A Butler dad, savagely bashed and left for dead only metres from his home, has said he has no memory of the attack.

Shane Lyons was found covered in blood and unconscious by a passerby on Friday night after he walked home from his mate's house towards his Benenden Avenue home.

The 30-year-old suffered a broken jaw, a shattered eye socket, swelling and bleeding on the brain.

He later had surgery to insert metal plates into his face.

"I'm just really upset and I feel sorry for Shane and I'm so angry that somebody could so this," she told 9 News Perth.

"He did not deserve this... I mean no one deserves it, but Shane definitely does not deserve it."
