The Officers and Members of the Barbados Volleyball Association extend deepest sympathies to the family and friends of Patrick Oxley of Deacons.

The affable “Pat The Dog” Oxley of Deacons passed away today Tuesday, September 20, 2022.

​Patrick, 49, who was the brother of former Barbados captain Elwyn Oxley and father of national player and volleyball scholarship winner Akeel Oxley passed away following a short period of illness.
​
Patrick was a key setter on Deacons division two team which dominated volleyball for over a decade in the nineties. Following his playing days Patrick took up coaching at the Springer Memorial School and Harrison College.

​Patrick not only became a Barbados Junior Team coach but he formed Development Volleyball in Motion six years ago to accommodate the large number of beginner players who journeyed to Deacons to be coached in the sport. DVM reached the women’s division one in 2019.

​May he Rest In Peace and Rise in Glory.
