Brandon Lee Madden

Brandon Lee Madden was born on November 1, 1985, in Pocatello, Idaho, and passed away on April 3, 2026.

At the age of eight, Lee Madden became Brandon’s father, mentor, and best friend. From that moment on, Brandon was rarely far from Lee’s side—whether working on vehicles, riding along on the road, or learning the value of hard work and dedication. Brandon grew up alongside his siblings, Amanda and Nick, forming an unbreakable bond rooted in shared adventures, laughter, and the occasional mischief. Together with Lee, they spent countless hours racing cars at the local track and sharing a love for motorcycles—memories that would stay with Brandon for life.

In 2003, Brandon married his high school sweetheart, Angel Adams. Though their marriage did not last, they remained close friends and, together, raised four children: Dillan, Kaitlynn, Tyson, and Ethan. Brandon continued to focus on his work and on creating meaningful, lasting memories with the many people he loved.

In 2015, Brandon met Marissa—the one person who would change his life in ways no one could have imagined. Together for 11 years, they balanced each other and built a life full of love, strength, and understanding. Brandon continued working alongside Lee until 2021, when the family business was sold. Over the years, he also worked in gravel pits, mechanic shops, excavation, and operating heavy equipment—always taking pride in his work. Brandon also had a creative and artistic side, finding ways to express himself through the things he built, fixed, and the passions he shared with others.

Above all else, Brandon loved being a father. To his children—Dillan (21), Kaitlynn (18), Tyson (16), Ethan (14), and Emerald (11)—he was everything. They shared a love for camping, tow trucking, working on mechanics, video gaming, RC cars, and simply being goofy together. No matter the hobby Brandon picked up, his kids were always right there beside him, ready to learn, laugh, and make memories.

Brandon is survived by his loving wife, Marissa, and their daughter Emerald; his former wife, Angel Adams, and their children Dillan, Kaitlynn, Tyson, and Ethan; his brother, Nick; father Lee Madden; his nieces and nephews; his in-laws; and many extended family members and dear friends who meant the world to him.

He was preceded in death by his sister, Amanda; his nephew, Jorden; his grandfathers, Hudson and Denny; and his in-law, Tracy Adam.

Brandon will be remembered for how fiercely he fought for his family, his kindness, and his unforgettable sense of humor. It’s often said he might have been a unicorn—a rare and beautiful soul—reflecting just how unique and special he truly was. His strength, resilience, and determination to persevere through anything added to the many layers that made him who he was.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
