Wagga's Steve Schreiber mourned by friends and family during funeral at Alan Harris McDonald

Steve Schreiber, 30, tragically died in a car crash at Forest Hill earlier this month.

More than 200 people packed into the Alan Harris McDonald chapel on Thursday morning to mourn the loss of a young man gone too soon.

His partner of seven years, Sharna McTavish, said she was devastated to be planning a funeral, not their wedding.

She shared the happy memories of how they met online, their reactions to both of their daughters and the little moments from her time with Steve.

"He was such a happy, calm and genuine man who always made me laugh," Ms McTavish said.

"We had fun no matter what we did ... we had an instant bond.

"Not long after we moved in together, I found out we were pregnant ... he made me realise as long as I was with him, he would make me feel safe and protected."

Ms McTavish said from the day their daughters were born Steve was smitten with Aleeya, 5, and Ashlyn, 3.

"The night you left this earth, you took a part of me that will never be replaced," she said.

"Steven, you gave me the best years of my life, and I will be forever grateful.

"I hope you are looking down at smiling us right now ... until we meet again, just know I love you with everything my king."

His mother Karen Huntley told the congregation she would always remember Steve as her little man.

"He lived with me until he was almost 23 and with his [four] sisters," she said.

"He was a really good brother. They would call him Daddy Steven. He loved everybody."

Alex Schreiber, his older brother, in his eulogy, said it was too hard to fit 30 years of brotherhood into a few minutes.

"We went to eight different schools ... it forced us to be close together, and we were best mates," he said.

"Every recess and lunch, we wouldn't have friends so we would sit with each other."

Alex said at one lunch, a group of young children came over to ask Steve to play, but only Steve.

"Steve didn't like that, and he refused to go, he wasn't going to play," he said.

"It took me lying to him [to say I had friends] because he wouldn't back down and he wouldn't leave me alone.

"He always had my back, his whole life."

Alex said he knew from the way Steve treated his younger sisters that he was born to be a dad.

Following the eulogies, a video tribute to the loving father was played before Steve's coffin was carried by pallbearers that included his dad, brother and friends.
