                       HONORING MARQUES A. HUDSON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, February 5, 2024

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the life of Mr. 
Marques A. Hudson. Mr. Hudson, a resident of Piscataway, New Jersey, 
died in the line of duty on January 26, 2024 after responding to a 
three-alarm house fire in Plainfield where he served as a firefighter. 
I know I join with his family and friends in paying tribute to his 
memory and the ultimate sacrifice he paid in service to our community.
  A member of the Plainfield Fire Department since December 2021, Mr. 
Hudson made an impact on the department and community during his two 
years of service. His contributions and commitment have been recalled 
by the City of Plainfield, the department, and his fellow firefighters. 
Not only was Mr. Hudson a dedicated public servant in Plainfield, he 
was also an active member of the Piscataway community. As a Little 
League coach, Mr. Hudson was a role model and mentor to the players and 
his sons.
  Mr. Hudson is survived by his loving family, including his beloved 
partner D'onnah Jones, sons Kaleb, Josiah, and Isaiah Hudson, mother 
Vickie Hudson, sister Jacqwetta Hudson-Bonus, brothers Allen and Jaquan 
Hudson, nephew and nieces, and many other relatives and dear friends.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely hope that my colleagues will join me in 
honoring Marques A. Hudson for his heroism and sacrifice, and his 
dedication to his family and community. Mr. Hudson demonstrated 
character and leadership throughout his life and was deeply committed 
to each endeavor he undertook. He will be remembered fondly by all 
those he has inspired and those whose lives he impacted directly.
