Obituary of Mark Battle

Mark Battle, 62, of Ocala, Florida went to be with the Lord on Thursday, April 16, 2020, passing peacefully at his home. He was born June 10, 1957 in Queens, New York, to the late Robert William Battle and Theresa Ann (Guzma) Battle. Mark was a U.S. Army Veteran and a retired Police Officer in the State of Colorado at the University of Colorado Denver Police Department. He is survived by his wife of 14 years, Dawn Marie Battle, and his daughter, Theresa Rose Battle. He is also survived by many dear friends in Florida, Colorado, and New York. With many that are considered family

Mark was known for his kind and giving heart, he had so much compassion for others and always put5 others before himself. Mark was the type of person to give the shirt off his back or his last dollar to someone who needed it more, always going  above and beyond to help others in need—this happened time and time again, throughout his life. He was a man of the utmost integrity who loved people for who they were, and not what they had.

Mark will be ever remembered for his contagious laugh and smiling face. He will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

Mark’s Celebration of Life will be Nov 7^th at 12:00 pm at Hiers Baxley Funeral Home, 910 SE Silver Springs Blvd, Ocala FL. The Army will present honors to the family during the services. His service will be broadcasted on this link from Tribucast : https://client.tribucast.com/tcid/675287807
