Darren Counter felt pain in his leg which quickly developed into necrotising fasciitis, which sadly killed him 36 hours later
Heartfelt tributes have been paid to a devoted father and "unsung hero" of his community after he died suddenly from a rare flesh-eating disease. Darren Carter, 53, from Countesthorpe, passed away on February 13 from necrotising fasciitis, the Leicester Mercury reports.
The much-loved man worked night shifts for Royal Mail but always put his family first. He and Dawn, who is a registered nurse, would work opposite shifts throughout the pandemic to ensure their two sons and extended family were being looked after. Darren was also a big Leicester City FC supporter and always enjoyed watching sports with a drink in his hand beside his family. He dedicated the last 20 years of his life to grassroots football, where he became involved with the Whetstone Juniors FC when his eldest son Rhys, then aged eight, wanted to join.
Darren's oldest son Rhys, 24 is now a qualified coach with a degree in sports management and hopes to get his own son playing soon while Drew, 20 enjoys supporting the team from the sidelines.
