Family and friends of 19-year-old Melbourne tradie Davide Pollina have remembered him as a young man with a “huge heart” at a funeral in Brunswick.

Hundreds gathered for the service, which paid tribute to the young man in speeches, prayers and song.

“Davide was a mature, responsible man with a huge heart and he will always be missed,” one mourner said.

“Davide wanted to live his life, make sure I was happy. He would always make me laugh,” another said.

Outside, an extended concrete pumper formed a final salute to the tradie, whose workmates also attended the funeral.

The teenager accused of being behind the wheel of the stolen BMW when it hit and killed Pollina was granted bail last week.

Pollina’s family expressed their dismay, just days after parliament voted to strengthen bail laws and crack down on young offenders.

They told 9News they were disappointed the alleged driver was granted bail and fear he’ll re-offend.

Pollina will be cremated and his ashes taken back home to Italy.

The teenager will face a children’s court next month.
