Daniel “Dan” Hoh, a physician who wrote for ABC’s Station 19, died Oct. 11. He was 45.
Hoh’s passing was confirmed by his manager Rob Golenberg.
Hoh joined the CBS Diversity Writing Program and in 2016, secured his first staffing job on the network’s Pure Genius from Jason Katims and Sarah Watson. In 2020, he joined ABC’s Station 19 where he rose to the title of producer in its final season.
Born and raised in Potomac, Maryland, Hoh spent time with the FBI before attending medical school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, TN. Though he thrived in medicine, he always tried to nurture his creative side and ended up transitioning to journalism by becoming a TV reporter in rural Kentucky.
Driven by a passion for people and social justice, Hoh embarked on global humanitarian missions. A trip to Mexico City with El Pozo de Via sparked his activism against human trafficking. He and his wife, Deborah, also campaigned for international human rights.
Hoh’s resilience was tested when he was diagnosed with multiple myeloma shortly after becoming a father. That’s when he found renewed purpose in storytelling and began his work in TV.
