“Stu was a fantastic loyal, caring, hard working husband who seemed to be just in his prime, preparing to introduce his baby girl into the world,” she said.
“Words can not describe the heartache of this tragedy for all family and friends.”
Kenyon has set up a GoFundMe to support her cousin Kellie, Jackson’s wife, as she grapples with the loss of her husband.
“I’m hoping these funds can help with funeral arrangements and anything the new mum-to-be will need to assist with anything in the future,” she said.
Police investigations into the cause of the crash continue.
Anyone who may have witnessed the accident or has footage is urged to contact police.
