Nic Kerdiles, who was previously engaged to Savannah Chrisley, tragically passed away on an early Saturday morning due to injuries sustained in a motorcycle accident.
As per the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department’s report, at approximately 3:30 in the morning, Kerdiles, who was 29 years old, was operating his Indian motorcycle within a residential neighborhood located to the north of Tennessee’s capital. Allegedly, he did not adhere to a stop sign during this incident.
The driver of the BMW, reportedly involved in the collision with Kerdiles, did not seem to have sustained any injuries. In contrast, Kerdiles was taken to a nearby hospital, where regrettably, he later passed away due to his injuries, as stated on the website. On the preceding Friday night, Kerdiles shared a photo of himself on his motorcycle, emphasizing the importance of safe riding by wearing his helmet. He captioned the car picture as “Nightrider” on his Instagram Story.
Through a sequence of Instagram photos that captured his moments with family, the former professional hockey player, recognized for his time with the Anaheim Ducks between 2014 and 2017 before joining the Winnipeg Jets in 2018, shared reflections on embracing life to the fullest earlier this month. He mentioned that days in this world seem to pass by swiftly and urged others not to take them for granted, expressing this sentiment in the caption.
Chrisley, aged 26, and Kerdiles started dating in November 2017 and became engaged. However, in July 2020, Savannah revealed that their engagement and wedding plans had been canceled. She articulated, “Nic and I have shared our lives for two and a half years.” She recognized that both of them were on a journey to discover their roles in the world and emphasized their commitment to personal growth in order to become more supportive partners. She described their relationship as unique, saying they marched to their own rhythm.
Savannah Chrisley mentioned that she and Kerdiles were still together but felt that they had “rushed into things way too fast.” They wanted to ensure they were in a healthy place individually. In September, Chrisley announced on Instagram that they had made the difficult decision to part ways.
Despite parting, there was no bitterness between them. Savannah, the host of the Unlocked podcast, emphasized their deep love, respect, and admiration for each other but acknowledged that it was time for them to embark on separate journeys.
