Dave was born August 27, 1963, in Lincoln, Nebraska to John Madden and Jan Weisbeck Madden. He married Cindy Mellema on August 2, 1986, in Rock Rapids, Iowa. Dave received his master’s degree in chemical engineering from the University of Wyoming, and he worked as a chemical engineer for petrochemical companies in Borger for over 35 years.

A dedicated and faithful member of Faith Covenant Church, Dave served and led in many capacities over his 20 years there. He served as Chairman of the Elders, church treasurer, Sunday school teacher, and leader of various home groups and Bible studies.

Dave was also very active in the community. He volunteered many years and acted as president of United Way, alumnus of Leadership Borger, and president of the Borger Bulldog Tennis Booster Club.

He enjoyed camping, backpacking, grilling and just being outdoors. Dave was an avid Kansas City Chiefs and Royals fan, and his dry wit and smile could lighten the mood in nearly any situation. Dave was a man of strong faith in his Lord Jesus Christ, and the gift of his family brought incredible joy to his life, especially hearing his grandchildren call him Papa.

He is preceded in death by his father, John Madden.
