His girlfriend Lashana Poulter said she was struggling to process the 27-year-old's death and was 'taking things a minute at a time'.
'It still feels like a horrible dream... I love you so much babe. I hope you know just how much you meant to me. Nothing is ever going to change that,' she said.
'You were there for me when I needed you the most and I have no idea how I am going to survive without you.
'We had so many plans for our future but now they will never come to be and that cuts me so deep. I love you Axel with all of my heart and I know that you are still watching over us.

Mr Boreski was an aspiring illustrator who was due to start TAFE next semester, and is survived by four-year-old daughter Summer, and three-year-old stepson Dallas.
'He was a loving father and stepfather, he was the sort of person who would do anything to help others. He would give the shirt off his back if need be,' Ms Poulter said.

Mr Boreski's father said his son did not go out often and when he did he would sometimes ask his dad for a lift home, but did not that night as he knew his father was having car troubles.
A GoFundMe page has raised more than $2,000 for this funeral expenses so far.
Homicide detectives cordoned off the street where Mr Boreski was killed, and police divers were soon called in.
Divers trawled a nearby canal under a bridge looking for evidence, although it is unclear whether they were searching for a murder weapon.
Two men in their 20s were questioned about the attack on Saturday but only one man was charged so far.
