Lee’s social media accounts have since been flooded with farewells and tributes with his Aunty Tracey O’Donohue saying she couldn’t choose one favourite memory with her nephew.

“Words can’t describe how we are feeling right now, our hearts are shattered”.

“I’ve got so many memories playing in my mind, you really are one of a kind,” she said.

“I will forever cherish the times we spent together, the stories we shared, everything about you.”

Friends of the 22-year-old came together on New Year’s Day on the Gold Coast to pay tribute, with some of Lee’s friends paying homage through burnouts.

Friends and family gathered by the hundreds outside of Bunnings warehouse in Gladstone on January 2 for an official memorial.

The crowd released 100’s of balloons into the sky to pay respect to Lee, along with a convoy of vehicles lead by Hayden’s beloved car.

Police are continuing to investigate the crash.
