We are so deeply saddened to share the unexpected and tragic passing of Mystic River Rugby Club legend, Adnan Kawuma.

Adnan was a staple of the club. He played with Mystic River's men's side when he was only 16 years old, brought out to the pitch by his Malden High Soccer Coach, and Mystic River Rugby Club's Captain, Jamie Green.

A young man from Uganda trying to find his way in Boston quickly became a pillar in the Mystic River family and community.

Adnan played with Mystic River over the course of 20 years, donning the Mystic logo most recently at the New England Free Jacks' Golden Oldies Old Boys tournament this spring, which of course, he played a part in winning hardware, as being a champion was in his DNA, not just in rugby, but in life.

He always shared his deep passion for rugby with those around him, with a massive smile, an infectious laugh, and world-class talent.

Losing Adnan has left a void in the hearts of not only our club, but of the rugby community and anyone who knew him. Those that had the pleasure of playing with or against him will tell you he was nothing short of an incredible person.

We ask that you please keep Adnan's family and friends in your thoughts and prayers as we all mourn the loss of a brother taken far too early from this world.

And with that, please donate to the GoFundMe attached as we aim to provide his family with even a fraction of what Adnan gave to Mystic River Rugby Club through his love, friendship, pride, and his legacy.

We also ask that you share your memories, photos, and love for Adnan as we know his spirit and his legend will live on forever.

Donate to In Loving Memory of Adnan Kawuma, organized by Mystic Rugby The morning of June 14th, the rugby world lost one of its giants. Adnan Kawuma, champion… Mystic Rugby needs your support for In Loving Memory of Adnan Kawuma
