Stephen Eric Kabakoff of Marietta, GA passed away unexpectedly on April 29th, 2026.

He was born on January 20th, 1973 in Pittsburgh, PA to his loving parents Herman and Suzanne (Stein) Kabakoff, both of Hudson, MA, formerly of Acton, MA. Stephen was the beloved husband of Julie Ann Kabakoff, devoted father of Jaclyn Marissa Kabakoff, both of Marietta, GA, loving brother of Edie Boynton (Matthew) of Westford, MA, and beloved uncle to Milena and Douglas Boynton.

Stephen graduated from Acton-Boxborough High School with the class of 1991 before attending Cornell University where he earned a B.S. in Material Science Engineering. He then went on to obtain a Master’s of Science in Electrical Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University before beginning work at the United States Patent and Trademark Office in Washington, DC. From there, he went on to Suffolk Law School in Boston, MA while working for Cesari and McKenna Law Firm. After graduating with his Juris Doctorate, he became licensed to practice law in both Georgia and Massachusetts. In 2003, he married his wife Julie Ann (Cohen) Kabakoff and they settled in Marietta, Georgia where they welcomed their daughter, Jaclyn Marissa in 2006.

Stephen became a partner in 2012 at the prestigious IP law firm Finnegan and was most recently employed as a partner at Miller and Martin. Stephen was an extraordinarily dedicated attorney. In his free time, he enjoyed going on runs with Jaclyn, trying the spiciest dishes he could find at Szechuan restaurants, watching his beloved Red Sox, traveling with family, eating oysters whenever possible, listening to his favorite music (especially Pink Floyd), and special date nights he shared with Julie.

Stephen is exceptionally loved and will be missed beyond words.
