Madison Ansley Silva

Madison Ansley Silva, a radiant and fiercely loving soul, passed away on June 20, 2025, at the young age of 34, leaving behind a legacy of loyalty, passion, and unwavering faith. Born on March 31, 1991, in Amarillo, Texas, Madison lived life with a vibrant energy that touched everyone she met.

Madison was shaped by the profound influence of her beloved grandmother, Margie Silva, whose strength, grace, and love molded her into the remarkable woman she became. Madison’s fierce and boundless love shone brightest for her family—her parents, Sammy Silva Jr. and Desiree Roberts Garrett, her brother, Stephan Gage Garrett, and her extended family, who were her heart and home. Despite being spoiled with love, she was her parents’ keeper, always watching over them with a protective and devoted heart. A notorious prankster, Madison delighted in teasing her parents by randomly merging their calls, her jokes leaving everyone laughing and filling their lives with joy. A woman of deep faith, she found strength in her devotion to God, which guided her through life’s joys and challenges. Her loyalty was a gift to those fortunate enough to call her family or friend, as she stood by them with unwavering support.

A talented hairdresser, Madison poured her creativity and heart into her salon, Headcase, a dream she built with pride under the guidance of her cherished mentor, Jennifer Imhof, whose encouragement shaped Madison’s remarkable career. Madison’s sense of style was a radiant gift inherited from her father, Sammy, whose impeccable flair she mirrored with every outfit she chose. Their shared love for fashion was a special bond, each look a reflection of his vibrant influence in her life. She loved getting glammed up with her friends, sharing laughter and style in moments that sparkled as brightly as she did. A passionate foodie, Madison’s love for cooking brought people together, her kitchen a space of warmth, creativity, and delicious creations, which she proudly shared on her socials, delighting friends with her culinary flair.

Madison’s passion for fitness was a cherished gift from her mother, Desiree, whose strength and dedication to movement inspired every step. Together they built a treasured bond through shared workouts, each moment filled with love and mutual encouragement. Fitness was Madison’s sanctuary, where she channeled her strength and discipline, inspiring others with her dedication. Above all, her heart belonged to her beloved dogs, Coopie, Lucky Star Casino, Scrapster, and Shadster, whose companionship brought her endless joy and whom she cherished as family.

Madison was preceded in death by her grandparents, Kenneth Roberts, “Gan” Lyn Doyle Roberts, and Margie Silva; her great-grandmothers, Paulina “Ama” Silva and Margaret “Shatze” Doyle; her little sister, Abbie Cate Stark; and her cousins, Brantley Wade and Sheridan McKae Taylor.

She is survived by her loving parents, Sammy Silva Jr. and Desiree Roberts Garrett; her brother, Stephan Gage Garrett, and sister-in-law, Ashley Wood, along with their children, Abbie, Ethan, Eden, and Easton; her grandfather, Sammy Silva Sr.; her extended family, including Steve and Renee Rubio with their children, Jacob, his fiance Mariah, Marcos, and Romie; Stephanie and Kylie Murray and their children; Joe and Amanda Arguellez with their children, Gabrielle and Jase; Elisha and Bryan Oliver with their children, Evan, Colton, and June Bug; Valerie Roberts and her children Braxton and wife Macy; Ruston and wife Peyton and their son Matteo; Ayla Blair, daughter of her late cousin Sheridan; and her heart’s beloved companion, Chad Campbell.
