Curtis Alvin Madsen, age 86, of Greeley, Kansas, passed away on Sunday, June 13, 2021, at his home.

He was born April 23, 1935, in Minidoka, Idaho, the son of Alvin R. and Dora (Wheeler) Madsen. He graduated from Rupert High School in Minidoka, Idaho. Curtis graduated from Idaho State University in Pocatello, Idaho and became an electrical engineer for Thiokol, Inc. producing rocket boosters. In 1974, he owned and operated Logan Monument, in Logan, Utah.

Curtis loved to travel and elk hunt, also, going to auctions and junk yards; restoring and building cars, trucks, forklifts, and buses. He was raised as a blacksmith in the Family Blacksmith Shop helping his dad with his inventions, like a bean cutter which he sold to John Deere and it is still used by them.

He married Mercy Casias in 1955 and that union produced five children and ended in divorce in 1981. In 1985, he married Cassie Beaumont, mother of three, until the time of her death in 2009. He then married Jackie Finney, mother of ten, in 2010. Jackie was and still is his happily married wife at the time of his passing to his heavenly home.

Curtis was preceded in death by his parents, Alvin and Dora Madsen; and one brother, Budd Madsen.
