The AFDA is saddened to hear of the sudden passing of Guarin Owen.“I am very sorry to have to write to you about Guarin Owen. He had a diving accident in the Solomon Islands last Sunday week, 4th May, and he never resurfaced. I'm sure this is dreadful news for you as it has been for us.
Guarin's father, went over to the Solomon Islands to see how he could help and was there until they finished searching for him, but he was not found.
I am sorry you will have to break this news to the rest of your team and to the others he knew in the Brisbane Premier League.
Amongst our own network of friends, Guarin was well-known and liked and we have had good support and many caring messages from those we know. But we really knew nothing much about the network of his friends like the ones he played Frisbee with. So we would be pleased if you could help to pass on the information to anyone who knew Guarin. We are not intending to have a memorial service.”Guarin's early Ultimate Career began back in Sydney in the early 2000s with Fakulti and Sydney Uni. Guarin travelled far and wide playing for a few years in Perth before moving to Brisbane and the BPL.He was one of the nicest and happiest people you would ever meet.Guarin, the Ultimate Community will miss youRIP
