The partner and family of a man who died in a tragic crash while riding his motorbike say nothing could describe their pain as they grieve the loss of a man they describe as a “diamond in the rough”.
Logan Village resident Jason Bice passed away after his motorbike collided with a car in Slacks Creek on May 26, one of two fatal crashes in southeast Queensland that day.
The 47-year-old died at the scene.
Mr Bice is survived by his partner, Julie Boal, his five sisters, parents and six children who his family said he “loved to death”.
Ms Boal, his partner of four years, said he would be missed by everyone he knew but especially by his family.
“We love Jason so much,” she said.
“He brought nothing but happiness into our lives.
“I can only talk for my heart ache right now, my tears don’t stop, all I want is my Jas.
“We had such a bond and love that nothing could break it and never will.”
Ms Boal said he would light up any room he walked into.
“Jason had a way of picking people up when down, he would give his last dollar to help anyone and his heart was filled with god,” she said.
“He was, as we all say, a diamond in the rough.
“I had the honour to be his partner in life and his love was so pure, he would never want to see anyone in pain, he would stop and help anyone and was always the gentleman.
“Jason was a very humble man and loved his family fiercely he was very protective of us all.
“Everything about Jason was amazing.
“Jas was also a father to my daughter, Samantha Boal as well.
“He was her biggest cheer squad always supporting her and encouraging her to strive in life’s journeys, she loved him dearly.”
Mr Bice grew up in Victoria before moving to Queensland with his dad at 15-years-old.
One of Mr Bice’s five sisters, Donna Lee Bice, said he lived life to the fullest.
“He loved his family, his sisters, parents, children and partner more than anything else,” she said.
“He was always funny, always scaring and pranking people.
“Jason was a daredevil and was always adventurous, he abseiled the tallest buildings in Brisbane and the Gold Coast, loved motorbikes, machinery, animals and farming – he lived the way he wanted and passed away on the very thing he loved.
“He was in a great place when he passed.”
Ms Lee Bice said he would be missed by everyone who knew him because of the lasting impression he made on so many people.
“The entire community will miss him dearly, it only took microseconds when people met him for them to be hooked, he was that type of person,” she said.
“He new how to work a room and made connections within like 20 seconds.”
Mr Bice will be farewelled at a funeral next week.
