“The entire Marsy’s Law for Florida team mourns the loss of dedicated advocate and friend, Michael Liles of Jacksonville. A true champion for crime victims’ rights, Mike served as the executive director of the Jacksonville-based Justice Coalition following the 2017 murder of his beloved wife, Debbie Liles. He has been a steadfast ally for victims and their surviving family members throughout Florida and could always be counted on to stand up for those whose voices have been silenced. Our hearts are with Mike’s six children and grandchildren, as well as the many other friends who loved him. He will be dearly missed.”
