The family of a Liverpool fan stabbed to death say he was "vulnerable - because his heart was just too big".
Mikhail Hanid, 47, died after an incident in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset on Saturday.
Police say he suffered a number of stab wounds and was rushed to hospital in nearby Bristol - where he sadly died earlier this week.
His family have now paid a touching tribute to Mikhail in a statement.
They said: "Mikhail has been taken from us and life will never be the same again. He was a kind and gentle person, who loved being with people.
"He connected with others on such a deep level, that words were not always needed. He was also very spiritual with a keen interest in both Buddhist and Christian faiths.
"Mikhail was a friend to all. Your problem was his problem and he couldn’t stand by and see someone suffering, because he had been there and knew your pain.
"Often that left him vulnerable, but his heart was just too big.
"He connected with people through music. He loved bringing people together as a DJ - house music in particular.
"He just loved looking over the record decks and seeing that what he was creating was bringing a little joy to people’s lives.
"He also loved football, Liverpool Football Club in particular and he was very fond of animals, especially dogs.
"Mikhail loved his mother. He loved being with her and giving her the joy of spoiling him and looking after him.
"Mikhail was a proud uncle to a little niece and nephew. Mikhail was our little brother."
Four men have been arrested on suspicion of his murder, aged 27, 30, 31 and 56. They remain in custody.
Detectives said a man, 30, was previously arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender but has since been released under investigation.
