Virginia Madsen, the brother of Michael Madsen, mourned the loss of the actor. "My brother Michael has left the stage," Virginia wrote in a statement to Variety. "He was thunder and velvet. Mischief wrapped in tenderness. A poet disguised as an outlaw. A father, a son, a brother -- etched in contradiction, tempered by love that left its mark. We're not mourning a public figure. We're not mourning a myth -- but flesh and blood and ferocious heart. Who stormed through life loud, brilliant, and half on fire. Who leaves us echoes -- gruff, brilliant, unrepeatable -- half legend, half lullaby," continued Vigrinia as quoted by Variety. While concluding her emotional message, Virginia wrote, "I'll miss our inside jokes, the sudden laughter, the sound of him. I'll miss the boy he was before the legend; I miss my big brother. Thank you to everyone reaching out with love and memory. In time, we'll share how we plan to celebrate his life -- but for now, we stay close, and let the silence say what words can't," as quoted by Variety. The Kill Bill actor was born on September 25, 1957, in Chicago to Elaine, a filmmaker and author, and Calvin Christian Madsen, a firefighter. His siblings include Cheryl Madsen and Oscar-nominated actress Virginia Madsen. Off screen, Madsen was also a published poet, with several collections to his name, including Burning in Paradise, Expecting Rain and his forthcoming book, Tears for My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems.
