“No words can describe the pain of our loss.”
“Adam and Katrina were living their best lives together. Their shared love of family and friends, travel and sport - if not always the same team - made their time together truly special.
“Adam’s loves in life were his English Premier League football team Liverpool, his AFL team the Sydney Swans, the NRL’s Manly Sea Eagles and his beloved pets.
“We will forever cherish the time we have had with him.”
His family has remembered the father as a “generous and kind person who will be dearly missed and is forever irreplaceable.”
The emotional statement ended with the motto of Liverpool Football Club - “you’ll never walk alone”.
Mr Smyth was one of many victims to be identified in recent days.
Ten-year-old Matilda was the youngest of 16 casualties from the callous attack.
A further 17 people remain in hospitals across Sydney receiving treatment for their injuries. Five of those are in a critical condition.
