He told Daily Mail Australia : "He had all the time in the world for other people.
"Quite often she would get home a few hours late from work and you would find out it was because one of her co-workers was having a hard time, so she had stayed to chat with them.
"Her passion for other people, it was never too much. I know people say that a lot about their loved ones - but that was who she was."
Mr Jones went on to explain how his daughter suffered from several neurological conditions which left her living in pain.
But despite this, he continued in saying she had a "love for life" and never let on to others about her health struggles - despite her health slowly deteriorating.
After being hit by the vehicle, Breanna's boyfriend arrived to the driveway minutes later and found her dead.
