Marty, SGT. Batson, was as much a part of the Sylacauga community as white marble, he was a genuine original. My thoughts, prayers, and condolences are with his family.

Josh, our thoughts & prayers are with you and the family as you go through this sad time.   

To Andi, Pete, and the rest of the Batson clan.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  I've been a friend of the Batson family since I worked for your grandmother running the parking lot on First Street when I was in the 9th and 10th grades.  The good memories continued when you were all on the  swimming team, and I was the coach.  Your Mother (Rita) was one of my biggest supporters helping with the meets, travel, etc. and helping put a bridal shower together for my wife before our wedding.  Then I was one of the coaches when Marty, Mike, and Pete played football for the Aggies.
   The Batsons are one of my favorite families even though I haven't seen much of any of you in recent years.  As a policeman, Marty stood tall, and I always admired the way he handled his job with passion and compassion.  RIP Marty!
   Coach Lewis (Earl)

Marty Batson was one of the “Cool Cops” - he did his job and did his best to keep the kids riding around Sylacauga safe - always had an easy smile and a kind word .  I was honored to know him - all of my family felt the same !! Rest easy my friend !

Have not seen you in many years, but do know you have been in my thoughts many times. 
The Hagan family sends our deepest sympathy and regards. 

To Andi and Pete - losing a sibling is a genuine loss; Marty as well as the rest of your family were always friendly and fun-loving members of our church.  Sincere sympathy.

No words can express my sorrow. RIP my friend.

Please accept our deepest sympathy and prayers for strength and comfort. 

I didn't know Marty past his official capacity as a police officer but he was great with the teens.  He kept many from going down the wrong road and did it with kindness, gentleness and humor.  He is remembered well by many generations of Sylacauga teens who were riding around Ogletree plaza and being teens in general.  Rest well Marty.

We were sorry to hear about Marty. We always thought alot of him.  Our hearts and prayers are with you. 

Marty was a treasured friend to me.  I am sharing in your sorrow.  You are in my thoughts and prayers  during this sorrowful time.
