Jeff Moon

Jeffrey Marshall Moon, 61, of Ammon, passed away peacefully on September 27, 2026, in his home. He was under the care of Advanced Home Health and Hospice and his loving family.

Jeff was born November 3, 1964, in Ogden, Utah, to Douglas Marshall Moon and Beth Bodily Moon. He graduated from Layton High School where he was a phenomenal basketball, football, and baseball player whose talents frequently made the local paper. After high school, Jeff joined the Navy and served in the Naval Reserves for eight years. He then attended Utah State University where he graduated with a degree in community health. While at Utah State, Jeff fell in love with Julie Taylor, and they were married on February 3, 1989, in the Salt Lake City Temple in the middle of a memorable blizzard.

Jeff and Julie made their home in Idaho Falls, and then Ammon, where they raised their three children. Jeff made a career as a medical and respiratory sales representative. He formed friendships with local doctors and medical professionals who later took such loving care of him during his illness.

Jeff was an avid outdoorsman, but especially enjoyed bird hunting. His Deutsch Drahthaars were his pride and joy and he looked forward to hunting season every year. Jeff also loved golfing with friends and his wife; he scored a hole-in-one on October 16, 2020, at Pinecrest Golf Course. Jeff and Julie loved vacationing with their family and friends. He visited places all over the world, but especially loved road trips with his children--listening to music, taking funny pictures, and making memories.

Jeff was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served in many callings, but he especially enjoyed serving as a bishop in a Rexburg married student ward. Jeff enjoyed listening to Music and the Spoken Word each Sunday morning and “Consider the Lilies” was often sung throughout the house. He loved his Savior and relied heavily on his faith throughout his life.

Jeff is survived by his wife, Julie Moon of Ammon, ID; daughter, Aimee Moon of Idaho Falls, ID; daughter, Michelle Moon of Meridian, ID; son, Colton Moon of Idaho Falls, ID; brother, Troy (Michelle) Moon of Las Vegas, NV; brother, Lance (Julie) Moon of Plain City, UT; and sister, Kirsten (S. Curtis) Nye of Clinton, UT.

He was preceded in death by his parents and many loyal hunting dogs, who are so happy to hunt with their best friend again.

Funeral services will be held at 12:00 p.m. Friday, October 2, 2026, at Ammon 18th Ward, 4363 East 17th Street. The family will visit with friends Thursday from 6:30-8 p.m. at Wood Funeral Home East Side, 963 S. Ammon Road, and Friday from 11-11:45 a.m. prior to services at the church. Burial will be in the Ammon Cemetery.
