Madyson Elon Barbee (Mady), the beloved child of Brian and Kendra LeBrun was tragically called away Monday, July 13th, 2015. Madyson Elon Barbee was born September 15th, 2003, in Deadwood, SD. Madyson excelled in everything she did. She was an intelligent, athletic and very talented girl. Madyson loved the pool and riding her bike in the summer and playing in the snow with her siblings in the winter. Madyson was very athletic and loved playing sports, especially softball and basketball. She was extremely talented and loved to sing and dance, especially together. Give Madyson a song and she’d have it memorized and choreographed in no time. Madyson adored shopping, makeup and everything and anything zebra print. Madyson was a great help around the house, especially in the kitchen as she loved to cook, but hated the clean up. Among Madyson’s many talents, her biggest talent was being a big sister. She loved all her siblings, and was an amazing big sister, especially to her little brothers. She had a big heart and cared for many. Madyson made an incredible babysitter, and was just certified for babysitting. She wasn’t intimidated by anyone or anything and wasn’t hesitant to tell you her feelings and opinions about anything. Madyson was full of life, strength and drive and will greatly be missed. We are honored and blessed to have Madyson in our lives for the time we did. Tragedy took her away too young but life holds a bigger purpose for her.
