Obituary
Mark James Madson “Maddy” was born on September 3, 1958, in Hutchinson, Minnesota. He was the son of James and Alice (Dachel) Madson. Mark was baptized as an infant and later confirmed as a youth in the Catholic faith. He received his education in Hutchinson and was a graduate of the Hutchinson High School Class of 1977. He participated in baseball, football and wrestling.
On July 26, 1991, Mark was united in marriage to Mary Ann (Nowak) Piehl in Glencoe, Minnesota. They resided in Hutchinson. Mark and Mary shared 32 years of marriage.
Mark was employed as a Fork Lift Operator for 3M. He retired on February 1, 2014. For a few years after his retirement from 3M, Mark worked for the City of Hutchinson mowing lawns around the city. He was a member of St. Anastasia Catholic Church in Hutchinson.
In his younger years, Mark enjoyed spending time at his parent’s house on Lake Washington and driving his blue speedboat. Mark enjoyed motorcycle riding, golfing, playing pickleball and tennis and cooking meat on his smoker. After retirement, Mark and Mary wintered in Mesa, AZ (his happy place). He loved spending time with his family and friends, especially attending the grandchildren’s sporting events.
Maddy will be missed for his good nature and his jolly laugh. When Maddy laughed, everyone laughed.

Jolene (Jo) Larson Reck says
Dear Mary, Alice, and Marl’s family~
I am deeply sorry for the death of Mark. What a shock it was to read his name. Not living in Hutchinson any longer I haven’t seen either of you in a very long time, but I do remember what a nice person he always was, and what a good family he was raised in. I hope that all the wonderful times you shared together will fill you with memories that, although they will be sad for a a long time, they will fill you with joy eventually and help to keep his precious memory alive forever. We all know that death is a part of life, but none of us is ever ready for it when it happens, especially to someone so young yet. I pray our God will grant you peace and comfort in the days and weeks ahead as you navigate his absence…
Donald Nelson says
