Family and friends pay touching tributes to Munster crash victim Jose Garces, 14 Family and friends of Jose Garces have paid tribute to the 14 year old who died when he and his girlfriend were hit by a car. FAMILY and friends have paid touching tributes to promising young teenage footballer Jose Garces, who died when he and his girlfriend were hit by a car in Munster. Jose, 14, and his girlfriend Emmie Millson, also 14, were walking hand-in-hand at about midnight on Australia Day when they were struck by a Ford Falcon while crossing the road at the intersection of Stock Road and Beeliar Drive in Perth's southern suburbs. Jose Garces and Emmie Millson. Jose's brother Sam Garces fought back tears as he remembered his little brother, who had dreams of playing in the AFL. He was with Jose just two hours before the tragedy. "He caught my bus, I got off and I said 'keep safe'," he told Nine News. I miss everything about him, he's just a perfect kid. Mr Garces said Jose was most likely looking out for his girlfriend. "Just him being there for her ... just looking out for her, I always looked out for him," Mr Garces said in tears. Friends of the popular teen visited the crash scene today to pay their respects. A memorial is planned for the coming weeks. Alex Merendino said Jose was "always caring." " (He would) always be the one to come up to you and say 'how you going', if you were down, he'd always be there for you," he said. Emmie remains in hospital in a stable condition. Her family has reportedly told her that Jose did not survive. The young couple were celebrating Australia Day and were reportedly on their way to a party in a park near Munster when disaster struck. Jose was training with the East Fremantle Sharks development squad and his brother believed he had the ability to play in the WAFL and AFL. Football coach Jeremy Bruse said Jose was an "extremely tough player." "I don't think I've ever seen a player who's as hard at it as him, it's very rare you see someone who makes that ball their number one objective," he said. The driver of the car stopped to help at the scene, as did several passing motorists. Jose died at the scene, while Emmie was taken to Princess Margaret Hospital with serious injuries. Friends have described Jose as a "beautiful boy" on Facebook in a series of heartfelt tributes.
