Liam Mullan, 19, was killed when the Holden Commodore he was driving rammed into a tree on Hoskintown Road, east of Queanbeyan, last Thursday.
Paramedics attended but he died at the scene.
His mother, father and sister characterised him as an "extraordinary son" who will be remembered for his "loving kindness, gentleness and wonderful sense of humour", in a funeral notice published in The Canberra Times on Wednesday.
"The light you brought into all our lives will be celebrated and remembered forever," they said.
"The pain of your death is indescribable. You were taken so suddenly and too soon.
"'Til we meet again our boy: smile often, laugh loudly and blame the dog. We love you."
Mr Mullan graduated from Daramalan College in Dickson last year. His younger sister also attended the school.
A statement from the school described him as a "hard-working student who was always willing to help others and provide support whenever it was needed".
"He was highly regarded by his peers and the staff.
"We ask that you keep Liam and his family in your thoughts and prayers at this very sad time."
His former principal Rita Daniels said the school's seniors held a prayer service for Liam and his family last Friday.
"He was always willing to put his hand up to assist any other students in the school or in the setting up of events, very generous with his time. He was just a fine, hard-working young man. He was an all-round good person," she said.
His funeral will be held in Queanbeyan on Friday.
