HE WAS a loving and doting father, working on an extension to cater for the latest addition to his young family when tragedy struck.
On June 14, Paul Fenwick – better known as "Podgie" by his family and friends – was photographed hard at work at his family's east Hull home.
On July 1, he was putting finishing touches to the 23ft by 14ft extension when he fell headfirst from scaffolding onto concrete below.
Paul died instantly, the tragedy witnessed by his two-year-old son, Noah, and other family members.
His partner Ixchel Morris, 28, had weeks earlier given birth to their second child, Emilia Chloe.
"Look at that picture of him on the roof," said his father, also called Paul, speaking at his home in Bideford Grove, east Hull.
"He's King of the Castle. He looks proud."
Paul had been on paternity leave from Dove House Hospice, in east Hull, where he was employed as a maintenance officer, when he scaled the scaffolding to lay the final bricks.
Today, the family are mourning their "cheeky chappy", but also celebrating the life of a much-loved man who strove to help others.
"He was a great dad," said Mr Fenwick. "He was made up when Emilia was born. He now had one of each – a boy and a girl."
Paul's caring side showed five years ago when he joined Dove House Hospice, in Chamberlain Road, east Hull, as a volunteer care assistant.
"Podgie loved the people there," said Mr Fenwick. "He would go in and sit with patients when they wanted company.
"He would read to them or fetch things from the shops for them."
Two years ago, his commitment was rewarded when he was offered the post of maintenance officer for the charity.
It enabled him to put his practical skills to good use.
"Podgie was one of those people who just wanted to make life better for people," said Mr Fenwick.
"He had a strong Christian faith and wanted to make a difference to the lives of the people around him.
"He would get really passionate about the things he cared about."
Mr Fenwick says the family have sought comfort in the fact that his son's death was rapid.
"We are devastated by what's happened, but we have to recognise that we all have to die," he said.
"And there was no better way for him to have gone. We all believe that. That is helping us get through this,
"He did not suffer. He died happy, doing something he was good at.
"Ixchel's parents, who are from Mexico, were over here to help her and Podgie with the baby.
"They have been able to help her take care of things."
Marie Fenwick, one of Paul's three sisters, said he was every inch the protective big brother.
"He would always be trying to play dad with us all," she said.
"He really loving, full of life and always very cheeky."
Paul's step-mother, Lorraine, said he would often donate money for orphaned African children.
"He was such a happy guy," she said. "Whenever he and his partner had a bit of spare cash they would donate it to Shine Release, which helps orphans in Africa.
"He was feeling guilty because with the new arrival and the extension he wasn't able to send anything.
"But he was planning to do some fundraising."
Mr Fenwick said the family wished to thank Humberside Police, in particular, PC Paul Wallace, the family liaison officer.
"We will forever be in debt to this man," he said. "The police do not get enough praise, especially the family liaison officers.
"PC Wallace is helping put us on the right road.
"He has convinced us all that we can get through this. His support has been exceptional. I never knew this type of support existed."
Tributes from colleagues at Dove House STAFF at Dove House Hospice in Chamberlain Road, east Hull, where Paul Fenwick worked, have spoken of their sadness. Anna Wolkowski, the charity's chief executive, said: "All of the staff and volunteers here at the hospice were shocked and deeply saddened to hear of Paul's death. "Paul was a part of our hospice family and we will miss his enthusiasm, cheerfulness and caring nature greatly. "Paul first became involved with the hospice when he volunteered as a care assistant in 2009. "He was gentle and understanding and never failed to turn up with a smile on his face, which brought joy and comfort to our patients and their families. "In 2012, Paul was employed by Dove House as a retail maintenance officer, a new role, which he made his own. Among the many things he achieved, it is thanks to him that the new shops we opened looked so fantastic. "In working with so many staff and volunteers across the hospice's 34 shops, warehouse and hospice site, Paul became a valued colleague and a friend to many and I have no doubt he will be very sadly missed. "We are supporting our staff at this difficult time."
