Jack Hanna’s Family Gives Heartbreaking Update 2 Years After Alzheimer’s Diagnosis

Beloved wildlife expert Jack Hanna’s family is giving an update about his health after being diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease two years ago. In a new interview with The Columbus Dispatch, the 76-year-old’s wife Suzi Egli revealed that her husband’s condition has progressed to the stage where he doesn’t recognize most of the members of his family. “My husband is still in there somewhere. There are still those sweet, tender moments, you know, pieces of him that made me and the rest of the world fall in love with him. It’s hard. Real hard some days. But he took care of me all those years, and so it’s my turn to take care of him,” Suzi said. Jack was first diagnosed in 2019, but his eldest daughter Kathaleen Hanna shared that originally the conservationist never wanted the public to know because he thought it would end his career. Suzi concluded by sharing a glimpse at what her and Jack’s days look like on their Montana farm and how she’s determined to care for him as long as possible.
