A heartbroken Queensland family is grieving the unimaginable loss of two young sons just six months apart.
Leroy Cane, 23, died in the early hours of Good Friday after losing control of his motorbike and crashing at Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast.
His death came just six months and six days after his younger brother Ryan, 20, was electrocuted while standing near railway tracks in Duaringa, central Queensland, on September 28 last year.
Friends and relatives have since rallied around their parents, Paul and Leanne, and stepmother Jay, as tributes pour in for the two young men.
‘Paul and I are devastated as parents,’ Leanne wrote in a heartbreaking post last Friday.
‘We kindly ask for compassion and love as we process our loss.’
In an earlier post marking six months since Ryan’s death, she shared her grief.
‘A mum should never have to say, my son died six months ago,’ she wrote.

The latest tragedy to rock the family has sparked an outpouring of tributes
‘There is a coronial investigation, and we have been told so little about how, or why, this tragedy happened.
‘They say he died instantly, but my mind still cannot comprehend that I will never see Ryan move through life again.’
Jade Anderson paid tribute to her cousins on a fundraiser set up to ease the financial burden on her uncle Paul.
‘Leroy who loved anything that could get him into trouble, and he did it all with a smile on his face,’ she wrote.
‘But his real passion? His motorbike, and he lived every day like an adventure.’
‘Those who knew him will remember his infectious energy and his ability to turn an ordinary day into a story worth telling.’
An avid bull rider, Ryan was remembered as the quiet adventurer.
‘He’d rather be out working in the middle of nowhere than anywhere near civilisation, and he loved it that way,’ Ms Anderson wrote.

A police investigation into Leroy’s fatal crash continues
‘Bull riding was his passion, and the kind of wild, fearless pursuit that defined him.
‘His car (and the multiple tyres he went through) was his faithful companions on those long drive, but beneath that independent spirit was a young man deeply loved by his family and friends.
A police investigation into the circumstances of Leroy’s motorbike crash continues.
Anyone with information or footage of the motorbike before the crash is urged to come forward.
