I have not seen Miki since we graduated high school. I remember and know him from JV Football. He was a cornerback and I was a receiver. He would often defend me in practice. He always gave a 100 % and was a tough defender. He made me work very hard to get open. My sincere condolences to his family and may God Bless Miki and welcome him into his Kingdom.
