Jason Stein, age 46, of New Philadelphia, passed away peacefully, Thursday, March 28, 2024, with his wife by his side following a courageous 2-year battle with brain cancer.
Born in Dover on March 6, 1978, Stein was a son of Terry and Elaine (Troyer) Stein.

In his free time, he could be found riding dirt bikes and 4 wheelers. He was a man of deep faith. After his cancer surgery he was often called Pastor Stein. He was always willing to help people in need and always found people and ways to share his faith. Over the last 2 years, he was known to do random acts of kindness for people.
