I have 2 Tupelos I got this year from a shade tree program. 1 is
bigger than the other. The smaller one had all of its leaves fall off a
few weeks ago, while the other one (bigger) still has most of its leaves,
although a bit less green.

Is the smaller one dead if it sheds all of its leaves?

You don't indicate where you live, but if it is anywhere in the norhern
hemisphere, a tupelo shedding its leaves now is perfectly normal. I'd be
more concerned about the one that is still retaining foliage.
