Jayk Allen was killed on Sunday morning when his motorbike crashed into a car towing a boat on Albany St near Claymore Rd at Sippy Downs.

Mr Allen’s sister posted a GoFundMe shortly after the incident, describing her brother as an amazing uncle, brother, son and nephew.

“My parents are shattered and I would love to get help with helping them pay for funeral cost.”

On Thursday morning the GoFundMe had raised $1282 of the family’s $5500 goal.

A Queensland Police Service spokeswoman today said a police investigation was ongoing and no charges were laid.

A social media post shared on Monday described Mr Allen as a “kind-hearted person” who had not yet reached his full potential in life.

“You loved your bike and you were a kind-hearted person and would drop everything to help me when I needed it, you were always good for a beer and a laugh and would confide in me,” the post stated.

“I really wish what happened wasn’t true, and I hope to wake up to see you having a beer downstairs in the shed one last time. Love you mate, rest well.”

Jayk Allen was killed in a crash in Sippy Downs on January 5, 2025.

The post prompted an outpouring of grief from family and friends.

“No!! Not Jayk Allen that’s not fair! The ‘porcelain engineer’ of Spero, the sweetest guy! My heart is breaking for you and the family,” one comment stated.

A separate comment described Mr Allen as a “genuine guy, always up for a chat”, while another paid tribute to the 23-year-old as an “absolute legend, left us far too soon”.
