Keith Miller III’s girlfriend, who was found dead earlier this week, revealed a heartbreaking tattoo in honor of the late college football star.
The Texas A&M-Commerce wide receiver was found dead near campus Thursday night, according to a news release from the school.
The soccer star’s shocking death caused great pain to his loved ones, former teammates and coaches, as well as the Dallas community.
His girlfriend, Caila Jae, stated that “Keith was mentally struggling with something that neither I nor his mother could help him with.”
Now, after his death, Jae has a permanent reminder of Miller tattooed on the back of his leg.
Keith Miller III’s girlfriend had a tribute to the late catcher tattooed on her body.
“I would have given you the world… but instead you have heaven,” reads the tribute on his leg.
He had ‘KM3’ tattooed on his body, along with the words: ‘I would have given you the world… but instead you have heaven.’
Jae also posted a photo of Miller with the message, “I keep waking up waiting to talk to you.”
Earlier this week, she wrote on social media: “I have done everything I can as his partner to try to help him during his battle, but ultimately, God is the last to say.”
‘Keith baby, I forgive you and I love you in this life and the next. Please continue to pray for the family and me. “I really appreciate all the support.”
Minnesota Vikings star Mekhi Blackmon donated $1,000 to a GoFundMe campaign dedicated to the late Texas A&M-Commerce wide receiver.
Brenden Rice, Jerry’s son and Miller’s former teammate at Colorado, shared a photo of Miller’s son.
Miller III began playing college football at Colorado before transferring to Commerce.
Shortly after the news of his death was known, a fundraising was launched with all funds ‘going towards funeral costs, family support and directly to his young son’.
The description read: ‘Your generosity can make a big difference during this difficult time. Thank you for her kindness and compassion.’
More than 160 people have donated to the cause as of this writing, and Blackmon’s donation was matched by former Colorado Buffaloes basketball player McKinley Wright.
As of Saturday night, the campaign had raised nearly $15,000 of its $30,000 goal.
