Kevin Adamson Obituary
Kevin spent many happy years raising his children with their mother Karen in Ellensburg. The pride and joys of his life were his children and his 1976 Triumph Bonneville motorcycle. He grew up enjoying summers on the Chesapeake Bay, and continued to enjoy the outdoors by exploring the northwest in the family camper. He also enjoyed attending sprint car races with his brother Victor, football, GTOs, John Hiatt's music, telling stories of farm life and a summer on a fishing boat, and a good dinner of potato chips and coffee ice cream. Kevin was an animal lover and his beloved dogs Bonnie and Venus were always by his side on their nightly walks.
Kevin was preceded in death by father Victor Adamson Sr., mother Clare Adamson, Godson Chris Cooper, and niece Karen Adamson.
Kevin is survived by his daughters Kristen Adamson of Seattle and Nikki Adamson, ex-wife Karen Martinis of Ellensburg, WA, brother Victor Adamson and wife Diana of Bonney Lake, WA, sister Elizabeth Clark of Columbia SC, sister Linda Murphy of Arizona, and brother Raymond Adamson of New York.
Additional survivors include nieces and nephews Erin Anderson of Ellensburg, Juli Anderson, John Cooper, Mike Cooper, Joel Cooper, Andy Cooper, Karen Shull, Dylan and Nathan Adamson, Chase and Sam Ellinger, Michael Adamson, Ray Paul Adamson, Kathy Adamson, Scott Adamson, Steven Adamson, and many other great nieces and nephews.
Kevin was an inspiration to all of us, and we will always remember his fighting spirit.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggest donations be made to the American Parkinson Disease Association. A Memorial will be held at Bonney Lake Community Church, Sunday, February 8th at 3:00 pm.
