Trevor and Lorraine Breen, pillars of a country community, were tragically lost in a split second on the Hume Freeway, along with Trevor's sister Kerry Capes and her husband Noel.
The two couples spent their early lives in the NSW town of Lake Cargellico, six and a half hours north-east of Melbourne.
Noel had recently returned to area to work in farming, while Trevor and Lorraine had moved to Wagga Wagga.
Life-long friend of the two couples, Paul Phillips, paid tribute to them all on Saturday as plans for a memorial in their hometown begin.
"People we can't afford to lose – as simple as that, wonderful people," Phillips told 9News.
"To lose four people who had the community standing that they did, in this area, is nothing less than devastating."
Victoria Police have said a moment of inattention may have led to the loss of the four lives after their car collided with a B-double truck near Chiltern around 10.30am on Thursday.
"After the community heard about it, Friday was a dead day in Lake Cargellico," Phillips told 9News.
"We'll certainly have something to remember them by, no question or doubt about that at all."
