Golden Bear Tragedy
The Nicklaus family suffered a tragic loss Tuesday evening when Jake Walter Nicklaus, the 17-month-old son of Steve and Krista Nicklaus, passed away as the result of an accidental drowning at the family’s home.
That is an exerpt from the statement made by the Nicklaus family on their Web site.
As a HUGE Jack Nicklaus fan, but more so as a father, my heartfelt condolences go out to the Nicklaus family for their loss.
The statement goes on to make this statement:
