Obituary

Brainard Willem Hines, age 80, of Gainesville, Florida, passed away on July 13, 2025, just as he lived: on his own schedule. Born on April 4, 1945, in Maxton, North Carolina, he was the son of Elsa Schultze and Dr. Brainard Evans Hines. He spent his formative years in Charleston, West Virginia, where he cultivated a lifelong love for the great outdoors and planted the intellectual seeds that would grow into a career in psychology.
