Sending my sincere condolences and comforting prayers to Melvin’s family, colleagues and many friends. Thank you “Uncle Melvin” for educating, encouraging and inspiring us all to make a difference. You were a man who loved God, family and the people. Well done my friend, now relax in heavenly peace.

To Mrs. Stukes & Family,
I met Former Delegate Stukes at City Hall when he was a Councilperson. Truly he was a man for The People. He would often call my colleague Desi McCoy or myself to request In Memoriams and Certificates of Recognition for someone he knew. His last request to me was one for the Maryland State Teachers Retirees 75th Anniversary. My heart has been heavy every since I received the call asking me did I know he had passed. I was in shock as I had just spoken with him on 9/18. He was a giant in spirit and in his willingness to help the people. He called me his sister and I my brother. Rest in Peace my brother. You will be missed. Prayers and much love to the family.

Always

Susie

Sending peace and prayers at this sad time. He will be missed by all of Baltimore.

Mrs Catherine and Family, I am so sorry to hear about your dear husband’s passing. I will always remember how he fought for our city and especially appreciate his looking out for Cherry Hill where we lived before moving to Pimlico where we became close with you, Sheila and Kevin. Please know I will pray for you all. Love Deborah G. Haskins, PhD

Dear Catherine and family, my condolences during this time of mourning. Praying for your healing and pease at the loss of your spouse.

In memory of Melvin Stukes, a life well and usefully lived, I offer as a reminder the Parable of Immortality by Henry Van Dyke:
I am standing upon the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze
and starts for the blue ocean. LMLV
She is an object of beauty and strength,
and I stand and watch until at last she hangs
like a speck of white cloud
just where the sea and sky come down to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says,
' There she goes! '
Gone where?
Gone from my sight... that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar
as she was when she left my side
and just as able to bear her load of living freight
to the place of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment
when someone at my side says,
' There she goes! '
there are other eyes watching her coming...
and other voices ready to take up the glad shout...
' Here she comes! '
And that is dying.

My heart goes out to the family. Melvin was just a wonderful guy. He always cared about the community. When he was in office was wonderful to the community. Even when he was no longer in office he would still attend functions and speak when called upon. Melvin was a man of strong faith and family. He will be missed!

Condolences to the family of Delegate Melvin l Stukes. Mr Stukes was a man of the people. I remember him coming to my parents' home in Cherry Hill to express his sympathy when our father passed in 1999. Thanks, Mr Stukes for your service to our country and especially the State of Maryland.
The family of the late Abraham and Mattie Martin Sr.

Condolences to his family and friends.
