The family would like to thank everyone for their kindness and support at this difficult time.
Born and raised in Loch Gowna, Co. Cavan, Joe was the middle of seven children born to John and Mary Madden. He attended St. Patrick's National School, Loch Gowna, and Moyne Community School, Co. Longford. Before emigrating, Joe worked on the family farm, where he developed a lifelong love of horses, particularly ploughing with horses and breaking young horses.
At the age of 19, Joe emigrated to New York in search of new opportunities and it was there that he met the love of his life, Maura. They were married in 1988 at St. Philip Neri Church, Bronx, New York, and made their home in Yonkers, where they lovingly raised their two children, Joseph and Fiona.
Joe had a passion for travel and embraced every opportunity, from cruises throughout the Caribbean to treasured trips home to Ireland. His heart never left Co. Cavan, and he remained a devoted supporter of Gaelic games throughout his life. Above all, Joe cherished his family and was known as a devoted husband, loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, son and loyal friend.
In 2001, Joe and his family returned to Co. Cavan, where he fulfilled his dream of starting his own carpentry business. He spent 14 years working in Ireland before returning to the United States with his family. Upon his return, Joe became a proud member of Local 157 Carpenters Union and worked on projects at New York Law School in Brooklyn.
Joe will be remembered for his quiet nature, sharp wit and kind heart. He had a wonderful sense of humour, a strong work ethic and a genuine love for those around him. His warmth, generosity and unwavering devotion to his family left a lasting impression on everyone who had the privilege of knowing him.
