TNG and DS9 Visual Artist Dies at 60. We’ve lost a lot of members of the Star Trek family over the past year, and it’s always sad. In many cases, we’ve lost those who worked on The Original Series, which is understandable as we’re now in the 50th year since that show premiered. But when we lose those who are much younger, it’s especially sad. And that’s the case with the latest loss, Gary Hutzel, who has passed away at the young age of 60. He died of an apparent heart attack, according to Hollywood Reporter. We look back at his contributions to Star Trek. Host Production |
