donlin.ariel posted on Oct 27, 2023 I knew Maddy only briefly during the summer of 2020 in LA. He was kind and genuine and thoughtful and fun to be around. I've been thinking about him lately and was deeply saddened to learn of his passing when I looked him up to try to reconnect. I wish I'd had a chance to know him better and build community together. I'll carry what I did know of Maddy in my heart. I don't have pictures or anything to share other than some fond memories and

Barnaby Richards posted on May 08, 2024 I just wanted to comment and let you know that I find it a great way to honor Maddy by supporting the junior ranger program. Both my daughter and now son have benefitted from the program. Finding this site will certainly encourage me to discuss mental health awareness with my kids and to think of the enduring mark that Maddys legacy has left. ------------------------------------------------------Comments---------------------------------

Madeleine Rauhe posted on Nov 28, 2023 You were the best gift giver. You always knew exactly what would make me smile and that it didn't have to be extravagant or expensive, but an acorn you found on your walk or the lightsaber earrings I still wear every May the 4th. To make this super friendship sappy, the best gift ever was when we got to hang out. The gift of knowing you outweighs it all. I'll be either hiking or skiing this weekend and I'll be thinking of you the whole t

hanna.lig posted on May 15, 2023 Just a quick note from me today. I wanted for a while to integrate Maddy's name into mine, and the timing of everything ended up corresponding with today (I got my final letter on Saturday) so I thought I would post my name change today. The other photo is of the breakfast I had the morning. A Maddy classic of chocolate chips heated up inside a croissant. Love you. ------------------------------------------------------Comments-----------------

Jordana Ash posted on Sep 10, 2023 More to come but I wanted to share some pictures of the Gathering for Maddy from this year. It was an extraordinary event as we gathering under the pavilion at Viele Lake and reflected on our love and loss of Maddy. It mattered so much to us to come together like this and it really feels like it's equally important to those of you who come, that you also need a place to collectively share our thoughts and feelings about Maddy. Take a look:

muffinhaynes410 posted on May 25, 2023 Missing you, my dear nephew. You are in my thoughts and my prayers each and every day. The meaning of the amethyst tree is peace and unification which is so near and dear to your heart. Love you so much, Aunt Alli.

jenniferleighyuen posted on Nov 27, 2022 I'm not sure how many people knew this, but in 2013, Madison had 2 birthdays. His real birthday landed during the Thanksgiving break. He told me he changed his birthday on Facebook to several days earlier so all of his new friends he had made in the dorms in the first 3 months of college would celebrate it with him. I'm not 100% sure why he couldn't just tell us he wanted to hang out with all of us before the break. Either way, we all

helenarohlfing posted on May 22, 2023 Today I reached the highest point of the Camino Frances, a ca 800km hike across northern Spain. At this highest point people leave stones, which they have carried, with their own or loved ones name on. Although I never had the privilege of meeting Maddy myself, I was told he enjoyed a good hike. I therefore decided to leave a stone for Maddy. ------------------------------------------------------Comments-----------------------------------

Stan Whitcomb posted on Aug 27, 2022 I had a dream about Maddy last night. We were in his backyard, he was cleaning a table and for some reason I was cleaning a bucket we had used to cook dinner (don't ask me, it's a dream). I put the bucket down in front of him, thinking it's his house, he should probably clean the bucket right? He arched one eyebrow at me, and said "the mark of a man is how he does the little things." Chastised, I cleaned freaking bucket before we retired t

hanna.lig posted on Jul 10, 2022 Yesterday I went to the beach to join Hanna - and all of Maddy's friends and family - in thinking about Maddy. I am a friend of Hanna's from the UK and never met Maddy but the stories that I have heard and read are beautiful and heartbreaking. It's so easy to get a picture of him as a generous, loving, caring and light-hearted adventurer, constantly doing and being good in whatever small ways he could. Thinking of Maddy and of everyone missing
