A senior Finks bikie shot dead in Sydney’s west last month has been farewelled in traditional outlaw fashion, with a procession of roaring motorbike engines carrying his coffin out of his funeral.
Jamie “Jay” Goodworth was found dumped on the doorstep of Liverpool Hospital about 1.20am on Saturday, February 24 suffering from gunshot wounds.
Doctors worked desperately on the 32-year-old Finks OMCG member, but he could not be saved.
Goodworth was engaged to partner Amanda and together in recent months they had welcomed a daughter into the world together.
The young daughter he barely got to know was among Goodworth’s shattered family, friends and teammates from his amateur Central Coast rugby league team Budgewoi Bulldogs, gathered at Friday’s service to remember a man they described as a “loving father … much loved son … and protector to all”.
But also in attendance, and impossible to miss among the crowd of hundreds, were a throng of Finks bikies.
Some were covered head-to-toe in tattoos and with intimidating haircuts.
Others, wore their Finks bikie colours – either in the form of a leather cut or a Finks T-shirt – despite them being outlawed in NSW.
At the front of the chapel at Pinegrove Memorial Park in Minchinbury sat Goodworth’s coffin.
“Fink Forever” was written at the top of the all-black coffin, his name “Jamie” was across the bottom, while emblazoned in the middle was the Finks 1%er logo, as well as “FFFF” – the acronym of their slogan “Finks forever, forever Finks”.
On the side was his nickname “Bullet” as well as “ruthless as f--k”, another phrase commonly used by the bikie gang.
After the service the coffin was placed onto the sidecar of a motorcycle and driven away from the chapel, as mourners made a guard of honour and with a procession of motorbikes following behind.
As the casket was lowered into the ground red roses, a toy gun and the blue playing shirt of his Budgewoi Bulldogs team were placed on top.
Goodworth’s death led to police launching a major investigation, with a key focus being on finding the links between a blue vehicle that was seized at Liverpool Hospital on the night of his death.
“We’re undertaking a number of inquiries in relation to locations associated, and we currently have the blue vehicle in our custody,” NSW Police Superintendent Adam Whyte said on the day of his death.
It is believed at least one other man drove Goodworth to the hospital, before fleeing the scene.
