Mr. Bateman was a lifelong Floridian who lived his entire life on his family’s ranch. After graduating from DeSoto High School he went on to attend the University of Florida. Soon thereafter, he began his 39-year career with Florida Power and Light, starting out as a mechanic and rising to the position of Central Maintenance Outage Manager. He was committed to providing and participating in safety practices, always encouraging others to make safety a number one priority. Randy was a dedicated and conscientious member of the FPL/NextEra Team. While Randy’s accomplishments were numerous, those he was the proudest of were his wife, children, and family.
The goal of the Randy Bateman Memorial Fund is to advance education and career opportunities in the Power Generation and Skilled Trade Industries.
