Michael Fraser Madden
February 9, 1938 - May 2, 2021 Lafayette resident

Mike Madden passed away after a long and courageous battle with lung cancer. A beloved husband, father, stepfather, and grandfather, he will be dearly missed.
Born in Omaha, Nebraska to Mary Fraser and Joseph Hayden Madden, Mike was the youngest of three children. His parents, brother Joseph, and sister Mary Lou predeceased him.
After a childhood in the Midwest, Mike graduated from the University of Colorado in 1962 with a degree in civil engineering. He worked in that field for well over 40 years for a number of engineering companies.
After his first marriage ended, Mike's mother suggested he ask Linda Patrick on a date, beginning a loving partnership that lasted until his death. Mike and Linda married in Denver and subsequently moved to California when Mike accepted a position in the Bay Area. They settled in Lafayette, where their home of the last 30 years became a welcoming place for friends and family.
After Mike retired, volunteering became a large part of his life. He was a math tutor at the Bay Area Rescue Mission, and he drove a bus for Lamorinda Senior Services. When not volunteering, he was hitting a tennis or golf ball. Mike loved hiking and camping, and annual trips to Colorado for family and skiing. He was a huge fan of the Golden State Warriors and St. Mary's College basketball.
Mike is survived by his wife Linda, son Sean Madden and wife Anita, son Brian Madden, daughter Erin Madden, daughter Colleen Tescher, stepdaughter Meghan Cobb and husband Gene, and 13 grandchildren.
Donations in Mike's memory may be made to the Bay Area Rescue Mission in Richmond, California.
