Hundreds gathered at a memorial in Melbourne today to farewell Jesse Baird, who was allegedly murdered alongside his partner Luke Davies at a home in Paddington.

Around 350 people attended today's service in South Morang, with Jesse's mother Helen Baird leading the tributes.

"My heart is broken my darling boy, and I love you more than this world," she said.

"There will never be another you."

Jesse Baird's mother and father, his brother, and his two sisters remembered Jesse as a champion water skier, an AFL goal umpire, and a TV presenter.

Baird's colleague at Channel 10 said he was a talent with an enormous future.

Daniel Doody said Baird "was more than a co-worker, he was a brother, a best mate."

"Just like all your live on-air appearances, I wish there was more time."

Jesse Baird's partner Luke Davies will be remembered in a similar service in Brisbane next month.

Their alleged killer, then a serving NSW police officer, Beau Lamarre Condon will face court in Sydney in April.
