In 2013, Jerry went on his own full time with Moeller Construction.

Jerry and Amanda owned and operated J Moeller Construction. He continued with cement work over the years. You would often find him and his family working on projects together. Jerry took great pride in his work, especially his cabinetry work. Jerry was a hard worker, very talented and a perfectionist for cement, cabinetry and carpentry work, paying close attention to details and the finished product. He treated each customer's project as if he was working on his own. Jerry cherished the friendships developed with his customers.

He was a loving husband, spending a total of 34 years with Amanda. Jerry was a proud father of his daughter Kourtney. Family was everything to him. He enjoyed sports and racing, but particularly NASCAR, Sprint Car Racing and was an avid fan of the Iowa Hawkeyes.
