Robert “Rob” L. Stephens Jr. passed away unexpectedly on November 29, 2025, at the age of 45. Born in Boston and raised in Chelsea to Robert L. Stephens Sr. and Sandra J. Heckley. Loving father of Janessa Stephens of Worcester formerly of Revere, and Alexis Stephens and Angelina Stephens both of Medford. Brother of Tabitha Stephens O’Neil, Tanya Stephens, Chris Stephens, James Stephens, and Emma Stephens. Also survived by nieces and nephews.
Robert was a man of many talents, as comfortable in a boxing ring as he was behind a stove or with a pen and paper. His passion for cooking was only surpassed by his love for writing, creating music, hobbies that showcased his creativity and magnetic personality. His infectious humor and loving nature, and his kindness was matched only by his protectiveness of those he cared about.
It is difficult to imagine a world without Robert's laughter, his love, and his heart of gold. However, we find comfort in the memories we shared with him, the love he gave us, and the legacy he leaves behind. We mourn the loss of Robert, but we also celebrate his life, his legacy, and the joy he brought to our lives.
A Visitation will be held on Saturday, December 20th, 2025, from 2:00pm to 5:00pm followed by a Prayer service in the Funeral Home at 5:00pm. Relatives and friends are kindly invited. Private Interment.
