Madelynn May, a 23-year-old adult content creator, has sparked conversation by revealing she carries her father’s ashes with her during risqué photo shoots and work trips. Her father, Patrick, died of cancer on December 18, 2024, at age 57. Madelynn describes him as her “best friend” and insists it would feel “rude” to leave his remains behind.

“I’m on a week-long road trip, and Dad’s urn is right here,” Madelynn told Daily Mail. “We’ve done podcasts, Instagram shoots, and collaborations together. He’s part of my journey, even now.” She acknowledges that some find it unusual to have an urn nearby during intimate shoots but says, “I love it—he was my biggest supporter.”

Patrick enthusiastically backed Madelynn’s career, often appearing in her TikTok videos. Their playful content amassed billions of views, with their final video posted just ten days before his sudden passing. “I’m grateful the world got to see his sparkle,” she said.

Grief motivated Madelynn to keep Patrick’s memory close. She travels frequently and felt guilty leaving his ashes at home. “I can’t abandon him for a month. Grief is personal—this feels right for us,” she explained. She carries a small urn while traveling, while a larger one stays in her gaming room.

Though unconventional, Madelynn believes her dad would appreciate the gesture. “He’s surrounded by fun, creativity, and yes—sexy models. He’d definitely approve,” she laughed. Her story has resonated with fans, highlighting unique ways people cope with loss.
