The Madison Family bows in humble submission to the will of God on the passing of our beloved son, father and brother, Mr. Michael LaVaughn Madison. He passed away on Saturday, January 9, 2021. Michael was born on July 25, 1971 in Saginaw, Michigan. He was the youngest of eight children. Michael graduated from Nouvel Catholic Central High School “Class of 1987” at the age of 15. He went on to pursue a career in the United States Army, retiring in 2016, with full honors. He was a dedicated soldier extremely proud and honored to have faithfully served his country. Besides his family, the absolute passion of Michael’s life was music. You would never be around him and not hear music playing. He could name any song and what year it was made, a true music aficionado. Michael “lived his best life” DAILY, displaying love and generosity at every turn. He touched many lives in his 49 years. Michael was a die-hard University of Michigan fan and the absolute heart and rhythm of our family…there are simply no words to express how much his presence will be missed.
