Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty of bank fraud and tax evasion in 2022.

As OK! previously reported, Nic succumbed to fatal injuries on Saturday, September 23, after getting into a motorcycle accident. The Nashville Police Department confirmed he had collided with the side of a BMW after running a stop sign in a residential area.

"We’re heartbroken to hear the news about Nic Kerdiles, who died in a motorcycle accident this morning," the Anaheim Ducks official account wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, last week. "An Irvine native, Nic became the first player from Orange County to play for the Ducks, in 2017. Our thoughts and deepest sympathies go out to his family and loved ones."

"Nicolas Henry Stephan Kerdiles… I wish you could see all the people that are showing up and loving you right now. I can see that grin of yours so clearly," she wrote. "You left such a mark on this world and it’s so empty without you."

"It is impossible to believe that you are really gone. I am not sure how to even absorb that news, I don’t know how to react," she continued. "I am so sad and so numb. I don’t want to believe it."

"Just because some things don’t work out, or don’t last forever, doesn’t make them less special or less meaningful. We learned how to love together," she said in another portion of the lengthy message. "We learned how to be adults and entrepreneurs and professionals. We tried new foods, explored new cities, and created so many memories along the way ... Gosh! I miss you… this isn’t fair!"

While Savannah poured her heart out on social media, her sister, Lindsie, hesitated to pen a tribute for Nic.

"Based off of the events that have taken place with myself and my sister, for me to post something because it would feel insincere," the 34-year-old said on "Coffee Convos" podcast. "And I don't think that we should be living for what we're posting on social media. We should be living for what we're doing and our lives personally outside of what the public knows. I had just made a decision that I wasn't going to say anything publicly at all."
