STANTON - Mike (Michael) Madison, 74 of Stanton, passed away peacefully on June 24, 2026, at Midland Memorial Hospital with his wife by his side. Memorial service was on July 18, at Lenorah Baptist Church.
Mike was born on March 24, 1952, in Big Spring, to Dick Madison and Nadine Cross. Mike spent most of his life working in the oil field until his retirement in 2019 after which he spent his time relaxing and not dealing with computers.
Mike exemplified the strongest work ethic throughout his life and dedicated himself to providing for his family. Taking a sick day was a foreign concept. He loved reading about everything guns to the point he knew the delivery schedule of certain magazines at the store. If you ever came to visit there was always a stack of magazines right next to his favorite chair. When he was not reading, he loved watching shows about WWII or Vietnam.
Mike’s faith was an important part of who he was, and his love of God guided the way he lived, loved, and cared for others. He trusted in the Lord’s presence and found strength, comfort, and peace through that faith. Above all else, Mike loved his family. They were the center of his life. He loved deeply and showed that, not only through his words, but through his actions every day. He was a man who led through example, demonstrating the importance of love, loyalty, kindness, and commitment. His family knew they were loved because he made sure, they always felt it.
Mike is survived by his loving wife of 52 years Judy Madison of Stanton; daughter Michelle Madison Steele and husband Greg of Abbott; son Michael Madison and wife Tina of Lexington; grandsons Luke Steele, Grant Steele, Jackson Steele, and Joseph Madison; granddaughter Rebekah Madison; sisters Barbera (Susie) Edmisten and Ginger Tunnell, and brothers Roy Madison and Bobby Holland.
He was preceded in death by his mother Nadine Cross, father Dick Madison, stepmother Jody Madison, and brother Bob Madison.
