Jeffrey Kunert, 71, of Des Moines, IA, passed away on August 8, 2022 in Fort Myers, FL.

Jeff was born in Fort Dodge, IA to Chuck and Marjorie Kunert on February 12. He married Teresa on April 23, 1984 in Griffith, IN. He worked as a salesman for Roseway Trucking Co, Werner Enterprises and Melton Truck lines. He served as a Marine in the Vietnam War. His favorite license was his pilot’s license.

Jeff is preceded in death by his parents Chuck and Marjorie Kunert and his brother Randy Kunert.

Jeff is survived by his wife Teresa, his daughters Jillyn Dillon and Tina Apt, his brother Fred Kunert (Mary), his grand daughters Allison and Ashley Goodale, his great granddaughter Laura Rose and all of his nieces and nephews.

Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting and spending any time with Jeff is better for knowing him. He lived every moment of his life as large as his personality. He knew no stranger, he would walk Missi and stop to get to know the neighbors. He loved his video games and slot machines. No matter what was happening to his body, he worked hard to continue to do what he could. His beautiful blue eyes and his wonderful laugh will be missed! (“I love you forever!”)

A memorial will be held in his honor at a later date. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local animal shelter in Jeff’s name.
