Michael L. Madden RACINE- Michael Madden, 49, passed away February 12, 2013 with his family at his side. Like paint on a canvas, Michael left an impression that colored the world of those around him. Michael was born on August 9, 1963 to Patrick and Shirley (Passehl) Madden. Mike attended Park High School. At age 13, Mike painted a neighbor’s garage and found his path in life. Shortly after high school, he started his own painting / remodeling business. He was so proud of his work and enjoyed creating beautiful spaces. Towards the end of his life, Michael and his father worked side-by-side. Michael enjoyed fishing, boating, playing cribbage and a good steak! Michael is survived by his parents Patrick and Shirley; his sisters Patti (Chuck) Griffiths and Kelly (Frank) Tempesta; nephews Andrew (Tracy), Matthew and Patrick (Deana) Griffiths; Jack and Adam Tempesta. He is further survived by relatives and many dear friends. Please join the family to celebrate Mike’s life. Visitation will be held at St Paul The Apostle Catholic Church on Monday, February 18th from 9am-11am with a Mass of Christian Burial to follow at 11:00 am.
