Senator Mark Warner Announces Death of Daughter Madison at Age 36

Madison Warner, daughter of U.S. Senator Mark Warner of Virginia, has died at the age of 36 after a prolonged battle with juvenile diabetes and related health complications. The family revealed her passing on Monday, with Senator Warner and his wife, Lisa Collis, expressing their devastation in a statement shared publicly.

“We are heartbroken beyond words by the passing of our beloved daughter, Madison,” the couple said, describing her as a source of love and laughter whose absence leaves an “immeasurable void.”

Madison, one of three daughters, lived in Alexandria, Virginia, with her family. Senator Warner, who has served in the Senate since 2009 following his term as Virginia’s governor, has frequently cited his family's experiences as motivation for his legislative efforts on diabetes research and care. He has advocated in Congress for expanding access to affordable insulin and improving diabetes treatment options.

The family has asked for privacy as they grieve. Support from friends and loved ones has been acknowledged by Warner and Collis during this time.

No further details regarding the circumstances of Madison’s death have been made public. At present, the family is focused on privately mourning their loss.
