Benjamin Robert Madden

Benjamin Robert Madden left this world unexpectedly, Tuesday, June 30th 2015. Ben was born October 21, 1988 and completed the family of Philip and Lou Ann Madden. Raised in a loving home with his big sister Jen and older brother Ryan, his childhood was spent playing football and hockey, mastering the art of video gaming, and he had a deep admiration for Steve Irwin in sharing his passion for animals. As he grew into a man, he met and fell in love with his wife Allyson Johnson. They soon married and he was welcomed into the family of David and Kathleen Johnson. Lucky for him he acquired another sister Paige, and two little brothers Luke and Levi... and shared memories of another brother Reed who left this world before him. Soon after followed the joyful births of his three children, Rachel (6), Kaylynn (5) and Decker (2). Ben was fortunate to be a stay at home dad for three years and later returned to Best Buy where he had work previously for several years. Ben loved being around his entire family, both the Maddens and the Johnsons. Many summer vacations were spent at various reunions around the United States. Ryan Madden, Kyle Madden, Mike Madden and Jake Madden were some he admired and respected most and spent many hours with both Ryan and Jake gaming through the internet. He also shared a love of banana, rootbeer and blue raspberry popcicles with his niece Tira. His Sundays in the fall were spent watching his beloved Broncos. As his children and he would say, "Sundays are for Jesus and football!" Above all he loved his children and will always be remembered as a kind, loving, and very entertaining individual. He is now being held in the loving arms of his brother Reed Johnson, cousin Laura Madden, uncles Chuck and John Madden, grandparents Virginia and George Madden and Clyde and Janice Klinger. Until our paths cross again Ben we will always keep your memory alive in our minds and hearts, and remind your children often how much you loved them. Ben is survived by his wife Allyson Johnson Madden, and children Rachel, Kaylynn and Decker. His Parents Phil Madden and Lou Ann Madden (Boyd Benedict) and Dave and Kathleen Johnson. Brother Ryan Madden, Jess, Josie and Oliver. Sister Jennifer Braughton, Curtis and Tira. Sister Paige Johnson Feneis and Joel. Brothers Luke and Levi Johnson. Grandparent Pam Smith and Clyde and Bernice Johnson. And many cousins, uncles, aunts and extended family. A Celebration of Ben's life will be 11:00am Tuesday July 7, 2015 at Emmanuel Baptist Church in Billings
