The golf community is grappling with a heartbreaking loss.
Dan Hicks, a broadcaster for NBC Sports for more than 30 years and cornerstone of the golf world, died on Nov. 11, his wife Hannah Storm confirmed. He was 64.
“Our family is heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected passing of Dan following an acute illness,” Storm shared in a statement to social media Nov. 12. “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.”
The ESPN anchor described her husband of three decades—with whom she shared daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley—as “one of a kind,” calling him the “person everyone wanted to be around.”
“When he walked into a room, he brought the energy, the laughter and the people together,” Storm wrote. “He was endlessly kind, thoughtful and funny, and he made everyone feel like they mattered.”
Amid the heartbreak, Storm and her daughters are grateful for those who have lent them support.
