Gordon Lee Madlon

1955-2021

Gordon Lee Madlon, 65 of Jump River, died on Saturday, Jan. 16, 2021 at Aspirus Wausau Hospital. A private family service will be held at a later date.

He was born on Mar. 25, 1955 to the late Leo and Edna (Couillard) Madlon. Gordon grew up in the area and on Dec. 14, 1974 he was united in marriage to Veronica Kennedy at St. Augustine’s Catholic Church in Ingram. Gord was a farmer most of his life. The couple milked cows with his parents for 13 years, then ran beef on their own place.

Gord was a man with a large heart who enjoyed being with his family, his animals, and was kind to all. He was one to always help others in need if it was within his abilities no matter the challenges. Gord was a fighter who would work through any challenge no matter how great to find a solution or work around. He loved to be out in the woods or out in the fields. Gord loved his comedy and having fun with those around him. He was always doing something, whether enjoying his cup of tea, Pepsi, or an occasional beer, taking care of his animals, or out fixing something. He enjoyed snowmobiling and riding the wheelers.

He is survived by his wife of 46 years, Veronica, “Roni” Madlon; his children, Sherry Madlon of Middleton and Jesse (Lena) Madlon of Glen Flora; three grandchildren; his siblings, Gregg (Lynn Kendall) Madlon of Glen Flora, Cynthia (John) Prasnicky and Joel Madlon of Jump River, and Randy (Loralee) Madlon of Lublin; and many nieces and nephews. Gord will be missed deeply by all he knew, especially his family.

Gordon was preceded in death by his parents; his sisters, Sharon and Jeanette; and a grandchild, Kenneth Howland.

Plombon Funeral Service assisted the family with arrangements.
