Jose Antonio Madera, age 72, of Tinley Park passed away May 4, 2025.
Beloved husband of Senaida (nee Cosio) Madera; loving father of Osbaldo (Andrea Gomez) Madera, Daysi (Alejandro Carrera) Madera, and Jose (Cynthia) Madera; proud grandfather Jose Luis Carrera, Angel Carrera, Axel Carrera, Jazmin Madera, Osbaldo Madera Jr, Giovanni Madera, and Deylani Madera; brother, uncle, and friend to many.
Jose had a deep love for music, which played a meaningful role throughout his life. He found joy in coaching, playing, and watching baseball-a passion he readily shared with others. Known for his generous spirit, Jose was always there to lend a hand to a friend in need. More than anything, he cherished the time spent with his grandchildren, who were the light of his life.
