the whole Moeller family.
Sincerely, MJ
