Dan Hicks, the longtime voice of the PGA Tour and the Olympics, died on Wednesday at the age of 64 after an acute illness, his family confirmed in a statement.

"Our family is heartbroken by the sudden and unexpected passing of Dan following an acute illness," Hicks' wife, Hannah 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.
