A father of two has reportedly died in Alabama after contracting the UK variant of COVID-19, amid mounting panic in the U.S as the new variant continues to gain currency across 33 States in the country.
As gathered by EKO HOT BLOG, Alfonzia Jackson Jr., 35, was diagnosed with the B.1.1.7 variant earlier last week while struggling to live at the UAB hospital.
His death was announced by his wife, Ashley Jackson via a Facebook post on February 2, 2021 at about 9pm local time.
‘Lord this day has been hard,’ Ashley posted on Facebook. ‘I wouldn’t wish this on anyone as I said good bye to my amazing husband.’
‘Our girls are going to truly miss you, you were an amazing dad and I will keep your memory alive through them and they will always remember you.
‘You are now our guardian Angel and you are at peace, rest on my amazing husband until we meet again.’

Ashley also posted an emotional tribute featuring pictures and videos of the family, which she entitled ‘I’ll Be Missing You.’
WBRC previously reported Alfonzia Jackson’s case, whom his wife said was admitted to the hospital having exhibited COVID-19 symptoms and shortness of breath on January 22, despite her having no knowledge how he contracted the virus.
‘My husband just went to work and home,’ Ashley Jackson said. ‘Gas station here and there. Not nothing like going out and having a good time, just a hardworking man.’
Rapid tests showed a negative diagnosis for COVID-19, but after surgery to relieve heart failure, a PCR test showed that Alfonzia did have COVID-19.
