Dan Hicks, the veteran NBC Sports broadcaster who spent more than three decades calling some of the biggest moments in golf, Olympic swimming and college football, died Wednesday in Connecticut following an acute illness. He was 64.
His death was confirmed Thursday by his wife, ESPN broadcaster Hannah Storm, who described his passing as sudden and unexpected.
“I am heartbroken by the sudden loss of our friend Dan Hicks,” Mark Lazarus, the CEO of Versant who oversaw NBC Sports for more than a decade, said in a statement. “For decades, I had the privilege of working alongside Dan, but our friendship extended far beyond NBC Sports. Dan was one of the very best at what he did, but what I will remember most is the person he was: a loyal friend and a devoted husband and father. My family and I are thinking of Hannah, their children and the entire Hicks family. We will miss him.”
