Sarah Palin has announced the death of retired NHL star Ron Duguay, sharing an emotional farewell just days after asking supporters to pray for him during his cancer battle.
Duguay, 69, had been diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer in December 2024. The disease later spread to his liver, according to the Daily Mail.
The former Alaska governor announced the news on social media on Thursday, October 22.
“It’s with a shattered heart, but also deep peace knowing Ron is with Jesus now. He fought so hard. Love never ends,” Palin wrote.
Her announcement followed photographs showing her holding Duguay’s hand at his hospital bedside, where she had remained a source of support throughout his illness.
