Madson's sister Virginia Madson shared her feelings about her brother's death on social media:
"He is as fierce as thunder and as gentle as velvet. He is a naughty boy wrapped in tenderness, a poet disguised as a desperate. As a father, son, and brother, he is intertwined with contradictions, but is tempered by love, leaving an eternal mark.
What we mourn is not a public figure or a myth, but a life with flesh and blood and passionate heart.He once walked through the world with great magnitude and brilliance, and now what he left us is a rough, dazzling and unique echo - half a legend and half a lullaby.”
She continued: "I will miss our exclusive jokes, the sudden burst of laughter, and his voice. I will miss the boy before the legend was born, my brother."
"Thank you to all who have reached out with love and memories. In the future, we will share plans to commemorate his life, but at this moment, we snuggle up to each other and let silence express unspeakable feelings."
