It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of one of our valued club members, Charlie.
Charlie was more than just a player, he was a big part of our touch family.
Charlie will be deeply missed by everyone who had the privilege of playing alongside him.
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Charlie’s family, friends, and teammates during this incredibly sad time.
Rest easy, Charlie 🤍

Vale Charlie “Chuckles” Budwee 🤍🕊️

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of a true club legend, Charlie Budwee — known to us all as “Chuckles”.

Charlie passed peacefully on Sunday morning with Blaire by his side.

Chuckles was one of those rare individuals who left every person he met better than he found them. His warmth, humour, and genuine care for others meant that anyone who spent time with him walked away smiling. He always made space for people, always checked in, and always gave his time freely. He was, in every sense, salt of the earth.

A proud club centurion, Charlie represented our colours from Prems through to 3rd Grade. Even after finishing his own match, he would be straight into helping the Prems and Ressies — running water, carrying messages, doing whatever was needed without hesitation. His commitment to the club and its people was unwavering.

He was a constant presence in the clubrooms, chatting with supporters, sharing laughs with players across all grades, and signing off every sentence with his trademark “Bro”. His spirit, generosity, and joy for life helped shape the culture we are proud of today.

Charlie “Chuckles” Budwee will be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Our deepest condolences go out to Blaire, his wife, and all of Charlie’s friends and family during this difficult time. Our thoughts are also with his community at both Hills Rugby & Alkimos Tigers Touch who we know share our loss.

Rest in peace, Chuck, and go easy on the angels — they’ve got work to do “Bro”

🧡Supporting one of our own🧡

Our thoughts are with Charlie and his family during this tough time.
A GoFundMe page has been set up to support him and his family. If you’re able to donate or share, it would be greatly appreciated.

You got this Charlie!

📣 Last night our mate and teammate Charlie Budwee suffered a sudden and serious medical emergency. What initially looked like breathing issues quickly escalated into severe chest, back, and leg pain. Charlie was taken straight to hospital, where doctors discovered an aortic dissection.

Charlie was rushed to Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and taken into emergency surgery for a 10 hour operation, where his aorta was reconstructed. Charlie is now out of surgery and in ICU, and while we’re grateful he’s receiving the best possible care, we know this will be a long and challenging road to recovery for Charlie and his family.

If you know Charlie, you know exactly the kind of person he is: a true club stalwart, always the first to put his hand up, welcome people in, and help wherever he can. If it were anyone else in this situation, Charlie would be the first bloke standing up to support them.

This fundraiser is being organised by Joondalup Brothers Rugby Club to support Charlie and his family with the financial pressure that comes with a medical crisis... time away from work, ongoing treatment and rehab, travel and day-to-day costs, and whatever else they may need in the months ahead.

Every donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this page and keeping Charlie and his family in your thoughts.

From all of us at Joondalup Brothers, thank you for wrapping your arms around Charlie.
