Jordana Ash posted December 25, 2021 Here's a video from the hilltop where the launch took place. It gives a little flavor of the experience we all had. We love you, Maddy. Forever.

Oliver Lignell posted on Sep 11, 2025 Jordana and I headed north on Broadway early Saturday morning on August 16th to join Junior Ranger staff and community volunteers for our 2025 service project to honor Maddy. We knew some of Maddy’s and our friends would be there, but we weren’t sure how many people would actually show up. And, even though we generally knew the area we would be working in and what we would be doing, we didn’t know the specifics. Jordana and Oliver getting

Oliver Lignell posted on Jun 23, 2025 But I didn’t know you had a top brand blender. For fruit smoothies or maybe, even, margaritas? For company in your apartment, sweet and luscious? Or just yourself, to make it through the loneliness of lockdown? I didn’t know about your climbing gym membership Or your two pairs of climbing shoes, your harness, and all that rope. I didn’t know you had professionally framed your photos from those trips; Catalina, Yosemite, the Pinnacles. Or

Oliver Lignell posted on Jun 23, 2025 Another year? How can this possibly be? How can Maddy’s death, the experience that tore at the fabric of our family, that clawed at our reality and tested the limits of our suffering have happened 4 years ago, in the early dawning hours of a new day that was supposed to be shaped by hope and health? How is it that time is warped in such a way that 4 endless years, 1,460 excruciating days of sorrow have passed while equally, this rending i

Oliver Lignell posted on May 28, 2025 One of the amazing connections and opportunities to share Maddy’s life and what we learned came out of the Convening held in July 2024. Dr. Igor Galynker, one of the experts who presented his theory of the Narrative Crisis Model and Suicide Crisis Syndrome, asked if I would consider presenting at the 2025 American Psychiatric Association conference in Los Angeles in May 2025. He had been developing a proposal for a unique session with fat

Oliver Lignell posted on Jun 02, 2025 We're humbled to finally be sharing with you the report put together by Healthier Colorado after the convening we had last year, in honor of Maddy. The report, which you can access here: Issue Paper on Acute Suicidality: An Urgent Need for Systemic Change, sheds light on the rapid onset of sudden suicide crises and gives recommendations for things people can do right now to better anticipate and respond to these critical events.

Oliver Lignell posted on Apr 28, 2024 As I reflect on our gathering last August, I recall the following thoughts that Hanna shared below about her beloved brother, Maddy. I love my brother every time he determinedly stayed up to gently wiggle his toes across to my side of the bed, to enrage his big sister in the exact right way And I love my brother years later when we slept in the same bed, this time divided by a body pillow, when I flew to LA after our brilliant grandma Sun

Jordana Ash posted on Jun 02, 2024 Hot feet in heavy boots, Adhering to a path with no destination in mind Crumbling treacherous footing yet eyes drawn to the ocean. Up and up and up Above the coast and hills, Peace comes, illuminated by the distant bright mirror of the water. Sandy coasts bend into the soft, heavy ocean air. The photos are of Cuesta Ridge, 2017. Photo cred to Gina Ghiglieri, who loves Maddy, too. ------------------------------------------------------Comments

Victoria Tonikian posted on Nov 03, 2024 Maddy and my path in life only crossed for a brief few months many years ago but the impact he made on me lives in my heart forever. He was a bright light and someone that showed me kindness, courage and bravery in a time when I so desperately needed it. I’m grateful for the time we spent sharing our love of sour beers, climbing, watching movies, and exploring Montana de Oro. This year, I was grateful to honor him on my Dia de los Muer

Oliver Lignell posted on Apr 28, 2024 Today, I sit in the family condo that Maddy loved so much. It's in the mountains up near the continental divide. It's snowing hard. I'm reminded of the last time Jordana and I were up here with him. We had rented cross country skis and skied down by Lake Dillon as a family and then, later, Maddy and I went out and skied in the backcountry behind our condo. Neither of us were very good cross-country skiers, but we had so much fun together.
