He will always be remembered as being quick with a smile, a joke, and a bad pun. He refused to leave until he was able to see his revered OU Sooners kick the longhorns one final time. We will miss his big laugh. John was preceded in death by his parents, Samuel David and Pearl Winter. He is survived by his wife, Joann; his daughter and son-in-law, Elyse and Mark Clarkson; his son and daughter-in-law, David Winter and Lee Golden; his son, Scott Winter; and his grandchildren, Aaron and Hannah Winter.

He was born in Ottawa, Kansas on January 27, 1959. In 1967 his family moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico where Eric learned to love the mountains, skiing and trout fly fishing. In 1978, Eric took a bicycling and hiking trip to Kauai before leaving for college, and Kauai always remained a very special place for him. He received his Bachelor of Science in Geophysics in 1982 from New Mexico Institute of Mining & Technology. He received a Master of Science in Geophysics from the University of Texas at Dallas in 1990. Eric began his career when he joined McElvain Oil & Gas as a Petroleum Geophysicist after receiving his bachelor degree. In 1987 he went to work for the University of Texas in Dallas researching polarization filters for multi-component seismic data. After receiving his M.S. in 1990, he joined Oryx Energy Company as a prospect geophysicist developing exploration plays and high grading drilling locations by using shear wave surveys and fracture modeling. In 1997 he joined PGS as a Senior Geophysicist processing multi-component surveys. Eric Madtson was a pioneer in multi-component data processing, a method of using shear wave propagation in the Earth to determine rock properties for oil exploration. While at PGS he developed several methods of processing multi-component data and has co-authored several papers on the subject. He is the first inventor of US patent #6061298 "Method of Processing Multi-Component Seismic Data". Eric was open with his enthusiasm for the subject of multi-component processing which inevitably spread to his coworkers and clients. Eric and Arlene met in Santa Fe, NM on May 2, 1986. They married
on a beach in Kauai on May 22, 1991. Their meeting day so cherished was celebrated year after year. Eric and Arlene were married
sixteen years. Eric was an awesome father! Two of the best days of his life were when Alex and Zoe were born. Alex, ten years old, and Zoe, six years old, were the loves of his life. He so wanted to live, to have longevity, to continue experiencing their beauty and intelligence and see them thriving in their lives. He touched the lives of many children and parents through coaching soccer with FFPS and serving as an active Cub Scout Den Leader in Katy, TX. Eric gave all of us strength and courage from his inner being. This core fiber and resolve carried him over and through the ups and downs life offered. He grew from a gentle, tender-hearted child to a tender-hearted man of great quiet courage and strength, never needing to use his quick intelligence or his tall stature to intimidate or diminish. Eric saw life as a series of challenges to be attacked and often won with optimism and determination, and for these past years, months, and days he gave those who love him the gift of happiness. We will miss him always. The Madtson family acknowledges with heartfelt gratitude and thanks all the doctors, nurses and staff at MD Anderson Cancer Center who treated and aided Eric. Eric's Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be Monday, October 15, 2007 at 1:00 p.m. First United Methodist Church, 5601 Fifth Street, Katy, TX 77493.
