Melvin and Adrian Daulby, 53, were killed in yesterday’s devastating attack outside Heaton Park synagogue in Manchester.
Both were standing behind the barricaded doors and are thought to have helped efforts to stop the suspect from getting in.
Attacker Jihad Al-Shamie was armed with a knife and not a gun – with the only shots fired coming from the police.
In a heartwarming tribute, released through Greater Manchester Police, his family said: “Melvin would do anything to help anyone.
“He was so kind, caring and always wanted to chat and get to know people.
“He was devoted to his wife, family and loved his food. He will be sorely missed by his wife, family, friends and community.
“We ask for privacy as we try to come to terms with this shocking loss.”
Before cops shot him, the terrorist had rammed his car into a crowd of people.
He then launched a frantic knife rampage injuring four and killing two – while wearing a fake “bomb vest”.
Earlier today, Adrian’s family paid tribute to the “down to earth man whose final act was to save others”.
They said: “Adrian Daulby was a hero and tragically lost his life in the act of courage to save others.
“He was a beloved brother, loving uncle to his four nieces and one nephew and a cherished cousin.
“The family is shocked by the tragic, sudden death of such a lovely down to earth man.
“His final act was one of profound courage and he will forever be remembered for his heroic act on Thursday 2 October 2025.”
