Former Anaheim Duck Nic Kerdiles Dead at 29

Early Saturday in Nashville, 29 year-old ex-Anaheim Ducks forward Nic Kerdiles died in a motorcycle crash.

Nashville police said around 3:30 a.m., Kerdiles ran a stop sign in a residential area before crashing into the driver’s side of a BMW SUV with his Indian Motorcycle. They added that they found no signs of impairment at the scene from either driver.

In a statement, the Anaheim Ducks organization said it was “heartbroken” to hear about his death. Posting on X, “Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones.”

Away from hockey, Kerdiles was known for his appearances on the reality TV series “Chrisley Knows Best,” which documented the luxurious lifestyle and family adventures of real estate mogul Todd Chrisley and his wife, Julie. Kerdiles and the Chrisleys’ daughter, Savannah, started dating in 2017, leading to their engagement in 2019, before ending their relationship in 2020.

In June 2022, Todd and Julie Chrisley were convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion and are now serving time in federal prison.

Savannah Chrisley made a statement regarding Kerdiles’ death on social media, posting photos of them on a beach and captioned it with “We loved hard… and I can’t wait to ride bikes with you along the beaches of heaven one day.”
