Clarke R. Marquis, 73, of Geneva, Il. and formerly of St. Charles, Il. died suddenly of a heart attack on Thursday, May 28, 2020 at Delnor Community Hospital.  Clarke was born on October 8, 1946, in St. Charles, Il. the son of John and Marguerite (nee. Clarke) Marquis. He was married to the late Laurie Fraser for 35 years and married to Mary Felts for 19 years.    

A graduate from St. Charles High School, he held several State Track and Field records for many years and was an Eagle Scout.  After high school, he graduated from Southern Illinois University and then Loyola Law School.  He practiced law for most of his life, taught Real Estate, and co-authored a book.  He was a dedicated father, soccer coach and boy scout leader.  However, his true joy came when he became a grandfather.
