His sister, Nicole Miller, has since described him as “caring” and “kind hearted” in an interview with 7NEWS.

“He’s just my hero, I can’t believe how lucky I am to have such an amazing brother,” Ms Miller said.

She said her brother had received his pilot license earlier this year, and that he died doing what he loved.

“(He was) always watching all the old war movies with the planes that would take off, he would soak up everything that he saw,” she said.

“Not many people can say they went out doing exactly what they loved doing.”

The young man was due to turn 21 in five weeks, with Ms Miller saying his family “would have loved” to celebrate with him.

“It’s going to be a really difficult day for everybody,” Ms Miller said.

Ms Miller added “nothing will ever fix the place he had in our lives”.
