Virginia Senator Mark Warner announced the death of his daughter Madison, who was 36 years old.

Family's Heartfelt Statement

In a statement shared on Instagram, Warner and his wife Lisa Collis expressed their heartbreak over Madison's passing after her long battle with juvenile diabetes and other health issues. They described her life as full of love and laughter and mentioned feeling an immeasurable void in her absence.

The family also thanked friends and family for their support during this difficult time and requested privacy as they grieve.

Condolences from Politicians

Many politicians sent condolences to the Warner family. Vice President JD Vance offered prayers through X, expressing sorrow for such a loss at a young age. Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger extended sympathies to the entire Warner family via X as well.

Senator Tim Kaine shared fond memories of Madison, emphasizing the deep love Warner and Collis had for their daughters. He prayed for comfort for all who knew Madison during this tragic time.
