HE WAS a talented rugby union player who loved his family and dreamed of serving his country.
Dylan Daure, who was training in NSW to become an army combat engineer, was enjoying a Christmas break with his family and was due to return to work tomorrow.
However, funeral plans are now being made for the 19-year-old.
Yesterday his family said Dylan's final moments may always remain a mystery.
The body of the Sunshine Coast teen, who never made it home from the pub on Saturday morning, was found next to a fence in a vacant block of land at Buderim on New Year's Day.
Dylan, who was born in Port Moresby, left the Buderim Tavern with a relative about 12.30am on Saturday.
They began walking home but the relative returned to the tavern to find a taxi for the pair. When he returned, Dylan was gone.
Dylan's clothes were found near Buderim Mountain State School on Saturday.
His uncle and neighbour eventually found his body near bushland off Ballinger Court, just 500m from the school, on Tuesday.
Sunshine Coast CIB chief Daren Edwards said police did not know why Dylan had died but that he may have fallen while trying to climb the fence.
"There were no visible injuries so it could have been positional asphyxiation," he said.
Dylan's grandfather, Noel Gibson, said they had searched that area at the weekend.
"Unfortunately, we gave it a cursory search but not a finite search," he said.
"We could have saved two days of anguish of not knowing. We all agree that the thing we're thankful of is that we found him."
Dylan's pilot father, Travis Gibson, was in Florida when he got the call that his son was missing.
It took two days to get home to comfort his devastated wife, Mabel - a well-known Papua New Guinea beauty queen - and their two other sons Kane, 13, and Taula, 24.
"There was still hope that we'd just find him somewhere but then I didn't really want to find him in the end (out of fear of what might have happened)," Mr Gibson said.

Dylan, who attended Sunshine Coast Grammar, dropped his dad at the airport a week ago.
"He gave me three big hugs," Mr Gibson said.
"That's what I'll remember - the last time I saw him."
Taula, a recovery mechanic from the Combat Service Support Battalion based in Townsville, said his little brother had found his calling.
"Dyl found out in August that he got through and he was ecstatic and focused on getting fit for Kapooka (an army recruit training centre in NSW)," he said.
Dylan's family planned to take him home to Milne Bay in Papua New Guinea to be buried with family.
