Madison Summerville was at home in Spalding County with her children on the morning of February 15. Madison had a busy week celebrating her birthday and spending Valentine’s Day with her partner, Daniel Denham, and their three young children, Kayden, who is five years old, Thomas, who is four, and Paisley, who is three. Tragically, though, their mobile home caught fire the following day.
To save her children, Madison bravely battled through the flames in spite of the heavy smoke and extreme heat. She shattered a window, pulled Kayden outdoors, and told him to get help. Neighbors raced to the scene upon hearing Kayden’s cry for help, pulling Thomas and Paisley out of the blazing house.
However, Madison was trapped by the smoke and could not get away. By staying put until her kids were secure, she gave the ultimate sacrifice. Tragically, the courageous young mother perished in the fire.
Madison’s family has called her “everything” and “beautiful,” and they will always view her as a hero. Daniel Denham, her devoted spouse, said in poignant terms, “She was the best wife, mother, friend, daughter, and sister that anyone could ever have.” She brought fulfillment to our lives. She sacrificed her life to protect our lovely kids. All of those who knew Madison have been profoundly impacted by her bravery and selflessness.
Friends and family mourned for Madison and voiced their respect for the young mother as word of her bravery spread. Many replaced their profile pictures with pictures of Madison in an effort to show support for Daniel and the kids. Madison’s sister Chasidy started a GoFundMe page to assist the family in rebuilding their life after everything was destroyed in the fire.
Madison’s extraordinary deed of bravery goes above and beyond merely rescuing her own kids. She can potentially save the lives of eight more people as an organ donor in addition to the three that she now has. “My sister gave her life to try and save her three babies—now that’s a hero,” Chasidy said, expressing the significance of her sister.
The loss of this brave young mother is extremely tragic, even if the cause of the fire is still under investigation. The family of Madison Summerville is in our thoughts and prayers during this trying time.
