Jeffery Linn Glaw, age 63, of Keosauqua, Iowa, and formerly of Parkersburg, Iowa, died Wednesday, September 3, 2025, at his home.
Jeff was born on July 2, 1962, in Waterloo, Iowa, the son of Norman Glaw and Karon (Johnson) Dobbs (formerly Glaw). He was raised in Waterloo and Parkersburg, graduating from the Aplington-Parkersburg High School in 1980. He then attended Wartburg College in Waverly, where he played football and field events (discus), graduating in 1984. In 1988, Jeff was united in marriage to Angela Helle, and from the union came two daughters. His entire life he worked as a wildlife management biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, at various locations but most recently in Keosauqua.
Jeff had a profound passion for the outdoors, fishing, wood working, and spending time with his family, especially watching his grandson play football, fish in tournaments, shoot archery, and watching his granddaughter grow up. Jeff was inducted into the Wartburg College Hall of Fame in 2004, and held the men's discus record until 2015. He was also a member of the Iowa Wildlife Foundation, and actively participated in various other conservation groups.
Jeff's memory is honored by: two daughters, Ashley Glaw of Cedar Rapids and Sarah (Kevin) Glaw-Sorensen of Cedar Rapids; grandchildren, Sawyer and Ivy; parents, Norman (Janet) Glaw of Sumner and Karon (Howard) Dobbs of Waterloo; former wife, Angela Glaw of Cedar Rapids; and a brother, Todd (Rhonda) Glaw of Waterloo. He was preceded in death by a brother, Greg Glaw.
A celebration of life service will be held on Friday, September 12 at 11 a.m. at Waterloo Memorial Park Cemetery Chapel in Waterloo. Burial of his ashes will follow.

I am sorry to hear of Jeff´s passing. I´m met Jeff while I was learning about the area around Lake Sugema. He was such a great person with tons of knowledge about the outdoors. He always had time to talk to people and teach them about the area. I will miss the talks we had about the area he cared so much about. Rest in peace Jeff and thank you for being a great person.
