Longtime sportscaster Dan Hicks has died at the age of 64, it was announced by his wife, Hannah Storm.
According to the family, Hicks had been dealing with an “acute illness.”
“Our family is heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected passing of Dan following an acute illness,” Storm said in a statement. “He was a devoted husband of over 30 years, loving father to our three daughters, and cherished friend to so many. His loss is immeasurable.
“Dan was truly one of a kind and, quite simply, the person everyone wanted to be around. When he walked into a room, he brought the energy, the laughter and the people together. He was endlessly kind, thoughtful and funny, and he made everyone feel like they mattered.
“Our three daughters and I are heartbroken. We are grateful for the love and support surrounding our family during this incredibly difficult time. These are simply no words to express how much he will be missed.”
Hicks had been one of the regular faces on NBC’s coverage of the PGA Tour, Notre Dame football and the Olympics since joining the network in 1992. He also was a play-by-play announcer for the NFL on NBC from 1992 to 1998, as well as the network’s NBA coverage in the 1990s.
