Paul 'Budgie' Jacobsen - Rest In Peace

It is with great sadness that the Marist St Pats family has learnt of the death of Life Member Paul Jacobsen “aka Budgie”.

Paul was a Marist St Pat’s legend who contributed so much to the Marist St Pats family over such a long period. The Marist St Pats family extends its condolences to Lynn and to the extended Jacobsen family.

Budgie’s “Beat the Budgie” fundraising endeavours, raffle ticket selling and Jubilee Cup player-winning entertainment skills have been indispensable to Marist St Pats over the past 50 years. As a coach, Paul was the complete package. Some say he taught them everything there was to know about life, rugby, and business.

This is not an easy time but we trust that the knowledge that all of the Jacobsen extended family are in the thoughts and prayers of so many Marist St Pats players and supporters will be of comfort at this time.

Budgie’s Vigil will be held on Sunday at 7pm; his Requiem on Monday at 1.30pm, both at St Mary of the Angels.
