Gary Stein, 75, of Planet Earth, passed on June 24, 2021. He was born
in Hollywood on Sept. 29, 1945 and raised with love by Charles and
Dorothy Stein.

He is survived by three children--Cassandra, Travis, and Justin--and
preceded in death by his daughter Tifni. He is also survived by seven
grandchildren.

Gary aspired to cast away materialism and the expectations of a
society that can drive us to destroy our dreams. He worked in the oil
industry before leaving due to the greed that he felt it perpetuated.
Subsequently, he spent many years looking for a place to live true to
his values and self. He was a woodcutter, a caretaker of a ranch, and
eventually, an owner of a family video store. This last excursion led
him into a decades-long business trading movies with video stores in
every town with a name. During this, he found every beautiful,
strange, and wonderful sideroad in the place that he loved to call his
home, the Western US. He was a true western archetype.

He was a perpetual seeker of truth, and he taught his children to
bring goodness into the world. His perspectives were as varied as the
roads he travelled--unyielding in pursuit of justice for all human
beings. He shared laughter, games, music, and of course films with
everyone he encountered. He will be missed dearly.

"The world is my country, all mankind are my brethren, and to do good
is my religion." Thomas Paine
