He was educated by the Barstow Unified school system until his senior year of high school when he transferred to Montgomery High School in Chula Vista Ca., where he was awarded the San Diego area high school Heisman trophy.

He leaves to mourn his passing and cherish his memory, his son, Dylan; his brothers, John Jr., Kenneth, Lydell, Cassius, and Bernard. He also leaves a host of aunts, uncles, nephews, loving friends, and his dedicated team members at B.N.S.F.

I have known Myk for many years, and his passing was a shock to me. He is a great guy, and an awesome bodyguard. The heavens got another Angel when they got Myk. My condolences to his family, and his Son Dylan, who he spoke often of.
