Miranda Hart—who starred in the series Miranda, which aired in Britain between 2009 and 2015—shared a sweet tribute to MacIntosh, who had guest starred on the sitcom.
“Thank you Ewen for making me laugh,” she wrote over an image of the comedian in a Feb. 21 Instagram post, adding in her caption, “We were the same age and crossed paths many times as we did our best to be funny and make a living out of it. It wasn’t always likely but we did it and I am glad we got to do a scene together. Thank you xx.”
Ed Scott, a music executive, also paid tribute to his late friend and the legacy MacIntosh left behind.
“I am completely devastated by the loss of my very good friend,” he tweeted. “He may have had a famous face known by millions as Keith from The Office but the person inside is what I will most remember.”
He continued of MacIntosh, “Ewen was so full of empathy, kindness, and integrity and above all a really good man. Sending love to his parents Sara and Ewen Sr, his brother Colin and his family, as well as his many friends and fans.”
