Douglas Keith Madden, 57, of Stafford passed away unexpectedly on February 11, 2020 in North Carolina.
He was a devoted husband and father. Douglas was the funniest person you could ever meet. To know him was to have a lifelong friend someone you could always count on. He served in the US Army for 22 years. During that time he served as a president’s escort in the Old Guard, was an instructor at West Point, served at Palm Circle in Honolulu, HI; and was deployed across the globe, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Kosovo, and Haiti. Douglas was incredibly skilled and inventive, and constantly working on projects around the house and cabin.
Survivors include his wife, Diane Madden; his children, Drew Madden (Jennifer), Hunter Madden, and Matty Madden; his siblings, Connie Truslow (Joseph), Gail Cheatham (Richard), Linda DeCamp (Amy), and Lori Madden Samples. Other survivors include Beth Ann, Joy, Brian, Jodie, Winston, Wesley, and Katie; and his loved dogs, Scout, Jem, and Boo Radley.
Douglas was preceded in death by his mother, Eulalia Madden; his dad, Clinton Madden; and his brother, Darrell Madden.
A service will be held at 11 A.M. on Friday, February 21 at Covenant Funeral Service of Stafford.
Interment will follow in Quantico National Cemetery. There will be a reception held after the interment.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Stafford Food Security Inc. in his honor.
