The heartbroken mother of Luke Davies has bravely thanked the community for the enormous outpouring of support she has received since her son and his partner Jesse Baird were allegedly murdered three weeks ago.
Sandra Davies posted the gracious message on a fundraising site which has reached more than $75,000 in donations since the two men died in horrific circumstances on February 19.
Serving police officer Beau Lamarre-Condon has been charged with their murder.
Mrs Davies described Luke, 29, - one of her three sons - as “our beloved and most beautiful, kindest soul”.
“It is with a grateful heart we thank you all sincerely, although these words just don’t seem enough for the overwhelming love and generosity both Luke and Jesse have received these past few weeks,” Mrs Davies wrote.
“To all the family, friends and strangers for your generous gifts and words of support we appreciate all of your help during this very traumatic and difficult time and will continue to keep you updated as we start to prepare for Luke’s final farewell”.
Luke and Jesse, 26, were allegedly murdered inside a Paddington terrace, before their bodies were concealed in surfboard bags and dumped in bushland in the Southern Tablelands.
NSW Police allege Lamarre-Condon, who previously dated Jesse, used his Glock to fatal shoot the pair.
Family friend Jessica Vaux who set up the fundraiser said the memories of “Lukey” will last a lifetime.
“The intentions (of the fundraiser) are to help his family in this tragic time and help give him the send off he deserves,” Ms Vaux wrote.
“Luke was a larger than life human who touched everyone’s hearts he met. There was never a dull moment when his presence and infectious laugh was in a room.”
“Taken too soon but the memories will last a lifetime. Fly high Lukey, until we meet again,” she wrote.
Funerals for both men are still being planned with no date set as yet.
