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.
Martin proudly served his country in the United States Army for over 23 years, holding a variety of roles throughout his distinguished military career. He was known for his unwavering sense of justice, deep pride in his country, and his ability to bring people together through his sharp wit and humor—whether at home or abroad.
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. Martin was deeply devoted to his family and cherished the time he spent with them.
He will be remembered for his integrity, warmth, and the countless lives he touched through his service, his humor, and his heart.
