Dan Hicks, a longtime voice of NBC Sports’ golf, Olympics and Notre Dame football coverage, died Wednesday, November 11, at 64. His family and NBC announced his death Thursday, the Associated Press reported.
His wife, broadcaster Hannah Storm, said his death followed an acute illness. In her statement, she remembered him as a devoted husband and father and thanked those supporting the family. Entertainment Weekly also reported the family and network statements.
Hicks joined NBC in 1992 and became its lead golf announcer in 2000, according to his network biography. His assignments also included Olympic swimming and skiing.
NBC Sports executives praised his storytelling and the warmth he brought to colleagues.
Hicks had been scheduled to call Notre Dame’s November 14 game against Boston College. That announcement preceded Thursday’s news; it does not establish who will call the game now.
