Music Funeral Services
DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Chris Hoch, whose video production and camera work have helped Bethune-Cookman Athletics and the CatEye Network become an athletics industry standard, died last week. He was 44.
 
He and his wife, Amanda, became part of the Wildcats Family through his work on the Wildcat Football Insider and Wildcat Basketball Insider Coaches Shows, which aired on Fox Sports Florida and were also streamed worldwide on BCU's various internet platforms.
 
A Seabreeze High School graduate, Hoch enrolled at Valdosta State College (now University) where he and Amanda met. He also attended Daytona State, where he worked under the tutelage of Bruce Dunn at WDSC-TV, then defied odds to launch King's Eye Productions, a Media production company that quickly established itself as a leader in the Daytona Beach/Orlando market.
 
In addition to Bethune-Cookman, the King's Eye client list included the NFL Network, ESPN, Fox Sports, UFC, BET and many more.
 
In addition to Amanda, his wife of 22 years, the Hoch's had three children – Caroline, C.J., Jr. and Wilson, all of Remerton, Georgia. He is also preceded by his father, Bradford James Hoch of Port Orange, Florida; Mother, Sharlene Adair Laughlin of Saint Johns, Florida; Step-Mother, Josie Hoch of Port Orange; Mother- in- law, Yvonne Huffstickler of Carrollton, Georgia; Father- in- law, Lynn Huffstickler of Newnan, Georgia; and a number of uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.
