LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 24-year-old 'Jeopardy! Masters' star Mattea Roach seemingly paid a subtle tribute to their late father by donning a necklace and sharing a picture of it from their dream vacation. The Sun reports that Roach was also seen donning their late father's denim jacket and sharing a selfie from a beach. The look of contentment on their face makes it evident they clearly missed their father.

Roach almost won 'Jeopardy! Masters' and merely lost by 2100 combined points. Their loss at the game only came after another contestant made a much more quirky wager. While they may not have won the game show but they definitely won the hearts of audiences, resulting in a fan following.

Mattea Roach misses their father

Roach posted a picture of themselves from Portugal captioning it, "Almost two years ago I had a very bizarre job interview where I got asked a bunch of trivia questions, followed by “let’s say, hypothetically, we gave you a bunch of money for answering more of these questions on television - what would you do with it?” I said I would go on a long delayed trip to Portugal. Pleased to report I got the job and made good."

Roach lost their father Philip Henry Roach, who was 57 at the time while filming 'Jeopardy! Masters'. They insisted that it was their father who instilled their love for geography and is a huge reason behind their participation in the show.

Fans could not help but notice the sweet gesture, with one fan commenting, "The daddy necklace is everything." Another user commented, "Glad you're living your dream. Sincere sympathy at the loss of your dad." A third user commented, "The Daddy necklace??? Mattea I simply cannot," while another said, "That necklace is everything."

Yet another user expressed their condolences over the demise of Roach's father and said, "Congratulations on making your trip and my most sincere condolences for your Dad, so proud of you have a great time !!!" One more user encouraged Roach to enjoy their vacation as much as they can, saying, "I have loved watching you and am so glad you are on your dream vacation!! Soak up every minute of it."
