Prewett, who was born in Loveland but raised in Fort Collins, was a freshman psychology major at CU Boulder, where she enrolled after a semester at the University of Hawaii Manoa.If you didn’t know her, you really missed out. Madi was so funny and fun to be around,” her family wrote in an online obituary. “She rarely complained and always tried to be optimistic. When talking about her or watching videos of her, we feel such a loss that such a vibrant and incredible light has gone out in the world.”According to her family, Prewett struggled with several physical ailments including postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, a condition that affects circulation. As a result she had an ongoing battle with depression, and her family said she had been especially struggling in the weeks before her death.
“We have all watched how hard she fought to stay alive,” the obituary read. “We are angry, however, that our poor girl got knocked down time and time again and never got a break. We are angry that she didn’t get to have the life she deserved and worked so hard for.We want you to know that Madi is the strongest person we know, and she was a fighter.”
Her family said Prewett had always been open and honest with her struggles and hoped her story would help others.
“We’re very proud of her for being honest with her struggles on social media,” the obituary read. “It is so hard to find something genuine in that sea of photos with everyone displaying the best times of their life. But Madi took a chance and made a post on April 19th where shetalked about her struggles with depression and thoughts of suicide to her 1,102 followers and she steered people toward resources to help them. We are so incredibly proud of our girl for being vulnerable and authentic! She was nervous about doing it, but soon felt relieved when so many people reached out to her for help and told her that they, too, were struggling.”
