Madison Lynn Ignat

August 15, 1997 — December 6, 2025

Madison Lynn Ignat, age 28, passed away on December 6, 2025, leaving behind a legacy of love, depth, and strength that will never fade.

Madison was a free and loving spirit whose presence touched everyone she met. Her love of music and journaling gave her strength even in the hardest times, serving as both refuge and expression. She felt at her best when helping people she loved, often showing her care through thoughtful gifts and selfless acts of kindness. People went to Madison for help because she had a rare ability to make others feel seen and comforted simply by being herself.

She was both gentle and tough—wise beyond her years, yet as goofy as could be. A hopeless romantic, a seeker of fairy tales, and a believer in all things spiritual, Madison carried a deep sense of wonder and meaning with her. Even when life tried to tear her down, her greatness only grew.

Madison is lovingly remembered by her parents, John and Ariana Ignat; her siblings, Amber and Joseph Ignat; her grandmothers, Adele Catherwood and Sharon Pilon; her grandfather, John Ignat; her aunts, Alexandra Catherwood and Crystal Strang; her uncles, Jason Burt and Jeff Ignat; her nephews, Phoenix and Maximus McClain; her stepmother, Mandie Riha Ignat; her stepsister, Matilda Riha; and many other cherished family members and friends whose lives were forever changed by her love.

She was preceded in death by her great uncle, Edward Catherwood, her aunt, Lisa Leasure. and her grandfathers Gary Leasure, Richard Burt, and Kevin Pilon.

Though her time with us was far too short, Madison will be with us always—carried in our hearts, our memories, and the love she so freely gave.

Madison will be laid to rest at 11 AM on Thursday, December 18, 2025 at Alamance Memorial Park Mausoleum in Burlington, NC.

Memorial services will also be held in Columbia, South Carolina, and Madison, Ohio.
