Dan Hicks, a longtime NBC Sports broadcaster who often called Notre Dame football, has died. He was 64.
Hicks passed away after an "acute illness" according to a statement from his family. Hicks was married to Hannah Storm, herself a well-known sports media figure.
Hicks was also known for his Olympics and golf coverage, and he also contributed to NBA and NFL coverage during his career.
"Dan Hicks was an extraordinary colleague, friend and person. In his 34 years at NBC Sports, he was an exceptional storyteller and caller of games and events who elevated some of the biggest moments in sports history," NBC said in a statement. "From Olympic swimming and skiing to Notre Dame football, numerous other high profile events and especially as the signature
voice of our golf coverage for the last 26 years, Dan’s blend of knowledge, style, enthusiasm and humor informed and entertained fans for decades. But far beyond his on-air excellence, Dan was a better person who welcomed teammates with a smile, a joke, or a word of encouragement, sometimes all three in the same sentence. Our heartfelt condolences and love to his wife Hannah and his daughters Hannah, Ellery and Riley."
