A 23-year-old man who died on a southern Queensland street after an altercation has been remembered as a loving father.

Emergency services rushed to the scene where they worked on Roberts, but he was unable to be saved.

Mr Roberts’ sister Ruth said the father would “literally give you the shirt off his back”.

“He was the best father, son, brother, and uncle,” she said.

“He adored his son, he made a nice life for himself.”

Police spent the morning taking statements from witnesses and local business owners.
