Tony Madrid Obituary
Tony Madrid, 66, of La Junta, Colorado peacefully passed away Monday, July 7, 2025, at Joni Fair Hospice House in Pueblo, Colorado surrounded by his loving family. He was born July 5, 1959, in La Junta to Florencio & Maria (Maez) Madrid.
Tony was a hardworking man, who lived everyday as a task to do something productive. As an avid Seahawk's fan, he was sure to watch every game and loved them even when they lost. A protector and a caring husband, father, and grandpo that anyone can ask for and who loved his family with his whole heart. A gentle soul who treated our pets as members of the family. A well-known member of the community, he was a proud supporter of all La Junta sports and you would rarely see him without his baseball hat. Our heartfelt thanks to those who expressed their condolences for a great man! We would like to share our gratitude to the staff at Sangre de Cristo Community Care-Joni Fair Hospice House. You made him comfortable so he can leave this world in peace.
Tony is survived by his wife of 44 years, Rosalie Annette Madrid of the La Junta home; children, Jennifer Madrid of La Junta, CO; Jessica Madrid of Castle Rock, CO; Justine Madrid of La Junta, CO; and Jordyn (Orlando Sanchez) Madrid of La Junta, CO; grandson, Edward Anthony Sanchez; parents, Florencio & Maria Madrid of La Junta, CO; sister, Elizabeth “Becky” (Tal) Morton of Spring, TX; numerous nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members also survive. He is preceded in death by his grandparents; his mother & father-in-law, Joe A. & Eloisa Romero; and his grand-cats & grand-dog, Cinnamon.
Memorial Service will be held Thursday, July 24, 2025, at Peacock Memorial Chapel in La Junta, Colorado with Father Joseph Matitu of Our Lady of Guadalupe/St. Patrick Parish officiating, along with Joe Romero.
Those wishing to do so, may make a memorial donation in Tony's name to Sangre De Cristo Hospice.
