Alex Trebek was a beloved television host, a consistent force for kindness and a household name throughout his many decades in the public eye, and people all over the world — including in Toronto — are now mourning his death. 

The iconic Jeopardy! host passed away this weekend after a lengthy battle with pancreatic cancer at the age of 80, and fans of the Canadian TV personality have been paying tribute to him ever since. 

• Host of Jeopardy for 36 years
• Officer of the Order of Canada
• 7x Emmy Winner
• Star on Canada and Hollywood Walk of Fame

A few of many amazing accomplishments.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to the Trebek family and all his colleagues.

Rest In Peace, Alex. ♥️ https://t.co/aFPuGLfhnM

The fact that Trebek was born in Sudbury, Ont., also means his death is hitting even closer to home for the Ontario residents who've long been proud to hail from the same province as the icon. 

As a result, Toronto residents have set up a memorial on the Canadian Walk of Fame on King Street in his honour.

Trebek was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2006, and his star sits in the company of other Canadian icons including Leonard Cohen, Celine Dion, Martin Short and more. 

If you happen to be strolling along King Street this week, you'll likely see the memorial set up with photos, flowers and candles directly next to Trebek's star.

"We have lost an icon. Almost every night for more than three decades, Alex Trebek entertained and educated millions around the world, instilling in so many of us a love for trivia," said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a statement on Trebek's passing.

"My deepest condolences to his family, friends, and all who are mourning this tremendous loss."
