Martin Presley, 64, of Tucson, Arizona, passed away peacefully on June 8, 2025. Born on November 4, 1960, in Oakland, California, Martin was the beloved son of the late Marian Cormier and Charlie Hollis.

A devout Catholic, Martin found strength and purpose in his faith. He was a loyal fan of the Oakland Raiders and a surprisingly enthusiastic user of TikTok, using it as another way to share laughter and joy with others.
He is survived by his daughters, Kimberly Malvaiz (34) and Caitlin Presley (32); his granddaughter, Victoria Malvaiz (22 months); his loving siblings, Rowena Allison, Lamont Presley, and Tracey Presley; and his dear friend and former wife, Suszette Presley.
