Michael "Nutster" D. Noe, 63, of Rowley, Iowa, died Thursday, Dec. 23, 2021, at MercyOne Medical Center in Waterloo, Iowa.

Michael was born on Aug. 7, 1958, in Freeport, Ill., to Roger D. and Helen L. (Diehl) Noe. At the age of 2, he moved with his family to Garrison, and in 1972 the family started farming near Rowley. He was a 1976 graduate of the Independence High School. Following his graduation, he became employed with Griffith

Construction in Rowley. On April 9, 1977, he married Julie L. Miller in Immanuel Lutheran Church, Independence, and the couple made their home near Rowley.

From 2015 until currently he was driving for FedEx out of Urbana, Iowa.

"Nutster" as his family and friends called him, loved going to farm auctions, and spending time with his boys and their friends, camping with family and friends and three and four wheeling. He loved to spoil his grandchildren by giving them gator rides and eating Oreo cookies in the camper calling it "Quilting Meetings" while all the time teaching them many lessons over the years like "Don't Lie." He was an avid goat and cat (all named Jimmy) farmer, which his grandbabies loved to help him with.

He was a Christian man reading the bible daily and was a member of the Quasqueton Union Church.
