The much-loved TV figure had been battling stage 4 pancreatic cancer since revealing the news back in March last year.
Despite the diagnosis, Trebek had no intent to retire and valiantly continued hosting ‘Jeopardy.’
Our thoughts are with his family.
Very sad news 😞 An ICON…prayers to his family and friends 🙏🏽
2020 can officially F off. RIP Alex.
Also, TGJ, F y’all. After posting this, you put the earlier post about Beyoncé back at the top?! This takes priority over Beyonce. So tacky and so rude and so distasteful. Honor this man properly
Time to go. 👋
my he rests in peace.
I watch Jeopardy every day and i’m truly heartbroken.
We’ve loss some of the greatest souls to ever walk the earth this year and the Icon Alex Trebek is definitely one of them.
R.I.P. Alex Trebek, you were an icon and will always be remembered!!!
I was totally shocked to have read this! He seemed like a really cool guy with so much more life in him. He did say he wasn’t going to fight it anymore and wasn’t going to take chemo. He let go and G0d took him away. He will truly be missed.
