THE VICTIMS

ROOZBI ARAGHI, 38, CANBERRA ROOZI was a “very popular and wellregarded” member of the Australian Bureau of Statistics communications team in Canberra.

The partner of fellow victim Luke Dorsett for almost 10 years, he had also been a contributor to a LGBTI website, interviewing stars like Boy George and Jessica Mauboy.

Labor Senator Sam Dastyari, who grew up with Roozi, said: “I’m devastated that such a caring, loving, sweet and sensitive friend has been lost.”

LUKE DORSETT, 35, CANBERRA LUKE’S uncle told mourners at his funeral that his nephew had once left Canberra for Perth with no real meaning in his life.

Upon his return, he met Roozi Araghi and his life changed forever.

Partners for nearly a decade, the couple owned a house in Canberra where Luke worked in the Department of Health Services’ health programs office.

The pair was on the ride with Luke’s sister, Kate, and 12-year-old niece Ebony when tragedy struck.

CINDY LOW, 42, NSW CENTRAL COAST Cindy was on the ill-fated ride with her 10-year-old son, Kieran, who was miraculously thrown clear when the raft flipped.

Husband Mathew and their six-year-old daughter, Isla, were in another part of the theme park when the accident occurred.

Originally from New Zealand, Cindy met her husband in Auckland in 1997 before travelling the world and eventually settling in Australia.

“Mat was her soul, Kieran and Isla her heart,” her aunt said at her funeral.

KATE GOODCHILD, 32, CANBERRA KATE’S death has devastated her partner of 15 years, Dave Turner, and their daughters — 12-year-old Ebony and eight-month-old Evie.

Ebony was with her mother on the raft when it flipped, while Dave was watching on with Evie in his arms and rushed to his dying partner’s side.

Mourners at her funeral heard that Kate, who worked for the Department of Human Services, would do anything for anyone.

“Nothing was ever too much for Kate,” her uncle said.
