A friend and a legend is how the 24-year-old, known as Scotty to those who knew him well, was remembered at a funeral service in Wagga yesterday.

Scott died when his trail bike crashed into a tree near Tumbarumba a week ago.

According to police, Scott was riding along Perkins Drive, in the Bago State Forest, when his bike left the road and hit a number of trees about 2pm on Saturday.

Yesterday's service, at an overflowing Wagga Crematorium Chapel, heard Scotty - a devout Hawthorn and Rabbitohs supporter - died doing what he loved.

Another of his loves, a husky named Kyran, joined mourners as they farewelled a young man taken before his time.

"I wished we didn't have to say goodbye so soon, you brought so much happiness and joy into so many lives," Scott's sister Natasha told the service.

"You lived a wild life Scotty, breaking a few of my bones along the way.

"Every one of your scars had a story behind it; I love you so much brother, I'll never forget you."

Scotty's brothers, Adam and Grant, spoke of them growing up as "unglorified daredevils".

"Uncle, son, grandson to a few; brother, friend, legend to everyone else," Grant said.

"With his head-first, no fear, living-by-the-second attitude no one dared to out do Scotty.

"Scott's friendship was infectious, as it affected everyone he came in contact with.

"Scotty was the best, which brought out the best in people around him."

Scott's casket was carried into the chapel by his siblings and father Danny, along with James Stockton and Nathaniel Liersch, as Billy Joel's Piano Man echoed through the morning air.

During a visual presentation, to the tune of Lightning Crashes by Live, those who gathered laughed as memories of Scott's antics were shared.
