Jeffrey C. Schmieg, 61, of Waterloo, died March 5, 2021, at de Greeff Hospice House. 

Jeff was born Dec. 14, 1959, in St. Louis and moved with his family to Waterloo at 3 years old, where he lived the rest of his life.

He was a member of Ss. Peter & Paul and graduated from Gibault High School. Jeff was a fun and generous man. A gentle giant. He was witty, loved to read, and enjoyed trivia. Jeff followed in his fathers footsteps working at Cerro Flo Products for 42 years, something he was very proud.

He is survived by his sisters Linda (Jim) Bader, Donna (Tom) Moye, Becky (Bill) Byington, and Patti Akande; aunts Fern (Fred) Kinzinger and Charlene Waligorski; nieces and nephew Becky (John) Dickneite, Aimee (Steve) Skundrich, Amanda (Adam) Morgan, Jason (Paula) Byington and Madison Schmieg; cousins; and great nephews James, Noah, Vincent, Colin, Donovan and Finnegan.

Jeff is preceded in death by his parents Clinton C. and La Verne (nee Thornton) Schmieg.

No services will be held.

As an expression of sympathy the family prefers memorial contributions to de Greeff Hospice House.
