The heartbroken neighbour of a father and son who died in when they were hit by a car on a morning walk to get ice cream has recalled his final moments with the pair. 

Braiden Ashley Timmins, 33, and his four-year-old son Hendrix-Hemi Te Rongomau King were heading to a 7-Eleven service station in Regents Park, a suburb in the city of Logan, south of Brisbane, on Sunday.

The pair were walking along Green Road when a white dual cab utility struck them shortly after 11am. 

Derek O’Malley, who has lived next door to the family for more than five years, recalled waving them off as he would nearly every other day.  

‘I see Braiden almost every day. We always wave to each other. He was walking past the house with his son. He (Mr Timmins) said they were on their way to get an ice cream, Mr O’Malley told the Courier-Mail. 

‘I said ”Oh that’s great” you know, ”Have a great day”.’

He said Mr Timmins was holding his son’s hand while little Hendrix rode his pink toddler bicycle alongside him. 

Mr O’Malley was later on the way home from his own trip into town when he spotted Hendrix’s pink bicycle ‘crushed’ on the ground beside the crash site.

It wasn’t until he heard a cry from inside the house next-door, however, that he realised Mr Timmins and his son had been involved in the crash. 

‘I didn’t put the two and two together, and then I went outside and started talking to (Mr Timmin’s stepfather) and went ”oh my god, I just went past it”. 

‘I didn’t think it’d be Braiden and his son, because I couldn’t see Braiden. 

‘We continued talking and he asked if the bike was pink and I said yes it was, and he’s gone ”shit”. 

 ‘It’s still hard to believe they’re gone,’ he added.

Loved ones have launched a GoFundMe campaign to support Hendrix’s grieving mother in giving the toddler the ‘farewell he deserves’. 

‘Hendrix was full of joy, cheeky grins, and boundless love. He lit up every room he entered and brought so much happiness to his family and friends,’ it reads. 

‘His life was cut far too short, and we are left heartbroken, struggling to comprehend a world without him.’
