Jeff Nagle, 67, of Dubuque, died Thursday, September 25, 2025, at UnityPoint Health-St. Luke's Hospital in Cedar Rapids.

Per Jeff's wishes, there will be no formal services. Burial will be at Chapel Hill Cemetery in Freeport, Illinois.

Jeff was born on November 25, 1957, the son of Robert and Betty Nagle.

Jeff was the owner of Wheeler Dealer magazine, making it the first car magazine ever made.

To say Jeff loved golf would be an understatement. A proud member of The Meadows Golf Club, he attended 57 Masters tournaments in a row and built an impressive collection of golf memorabilia. Beyond the greens, Jeff was also a member of the Dubuque Shooting Society, 660 Club, and he enjoyed traveling wherever life's adventures took him.

Survivors include his step-father, Al Cordes of Dubuque; and good friend, Newel Marcov of Dubuque.

Jeff was preceded in death by his parents; and two brothers, Bob and David.

The family would like to extend a special Thank You to St. Luke's Hospital and hospice in Cedar Rapids for their compassionate care.
