'Quietly mischievous': Tributes for teen killed in car crash at Roma

The family of a 16-year-old Brisbane elite school student killed alongside a boy, 10, in a horror crash at Roma on Sunday have paid tribute to the popular young man who was heavily involved in basketball and travelled the US playing.

Archie Gouldson died in a traffic crash at Roma, on Sunday, May 24.

THE family of a Brisbane elite school student  killed in a horrific double fatal crash at Roma on Sunday, remembered him as a "quietly mischievous" young man.

Churchie Yr 11 student Archie Gouldson, 16, died alongside a boy, 10, when a wagon rolled on a private property at Roma at 11.50am on Sunday.

Two other 16-year-olds were injured.

"Archie was a very keen sports person and a very good student," his grandfather John Gouldson said.

"He was in Year 11 at Church of England Grammar School in Brisbane where he played rugby, basketball and soccer.

"He was heavily involved with the school's basketball program and toured the U.S. playing in high schools across America.

"I do not know that Archie had set his mind on a vocation, but he was opened minded and would have gone to university."

Mr Gouldson said his grandson was visiting a friend's family farm at the weekend when the crash occurred.

"He was quietly mischievous, very gregarious and had a great relationship with his friends," he said.

"That has been illustrated by what the Churchie boys did on Monday when they held a memorial service at the school."

Along with prayers and kind words several of the Archie's friends and teammates shaved the side of their heads to replicate his latest haircut.

"He had a mop top that he shaved into a crewcut," Mr Gouldson said.

Mr Gouldson, a former Toowoomba councillor, thanked the boys, the school and the wider community for their support during this difficult time.

"It is tragic, but unfortunately life dishes up these unexpected things," he said.

Archie is survived by his father Faran Gouldson, mother Prue Sinnamon and sisters Edie and Poppy.

A funeral will be held at Churchie at a date to be set.
