STEVEN MARLIN Obituary

MARLIN, Steven Ross Beloved son of Elaine and David Marlin of Sudbury, passed away June 3, 2022, after a sudden cancer diagnosis. Steve leaves his brother and sister-in-law, Jeff and Jane Marlin of Wellesley; and his niece Julia and nephew Benjamin. Steve "Fish" Marlin grew up in Lexington and forged his identity during his many summers at Camp Bauercrest in Amesbury. The love and joy Steve shared with others was beautifully reflected in the jam-packed schedule of visitors that traveled far and wide to be with him at his bedside in recent weeks – connections cultivated and maintained from school, camp, business and his wide social circle. Steve graduated from Lexington High School in 1984, Tufts University in 1988, and received an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. He worked in business and management consulting, most recently as a self-employed asset liquidator. Steve was a skilled amateur photographer, producing high-end professional work. He combined this with his love of music as he photographed countless premier touring musicians (including, his favorite, Bruce Springsteen), as well as Hollywood celebrities for various publications, including Rolling Stone magazine. Steve's photographs can be seen at marlinphoto.com Steve was a loving, caring friend to so many – loyal, sympathetic, humorous, genuine, and encouraging. He brought light to the lives of countless people, from the golf course to the front row and backstage at the live concerts he loved. Visiting Hours: There will be a Celebration of Steve's Life at Stanetsky Memorial Chapel in CANTON, MA on Tuesday, June 7 at 12 p.m. Masks are required for the chapel service. Burial to follow at the Falmouth Jewish Cemetery in Falmouth. It was Steve's desire that the celebration be "business-casual"-- no suits required. In lieu of flowers, Steve asked that donations be made to Camp Bauercrest, 17 Old Country Road, Amesbury, MA 01913 (bauercrest.org); Jeff's Place, 281 Pleasant Street, Framingham, MA 01701 (jeffsplace.org), or the charity of your choice. Shiva will be held June 8 at Belmont Country Club, 181 Winter Street, Belmont, MA, from 2-7 p.m.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Steve's passing. I have such fond memories of him from Muzzey and LHS. My husband, Pat, and Steve kept in touch over the years. We recently saw him in December when he delivered a collage of Taylor Swift concert photos for our daughter that we bought her as a gift. He was so talented. I can hear his voice and picture his smile when I think of him. Such a tremendous loss. I shared his obituary on the LHS Class of 1984 Facebook page, and there has been a huge outpouring of beautiful comments and photos.
