THE wife of a Perth man on board a missing Malaysia Airlines jet is praying for a miracle that he will return home safely.
The Malaysia Airlines plane was carrying 239 people, including six Australians and two New Zealanders from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared from radar screens over the South China Sea on Saturday.
Paul Weeks, a 39-year-old mechanical engineer, was travelling to Mongolia for his first shift in a fly-in-fly-out job.
His emotional wife, Danica, said on Sunday she was desperately waiting for news of him.
"I can't give up hope. I would love him to walk through that door, hold him one more time," she told the Nine Network in Perth.
She said he left his wedding ring and watch at home.
"(He said) 'If something should happen to me then the wedding ring should go to the first son that gets married and then the watch to the second'," she said.
The couple have a three-year-old son, Lincoln, and a 10-month-old son, Jack.
Mr Weeks was born in New Zealand and moved to WA with his young family in 2011, following the devastating Christchurch earthquakes.
His LinkedIn profile shows he had been working with MTU Detroit Diesel Australia in WA and previously, as a vehicle mechanic for the New Zealand army for more than five years.
Mr Weeks was listed as one of two New Zealand passengers despite now living in Australia.
His older sister, Sara, said all the family in New Zealand remained hopeful for good news, but were preparing themselves for the worst.
"When Danica kissed him goodbye, she was hoping he would be back in a month," she told Fairfax.
Other friends and family have used social media to post tributes.
Emma Brosnahan wrote: "Such a sad day, still praying for you Pauly and hoping miracles do happen. Sending Danica Weeks & the boys as much love & strength as we can possibly muster."
Rebecca Rousselle posted: "So sad to hear this tragic news of such a great guy and an old friend. My heart goes out to his family, I can't imagine how devastating this must be and just want to send my love."
Mr Weeks told The Press newspaper in 2012 he left New Zealand because of recessionary pressure, high food prices and continuing aftershocks in Christchurch.
