‘Putting your lil namesake to sleep last night just broke me knowing he’s now going to grow up not knowing his father.
‘I promise you that we will love your kids as our own and keep your memory alive.
‘You had a heart of gold and would give the shirt off your back for anyone… Hold your loved ones close as tomorrow is never promised.’
A silver 2000s model Holden Commodore with a black bonnet used as a getaway car in the murder could help police track down his killers.
A neigbour told the Courier Mail Mr Anderson was ‘just trying to protect his family’.
‘(Mr Anderson and his girlfriend) were a young couple very much in love and engaged,’ another neighbour said.
‘A family has been torn apart.’

Police believe four men arrived at the home in the car about 4pm on Saturday and approached Mr Anderson.
They went inside before an argument started and a single gunshot was heard.
Mr Anderson chased the four men out of the house towards the Holden. Another scuffle broke out before the father was shot in the chest.
The car was driven off and Mr Anderson died of a single gunshot wound not long after.
Detectives are appealing for anyone who has seen the car, which has black rims, not to approach but to contact them.
