All of us at the Bexley Historical Society mourn the loss of our devoted friend and trustee, David Madison. David was committed to service and community throughout his life, serving as a member of Bexley City Council, as a trustee with the Bexley Historical Society, and as Bexley’s Mayor for 32 years. He gave his all to his family and to organizations and charities he wanted to see succeed. Whether raising funds for Charity Newsies or rolling up his sleeves to help families in need, he never stopped aiming to make his community, and those in it, the best they could be.

His absence from us has left a void that will be very difficult to fill. Our hearts and condolences go out to all who knew David, especially to everyone in the Madison family. David was positivity personified, and his light and ever-present contagious smile will be forever missed.
