10/22/2026

Marques Thelonious Sturdivant, age 30, of Allentown, passed away suddenly on Thursday, October 22, 2026. 

Born in Allentown, he was the beloved son of Elroy W. and Kecia K. (Smith) Sturdivant of Allentown. Marques was most recently employed with B. Braun Medical Inc.  

He was an avid outdoorsman who enjoyed hunting and fishing. Marques also loved photography and all kinds of music, and he played the guitar. His most cherished time, however, was time spent with his family. 

In addition to his parents, Marques is survived by his sister, Dominique E. Sturdivant of Northampton; grandmothers: Anna Mary Sturdivant of Bethlehem and Clara G. Smith of Whitehall; as well as a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was preceded in death by both of his grandfathers. 

A memorial service will be held at a later date at the convenience of the family. In honor of Marques’s love for animals, memorial donations may be made to the Lehigh Valley Humane Society.

Nicos Elias Funeral Home, Allentown is in care of arrangements.
