Rock Madden '77

Rock Thomas Madden, age 65, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on November 23, 2023. Beloved son of Claire Ann Madden and the late Robert Joseph Madden. Husband of Maris (Pope), brother of Bob (Patti), Bill (Cindy), Chris (Chrisy), John (Anne), and Ann (Chris Thoms) Madden. Cherished Uncle to many nieces, nephews; also numerous cousins and friends. Rock attended St Francis High School in Wheaton, IL. True to his pugnacious nature he starred in numerous sports: football, boxing, wrestling and track. He was a graduate of both Outward Bound and National Outdoor Leadership School. He graduated from St Xavier University of Cincinnati, OH. Upon returning to the Chicagoland area, he started a number of career paths but settled on creating his own enterprise called Power Clean. As anyone who called his home phone number you would be greeted by a booming voice “POWER CLEAN!“. Rock was a generous soul who loved nature, boating, dogs and all kinds of animals to include the elusive Sasquatch.
