The last text message actor Michael Madsen of Reservoir Dogs got from his son said, “I love you dad,” and nothing more.

The son of a well-known Hollywood actor, Hudson Madsen, 26, shot himself in the head, according to his father, following his first tour as a U.S. Army Sergeant stationed in Hawaii.

“I am in shock as my son, whom I just spoke with a few days ago, said he was happy—my last text from him was ‘I love you dad,’” Kill Bill franchise star Madsen revealed to the LA Times.

“I didn’t notice any signs of depression. It is really dreadful and awful. “I’m just trying to make sense of it and comprehend what happened,” he continued.

Quentin Tarantino served as Hudson’s godfather. Hudson was the eldest child of Madsen and his wife DeAnna Madsen. The brothers Luke and Kalvin were the next oldest children. Madsen’s previous wife, Jeannine Bisignano, gave birth to two additional boys, Max and Christian.

He married Carlie in 2019, and she shared positive comments about their relationship on social media. Carlie’s social media profiles show that the pair considered IVF after failing to conceive naturally.

Carlie shared on Instagram a selfie of herself in a hospital gown, tagging it with the information that she had recently had tumor removal, just a week before he passed away on January 22, 2022.
