How did Simon Dunne die?

Simon Dunn, an Australian bobsledder, is no more. Dunn’s representative, Ruby Rose Management, confirmed his death.

The statement reads,

“Ruby Rose Management has the unenviable task of confirming the passing of Simon Dunn, aged 35.

Loved by family and friends and adored by fans, media and social platforms around the world, our own Simon Dunne has passed away leaving an incredible legacy.

Representing Australia in bobsled, LGBTIAQ+ in Rugby Union both here in Australia and overseas, plus the presence of every LBGTIAQ+ person in the media – Simon was loved, adored and respected in our community around the world.

Simon was passionate about giving back to the community and volunteering, he volunteered his time and used his profile to help numerous charities. Like all great ambassadors, he had his favourites, which included the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation, Give Out Day and Pride in Sport.

Simon has never said NO to donating his time to any organization looking to expand its diversity and inclusion footprint from Woolworths to Lion – helping them all better understand their LGBTQIA+ employees and customers.

Simon represented all of us, he always said, “I’m not the speaker, I’m just a gay white man telling you about my experiences and the experiences of those I listened to and learned from. Sharing these stories gives us all an appreciation for what got us to where we are today.”

The face of Global Gay Uncles Day, he left his loving and supportive mother, sister and nephews and niece, the place he would go when he wanted a piece of reality or just peace in his reality.

Simon will be missed, not only for his sportsmanship, not only for his valuable views on our community and sport, but most of all for being a genuinely good man who had time for everyone.

He had a story for all of us, but most of all he wanted to know your story, who you are and how he can help you share what you want to live.
Vale Simon Dunn”
