Alex Trebek
Legendary Jeopardy-host! A year before Alex Trebek announced pancreatic cancer. Luckily, that gave his fans time to appreciate what they had in the host and prepare for what would be an unimaginable loss for all. During the pandemic, Trebek said he spent the last year of his life doing small house projects, as he was too immune to leave. At age 80, he was surrounded by his family and a small gathering of friends as he passed. Trebek wrote about his memoir hopes for his legacy. “I’d like to be remembered first of all as a good and loving husband and father, and also as a decent man who did his best to help people perform at their best,” he wrote. “I’ll be perfectly content if that’s how my story ends: sitting on the swing with the woman I love … my wonderful children nearby.”
