Steven “Boats” Marcotti joined the Navy on July 8, 2009, where he served aboard the USS Curtis Wilbur (DDG-54), Yokosuka, Japan, achieving the rank of Petty Officer 3rd Class. He was honorably discharged in 2013 and affiliated with the Navy Reserve. Among his many decorations, Steve was awarded the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal and the National Defense Service Medal.

Steve was devoted to every person his talents reached. His unique perspective, sense of humor, and curiosity typified him. Steve had a servant’s heart, and always looked for ways to improve the lives of those around him. He also possessed an exceptional talent for losing 91# atlas stones at the bottom of Walden Pond.

Steve was a supremely unselfish, compassionate human being, traits which continued even after his untimely passing. Because of his status as an organ donor, six lives were saved through his final generous gift.
