A Logan father has been remembered as “one of a kind” as grieving family and friends pay tribute after he died in a tragic motorcycle crash west of Brisbane.

Jorden Gosling was killed after his motorcycle crashed into a guard rail on the Logan Motorway at Carole Park around 12.20pm on July 14.

Mr Gosling died at the scene.

Heartbroken family and friends have paid tribute to the 35-year-old since the tragedy with his partner, Amy Berger, saying he was someone who was loved by many.

“He was the most loyal, genuine, kind hearted, fun loving friend, lover, father and much more,” she said.

“I just wish he could see and believe how loved and supported he is through the generosity we are receiving.

“The kids looked forward to him coming home from work each week and giving them the energetic, fun dad that they will always love and remember.”

One of Mr Gosling’s closest friends, Aaron Balk, also gave an emotional tribute and said he was someone who would do anything for his mates.

“Jordz was a one of a kind, was always ready to help and always there if you needed a chat,” Mr Balk said.

“I’ve known and grow up with Jordz from Year 3 and he was one of the best and happiest friends with a loud bubbly personality and sincere loyalty.

“He loved his partner and three beautiful children, he loved his Subaru’s, his DJing, his online gaming and unfortunately his motorcycles.

“He will be wholeheartedly missed for the rest of our days.”

Mr Gosling’s friends have also come together to create a GoFundMe page to help his family with funeral costs with the page having already raised more than $6000 of a $10,000 goal.

One person who donated $3000 was one of many who also paid tribute to Mr Gosling on the GoFundMe page.

“Will forever miss you. It was a pleasure to meet a beautiful soul like you Jordz … Rest in peace brother,” one man said.

“Yesterday the world lost another great. You were my first friend in high school and we never separated. Sure we had our differences but when it mattered we had each other’s back. It’s time you can DJ on that big stage above. Till we meet again. Love you brother,” another friend posted on social media.

Investigations are continuing.
