Heartbreak now weighs heavily on the Jacksonville community as family and friends mourn the tragic loss of Tiffany Felton, the woman found deceased beneath a bridge on Blanding Boulevard Sunday evening. She was discovered around 6:30 p.m. by a fisherman, who immediately alerted authorities — a moment that marked the beginning of a painful journey for the loved ones she leaves behind.
As investigators continue to determine what happened, police say her death is being treated as a homicide, deepening the grief felt by all who knew her. Details surrounding the circumstances remain under review, but the shock of losing Tiffany so suddenly has sent ripples through families, friendships, and the union community she had only recently joined.
Tiffany’s family remembers her as someone full of drive, warmth, and ambition — a woman who was actively building a future she could be proud of. Earlier this year, she became a member of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 177, a milestone she embraced with pride and gratitude. Loved ones shared that she carried her membership with honor and excitement, believing deeply in the values of hard work, leadership, and unity.
In tributes posted online, friends described Tiffany as someone who lifted others with her presence — a person with a generous heart, a bright smile, and a spirit that made people feel valued and understood. “This one hurts deeply,” one post read, echoing the sentiment of many who are struggling to process her loss.
As the investigation continues, the community is holding onto memories of Tiffany while hoping for answers. Authorities are urging anyone with information to contact the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office or Crime Stoppers.
