Mrs Baird said her brother was her ‘first ever friend’ and is now her ‘guardian angel’
Ms Baird shared her sentiments on Friday evening after hundreds of people gathered in Sydney to remember her brother and his new partner ahead of Mardi Gras.
She said her brother was her’very first friend,” who showed me “the importance of being myself (and) pushing me to achieve my goals and helping me believe that anything is possible.”
“No words will ever be enough for the sadness we all feel. You were truly the most inspiring, influential, caring and loving person,” she wrote.
“You were the bright light in the room, the show pony, the first and the last on the dance floor, and as I sit here writing this with tears streaming, I can’t help but grin and giggle at the memories that remain.”

She added that Mr Baird achieved an “unforgettable” amount of money during his lifetime, while remaining humble and always putting others first.
“The mark you have left on the world is unforgettable and I promise to continue the legacy you have built,” she continued.
‘Really: everything you touched turned to gold. The only person I know who celebrated others’ victories more than their own champion and everyone else’s.
‘Your passion and love for life were inspiring, you were unique, you were humble, you were loyal, but most of all: you were kind.
“I will miss your impersonations, hearing your voice pop up on the TV, your smile and the way you can change the atmosphere in the room just by being there.
“I will now forever search the sky for the brightest star, the colorful rainbows and the butterflies fluttering about, and I will know that it is you who hold me up.”

The bodies of Mr Baird and Mr Davies were discovered in Bungonia, in NSW’s Southern Tablelands, on Wednesday, five days after Lamarre-Condon turned himself in at Bondi police station.
Lamarre-Condon, a former celebrity hunter who posted photos of himself with international stars on social media, was confronted at Waverley Local Court that afternoon when he was represented by a lawyer from the Legal Aid Commission and did not apply for bail.
A moment of silence will be observed during Sydney’s Mardi Gras on Saturday evening in honor of Mr Baird and Mr Davies.
