Sen. Mark Warner (D) and his wife, Lisa Collis, shared today (Monday) that their daughter Madison Warner has died.
The 36-year-old died after decades of battling juvenile diabetes and other health issues, according to their statement.
“She filled our lives with love and laughter, and her absence leaves an immeasurable void,” the senator and his wife said in the statement. “We are grateful for the loving support of friends and family during this difficult time and ask for privacy as we navigate this profound loss.”
Warner and his wife, who live in Old Town Alexandria, have two other daughters along with Madison as well as two grandchildren.
Officials shared condolences with Warner and his family.
“My deepest condolences are with the Warner family as Mark and Lisa mourn their beloved daughter and Gillian and Eliza mourn their sister, Madison,” Gov. Abigail Spanberger (D) said on X. “Adam and I are holding them all in our hearts and prayers during this time of great loss.”
Former Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R) also shared a statement: “Suzanne and I are praying for Lisa and Mark Warner and their family today after the loss of their daughter, Madison. Our prayers are with them on this most difficult of all days.”
Sen. Tim Kaine (D), who serves alongside Warner in the Senate, said “nothing in the world has ever mattered more to them than their daughters.”
“We met Madison when she was ten years old and have so many wonderful memories of time together with her,” Kaine said. “We are keeping the entire Warner family and all who knew and loved Madison in our prayers as they grieve this terrible loss.”
