DE LA MOURNS LEIGH WILLIAMS

By VAFA · February 24, 2015
DE LA MOURNS LEIGH WILLIAMS

The De La Salle OC community is deeply saddened to hear the news of the tragic death of player Leigh Williams.

Williams was involved in a single car accident in King Island a fortnight ago and the news sent shockwaves through the De La Salle community.

Williams arrived at the football club on the back of a recruiting effort from Assumption College, along with a few of his close mates in 2007.

He was a fantastic young man and a great friend to those he met whilst playing at De La Salle, Williams was a member of the 2007 U/19 Blues Premiership Team.

The VAFA sends our thoughts to Leigh’s parents, Rod & Robyn, his extended family and friends, and his partner Lauren and their two young boys, Cooper (aged 4 ½) and Hunter (aged 2).

De La Salle will be raising funds over the coming weeks for Leigh’s young family. You can contribute a donation via the Leigh Williams Family Fun Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/LeighWilliamsFamilyFund.
