Firefighter Mark Batista with the New York City Fire Department pἀssed away on Friday, 9 June, while attempting to save his daughter from drowning in New Jersey.
The firefighters all stood at attention as the FDNY carried his flag-draped casket through the streets. During a difficult moment, he handed a ceremonial fire helmet to his wife, Leann.
Batista, 39, perished on June 9 in Avon-by-the-Sea, California, after jumping in to save his teenage daughter from a rip current. He worked for Brooklyn’s Engine 226 as both a fireman and an EMT. The FDNY was to deliver a memorial firefighter helmet and condolence note to Batista’s widow and three children.
