“I love you so much, Dad. My heart is broken, but I know Jesus has you now. Until I see you again❤️💔,” she added in an Instagram story of her holding her dad’s hand.

Thomas has been with her father throughout his diagnosis, which happened in 2024, and provided fans and followers with updates throughout the years.

Most recently, Thomas asked for “all the prayers we can get” as things seemed to take a turn for the worse.

“I wasn’t planning on posting anything. but I believe in the power of prayer, and right now, we need all the prayers we can get. And I know so many love him so much. Please keep our dad in your prayers. @noah_duguay @amberstavros” Thomas wrote in an Instagram post.

Sarah Palin, Duguay’s girlfriend since 2022, also recently asked for prayers before his death.

The former Alaska governor posted for her boyfriend across her social media accounts Thursday.

“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 on her Instagram story.

Hockey fans all over also took to social media to honor the Ranger of eight seasons.

“Omg 🙏🙏 we Loved you Ron 💙💙. Im so sick to my stomach and so sad. RIP Ron🙏🙏You were a great man!” a fan wrote on X and included a young fan posing with Duguay.

“This one sucks. Rest easy @RonDuguay10 you were a wonderful person, player, father, husband. Heaven gained a real one. Rest in power Ron!,” a second fan chimed in.

Ron Dugay while being a great hockey player was even a better man. He never pushed aside his fans and often befriended them,” another fan posted. “A smile that lit up rooms. He’s been my inspiration since I was diagnosed w cancer. 🙏 I pray today for his daughters and family as well as @SarahPalinUSA.”

Actor Michael Rapaport also posted for Duguay, saying the legend was a “huge part” of his fandom.

“There was a short period of my childhood when I was a REAL hockey fan. The late 70s, early 80s NY RANGERS,” Rapaport wrote on X. “The excitement around that team, the Sasson Jeans commercials, the whole NYC energy of it all. RON DUGUAY was a HUGE part of that. A real piece of my childhood as a New York sports fan. May his memory be a blessing 🕯️🏒❤️”

Duguay was selected No. 13 overall by the Rangers in the 1977 Draft and he played for the franchise in eight of his 12 NHL seasons.
