The 45-year-old, from Peterhead, passed away on Sunday after being rushed to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Sunday.
Tributes have been paid to a “fit and healthy” Scots postie who tragically died after contracting COVID-19.
Alexander Fenty, who was known as Akie to his loved ones, fell ill at the weekend and was rushed to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Sunday.
The 45-year-old, who lived in Peterhead with his family, could not be saved and passed away a short time later.
His heartbroken partner Lisa Masson confirmed the devastating news and issued a plea for people to follow the COVID-19 government advice.
She said: “Akie 45 yr old postie, fit and healthy taken away on Sunday night by this horrible disease COVID19.
“My partner and love of 20 yrs, a dad to our amazing daughter Abby who is 15, we have lost him forever and life will never be the same again.
“Do not think this disease won’t affect you as it can/will. Follow the instructions given!
“Help NHS, stay inside, save lives.”
Her post has since been shared more than 3000 times on Facebook.
Akie, who was also known as Zaz, has been described as a “gentleman” who was “one of life’s good guys” by heartbroken friends.
One said: “Can’t stop thinking of you both! He certainly was one of life’s good guys. Sending our love.”
Another added: “Heartbreaking such a gentleman, will be a big void at Royal Mail without him there thinking of you all.”
A third said: “Your husband, dad was the happiest of posties, always a smile on his face. A few of us on our street heard the sad news and we all have a heavy heart.”
A funeral notice for the dad-of-one read: “Very suddenly, after a short illness, at Accident & Emergency, Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Sunday April 5th 2020.
