To his friends, former Newstead resident Luke Davies was a kind, fun-loving man with a generous personality who made time for everyone. 💖

“He was just super lovely, you could just see by how many people turned up to his (memorial) that he just touched everyone,” friend Jess Vaux said.

The 29-year-old flight attendant moved to Sydney from Brisbane at the end of 2023, but he and his partner Jesse Baird were tragically killed in February this year.

While in Brisbane, Luke loved coming to New Farm Park, and his friend Dean Bailey is now advocating to get a memorial plaque installed there.
