Marshall “Bumpy” Adams

Marshall “Bumpy” Adams

Submitted by: Downhome

Downhome, Our son Marshall, known by family and friends as "Bumpy", was diagnosed with liver cancer in April 2011. From then until 2017, he and his wife hiked 33 trails in our great province, while he was battling cancer and doing chemo treatments. He was full of enthusiasm; showing us pictures and telling us all about the trails they hiked. The one he was most proud of was hiking to the summit of Gros Morne Mountain, which he vowed he would do again. Sadly he passed away in July 2018, unable to fulfill that dream. In June of 2019, some of his family decided to do the hike in his honour. It was a rough trail and they encountered snow near the top, but they knew if he could reach the top while receiving chemo treatments, so could they. Sharing his experience, taking in the view and seeing the beautiful butterfly waiting for them at the top made it feel like he was there with them. I'm sending you a photo of their hike. From left to right are his daughter, Robyn, her husband, Ben, his sisters, Lori, Sandy, and Gail, and his wife, Tracey. I'm also enclosing a photo of Bumpy doing the hike in 2012.
