Journey' End

Thursday, June 16, 2011
Martin has come to the end of his journey. He lost his courageous fight to cancer on June 15th. Thankfully, he went quickly in the last three days. He will be greatly missed by his family and many friends. We wish to thank the many people at helping hands who supported Martin through his illness. To Carolyn, Amy, and Oni who stayed with Martin until the end we owe you a special debt of gratitude by helping Martin through this journey and supporting us though this heartbreaking time. We have come to know you well and love you as Martin did.

In loving memory of our Son

Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss. Martin was a beautful and wonderful person who ignited a sense of playfulness in so many people. He truly knew what it was to enjoy life to its fullest.

I will miss him dearly and think of him often....

Love to you all....

Cherie and I are very sorry for your loss. Although it has been many years since we have spoken to Martin we thought of him often. His mantra of "it is better to burn out, than to fade away' always circulates in the back of our heads. He was a good friend, and we are sorry our paths could not cross again. Rest peacefully now my friend your memory will not fade away, I know you have touched many lives on your journey.

Martin was the brightest of lights during our days in Thunder Bay and in the Bow Valley - an incredible human being to all and a force of nature among friends.

He will be loved and missed, eternally.
