Jay was just 42 when he passed away from colorectal cancer in 1998 and he still has a firm place in Katie's heart. She paid tribute to him with a message in which she also thanked her current husband, John Molner, for his support.
In a candid interview with People last year, Katie bravely spoke about John’s final days."I was so worried about letting go of hope, because I didn't want Jay to spend whatever time he had left just waiting to die," she shared."I think it takes extraordinary courage to be able to face death, and I think I was too scared, honestly."
On the lasting impact of their time together, Katie poignantly added: "I understand the fragility of life in a way that will always be with me. It also makes me realize the futility of being mad at somebody, of petty arguments. I always think about what David Cassidy said on his deathbed: 'So much wasted time.'"
