The crash happened on Boundary Road at Wacol in the city's south-west.
"He was a big, kind-hearted person who loved his family," his sister Lauren told 9News
"I'll remember him adoring my niece and my daughter. He loved her more than anything."
Mr Grafton was in the car with his friend Amelia Vinden, 26, and Uber driver Hussein Ali Mohamed, 46, when they were T-boned at 2.15am by the driver of a stolen Ford Mondeo.
Both the others are in a stable condition in hospital.
Instead of stopping to help the driver ran away in what police have described as a "despicable act".
