"It's been such a really sad, unfortunate situation that's tough to navigate. This is the first real loss I've ever had to [face]. I was young when my grandfather passed away, so in my adult life this is the first real loss that I've had."

In case you missed it, Nashville's police announced that Kerdiles was in an accident around 3:30 AM on the 23rd of September. Allegedly, he ran a stop sign in a residential area north of central Nashville and collided with a BMW. 

According to police reports, the Lewisville native hit the driver's side of the vehicle on his Indian Motorcycle. Per TMZ, the BMW's driver promptly stopped, while the former Ice Hockey player was taken to the nearest local hospital.

In what looked like a foreboding moment, Kerdiles' passing occurred mere hours after his final social media update. Apparently, the former Winnipeg Jets player had shared a picture in his Instagram Story, showcasing him out on the town astride his Indian motorcycle.

Sadly unaware that the joyous ride would tragically mark the end of his life, he captioned the image "Night rider." Speaking out after, Chrisley posted a gif of a tender moment they shared. She expressed her longing, writing, "I'm Still hoping you respond to my text."

Fans of the "Chrisley Knows Best" star might recall that she connected with the entrepreneur via Instagram in 2017. Us Magazine also reported that the subsequent year, she took to social media to extend birthday wishes to Kerdiles, lauding him as the "funniest, loving, most selfless person" in the caption.

In 2018, the outlet had a conversation with the former couple and Chrisley's father, Todd, who even gave the WCHA Most Valuable Player in Tournament his stamp of approval. 

According to a source from the magazine, Kerdiles sought Todd's blessing before proposing to his daughter in 2019. However, this marked the beginning of their on-and-off romance as they called off their engagement in June the following year only to get back in July and end it again in September.
