In Loving Memory of Madison Annaleen Marsh, age 17 of Fowler, Colorado who passed away unexpectedly on May 27, 2024.
With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we bid farewell to our beloved Madison Annaleen Marsh, who was tragically taken from us far too soon. On May 27, 2024, the world lost a bright light, a compassionate soul, and a cherished daughter, sister, and friend. Madison was not just an ordinary teen; she was extraordinary in every sense. Her intelligence, athleticism, work ethic, and boundless kindness left a lasting mark on all who were fortunate enough to know her. Whether she was excelling in academics, hustling on the court/field, or lending a helping hand to anyone around, Madison embodied the epitome of excellence and generosity. Her involvement in numerous clubs, activities, and athletic teams was a testament to her vibrant spirit and unwavering dedication to making a difference in her community. As a mentor to her peers and young children alike, Madison inspired countless individuals to reach for the stars and never give up on their dreams. Her capacity to be a friend to all and an enemy to none was a rare and beautiful quality that touched the lives of everyone she encountered.
Madison held a special place in her heart for her family, whom she loved and admired beyond measure. She looked up to her parents for their tireless work ethic, drawing inspiration from their unwavering determination and resilience. Her siblings were not just her companions but her role models, motivating her to pursue excellence in both school and life. Madison’s love for farming was a passion that burned brightly within her. She often spoke of her dreams to work alongside her dad, brother, and sister in the fields. It was evident that she found true joy and fulfillment in the rhythm of farm life. Above all, Madison cherished her role as an aunt to her beloved nephew. The love she felt for him knew no bounds, and her adoration for him shone brightly in every smile and tender embrace they shared.
Though her time with us was far too brief, the impact Madison made during her time on Earth will continue to resonate for years to come. Her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew her, serving as a reminder of the power of love, kindness, and compassion. As we mourn the loss of Madison, let us also celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the profound legacy she leaves behind. May her spirit continue to guide and inspire us and may her light shine brightly in the heavens above. Forever in our hearts, Madison will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Rest in peace, sweet girl.
Madison is preceded in death by her grandparents Gene and Julia Moritz, grandfather Roy Marsh, special Aunt Kathy Crotinger who welcomed her with open arms in the loving embrace of eternity. She is survived by her parents Justin and Becky Marsh, her beloved siblings Mackynzie (Cannon) Buford, Austin Marsh, her cherished nephew Casynn Buford, Shaul (Shovel) Molina high school sweetheart, Grandmother Patricia Carter, and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends, who will forever hold her memory dear in their hearts.
