The crime reporter died of his injuries after one bullet hit him in the head.
“Peter has lived by his conviction: ‘On bended knee is no way to be free,'” the family statement said.
“We are unbelievably proud of him and at the same time inconsolable.”
Police said De Vries was shot in Lange Leidsedwarsstraat, close to a large public square in Amsterdam.
The attack happened after he made a regular appearance on a current affairs television show.
Two suspects have been detained in connection with the shooting, on 6 July.
De Vries is one of the Netherland’s best-known crime reporters and has won critical acclaim for his fearless reporting on the Dutch underworld – including the 1983 kidnap of beer magnate, Freddy Heineken.
