Dean Carl Evans, from Reading, was hailed a "martyr" after dying in a bloody battle in Manbij in the Aleppo district of Syria
A British man has been killed fighting ISIS after travelling to the Middle East to wage war against the jihadis.
Brave Dean Carl Evans, 22, from Reading, died in a firefight alongside Kurdish forces in Manbij in the Aleppo district of Syria.
His death was confirmed by his father John Evans.
In a statement on Facebook, he said: "My son Dean Carl Evans born on 7/10/93 sadly was killed in Syria on Friday.
"He was loved and will be missed by all his family and friends rip son xx xx."
He added: "I would like to say a massive big thank you to all my friends and family who sent there condolence for the loss of my son.
"He would have been very proud and would have regarded you all as his brothers and sisters, thank you again."
Kurdish fighters also paid tribute to Mr Evans and a Slovenian man who was also killed in battle.
One read: "Both warriors were revolutionary and combative spirits in the front lines.
"They fought without hesitation to protect the people of this region."
A video was also posted online by Kurd supporters in tribute to Mr Evans in which he is seen firing weapons on the battlefield.
In it, he reveals how he lost his mother four years ago and tells how his fellow fighters in Syria had accepted him as part of the family.
It is believed Dean was a member of International Brigades of Rojava, an volunteer group fighting the terror fanatics in northern Syria.
He fought with the YPG, also known as the People's Protection Units, a unit of highly trained Kurdish soldiers.
Konstandinos Erik Scurfield became the first Briton to die fighting the terror group when he was killed in battle in March last year.
Around 100 western volunteers are believed to have joined Kurdish forces in Syria.
