Roses Rugby

It’s with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Brad Strubel, a true Rose in every sense of the word.

Brad played with the Roses for years, and even after he hung up his boots, he never really left. He stayed involved with the club and was a driving force behind our youth tournament every year alongside Knightmare Rugby, helping build the next generation of players in Lancaster County.

Beyond rugby, Brad left his mark on the local wrestling community too, coaching, playing, and refereeing with multiple organizations over the years. Between wrestling mats and rugby pitches, he touched the lives of more young athletes than we could ever count.

If you knew Brad, you knew the smile. You knew the cigar in his hand. You knew he probably had a story about half the people in this town, because he seemed to know everybody. And if you needed a ride to a tournament, a party, or just about anywhere, there was a good chance Brad and his vans were the ones getting you there, making memories the whole way.

He was a mountain of a man with an even bigger heart. A true friend. Someone who showed up, who gave back, and who made everyone around him feel like they mattered.

Brad, thank you for everything you gave to this club and this community. You’ll be deeply missed, but never forgotten.

Rest easy, brother. 🌹
