Tommy Jarvis, 21, was taken to hospital in a critical condition after the crash involving a e-scooter and fire engine on Princes Road at the junction with Darenth Road just before 10.45pm on last Monday (May 25).
He then died days later on Wednesday (May 27).
His close friend Lily May Lee has said Tommy was “surrounded by so much unconditional love” during his final days in hospital as his family stayed by his side.
In a fundraiser set up, she said: “We are now trying to navigate a loss that no family should ever have to endure.
“Anyone who knew Tommy knows just how special he was.
“He was the biggest smile in every room, the loudest laugh, the friend who could lift your spirits no matter what kind of day you were having.
“He was kind, caring, loyal, and loved by so many. There will never, ever be another Tommy like him.”
According to the fundraiser, Tommy has left an “unfillable void” in the hearts of his family and loved ones.
The page has been set up in hopes to raise £5,000 to go towards a church service to Tommy.

Funds raised will go towards the funeral and service including cremation, flowers, hearse, funeral and family cars, wake services and other expenses.
The fundraiser concluded: “Losing someone is heartbreaking enough without the added worry of financial pressures.
“No family should have to carry the burden of funeral costs whilst trying to process such a devastating loss.
“We hope this fundraiser can ease some of that weight and allow us as Tommy’s friends and family to focus on remembering and celebrating the incredible person he was.”
