A small but sweet pile of floral tributes have been left on a Sunshine Coast street after the tragic death of a 24-year-old man.

Brightly coloured gerberas, roses and lilies have been left on a median strip at Parkville Street, Sippy Downs.

The residential street near the University of the Sunshine Coast was quiet on Sunday afternoon with only the flowers and road markings left after the devastating incident on Saturday night.
