Steven (Steve) Kennedy Anders, passed away on June 21st 2023 at the age of 70 in Rockland, MA. His battle with serious medical issues in recent years showed his courage in facing life challenges with dignity. He passed away peacefully at home surrounded by the intense love of family and friends.

Born in Quincy, MA to parents Edward C. Anders and Barbara (Alexander) Anders in 1952. Steve attended Braintree Public Schools and Blue Hills Regional Vocational High School. Following graduation in 1970, Steve went into the printing industry and later started his own Printing business, New England Graph Techs located in Woban, MA.

Steve had many interests that filled his life with pure joy. His love of reading, especially Stephen King novels, spending summers at the beach, boating with his cousin George, traveling with family and friends, playing bocce and star gazing on a clear night were among his favorite activities. Steve was an avid sports fan and loved spending time at the shooting range with his buddy, Greg.

Steve shared his love of classic cars with his good friend Pep. Steve loved his home and took immense pride in building his first home in Rockland. He loved to spend time caring for his beautiful yard, opening his pool and enjoying it with his young neighbors Gavan, Ronan and Shea.

Steve shared his love of golfing with his Grandfather who was the Caddie Master at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. Steve and his family Marshalled in many Anders Alumni golf tournaments which afforded him the opportunity to participate in The Ryder Cup and US Open Tournaments.

Steve loved his two furry companions, Lizzy and Molly and we are comforted in believing they are reunited again.

Steve was a “jack of all trades”; there was nothing he could not do! If there were a friend or family in need, Steve was the first to help.

Steve was a warm hearted man who exemplified respect and compassion. He lived his life with Integrity and Love. Steve will leave an enduring mark on all who knew him and will be missed by so many. Friends and Family will honor his legacy by remembering him and living their lives to the fullest.
