Alex Trebek hosted “Jeopardy!” for 37 years, drawing generations of fans over the years. When he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, he continued to tape the show until he died.

In March, Nicky Trebek paid tribute to her father in another Instagram post and reflected on his bravery for opening up about his disease with his fans around the world.

“It was 2 years ago today while we were working on the @jeopardy set that my dad bravely stepped out in front of the camera to announce he had been diagnosed with #pancreaticcancer,” she wrote. “He brought much-needed awareness to this terrible disease and provided #hope to so many struggling. I’m beyond proud of him for his courage and integrity throughout his illness.”
