Mr Karos is survived by his wife Trudi and three daughters Lili, Lexi and Indi.
Friends Ali and Cal Davidson from Burleigh Heads gym Elevation Fitness described Mr Karos as the life of the party in a tribute posted online. He was larger than life, ALWAYS ready for a chat, would do anything for anyone and befriended anyone he came across, the post said. AK is also family to Cal and I and our boys and we are absolutely devastated to lose such an amazing friend.
Mr Karos was seen floating unconscious in the water at Minnie Water Beach, near Grafton(Google Maps)
