Born in Alexander City to Pam and David Argo, he attended Benjamin Russell High School where he participated in the band and wrestling programs that would shape the rest of his life. Madison went on to study music at Auburn University where he served as drum major in addition to holding many leadership positions within the Auburn Bands program. Madison loved all things Auburn and the friendships he made there would last over a decade and many moves. He was a beloved high school band director in Georgia and Texas and attended graduate school at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. Most recently he taught high school band at Wheeler High School in Marietta, GA. Madison's impact on the band world was immense and the community mourns the loss of such a champion for music.Madison's love of fitness began with high school wrestling and continued into young adulthood, where he coached and competed in CrossFit and many other athletic competitions. He leaves behind a large, close-knit fitness community where his absence will be truly felt.Madison was joyful, loving, and hilarious. He loved his Daddy, enjoying Sunday lunches with him regularly and calling to talk frequently. His faith in Christ held him up even through the toughest times. He hugged hard, laughed hard, and made everyone feel like the most important person in the room. Madison loved an adventure- he jumped at any chance to take a trip, whether to catch a baseball game, visit his sister overseas, or to work with the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Great American Marching Band. He loved his friends fiercely and spread light and love wherever he went.In lieu of flowers the family requests donations be made to any local high school band program.Radney Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Madison Argo
