Wilton Manors Mayor Justin Flippen died suddenly Tuesday night of a brain aneurysm, reports The Miami Herald. “We are deeply saddened to hear of the news that Mayor Justin Flippen has passed away very unexpectedly,” The Pride Center said in a Facebook post. “Justin led by example by being a strong leader.
Our community was better because of his hard work and he will be deeply missed.” Flippen, 41, was on his way to a commission meeting Tuesday when he became ill and was rushed to the hospital.
