Hicks was "truly one of a kind," the post continued. "When he walked into a room, he brought the energy, the laughter and the people together. He was effortlessly kind, thoughtful and funny, and he made everyone feel like they mattered."

"Our three daughters and I are heartbroken," Storm wrote.

Hicks spent the majority of his career as a play-by-play television commentator for NBC Sports, known particularly for calling Notre Dame football, as well as golf and the Summer and Winter Olympics.
