Jason Stein

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.

 He was a 1996 graduate of Garaway High School.  Throughout his career he was known as being a jack of all trades.  He worked as a production manager at MPS Manufacturing for over 12 years.  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.

 Stein is survived by his wife, Sandy (Oboczky) whom he married on June 4, 2011; his daughters, Ainsley (Seth Hoover) Sefert, and Alaina Sefert; parents, Terry and Elaine Stein; brother, Michael (BJ) Stein; nephews, Evan and Seth Stein; mother and father-in-law, Rick and Carol Oboczky; sister-in-law, Melissa (Keith) Jackson; brother-in-law, Doug Oboczky; nieces, Alexis Huff, Ava Jackson, Kaydence Oboczky, and Rubie Jackson; and his beloved dog, Daisy.

 The family will greet guests on Monday, April 1, 2024, from 4:00 to 7:00PM in the Geib Funeral Home at Dover.   A funeral celebrating Jason’s life will be held on Tuesday, April 2, 2024 at 11:00 AM at the funeral home.   Burial will follow in Renner Cemetery at Fresno, Ohio. 

 The family wishes to thank Crossroads Hospice for their compassionate care.  They would also ask that as a way of remembering Jason, please do a random act of kindness in his honor.
