72 Roo Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 What a heartbreaking time for Niko's family. Isn't it incredible that in such a time of great pain his family stays rooted in their faith and love. All my prayers go to him and his family. It makes me so proud to see the outstanding character our boys bring with them to Akron. I am proud to have worn the colors and to say "Once a Zip always a Zip." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennZip Posted September 11, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Alicea, Niko's sister was accepted into Boise State one week later, she was diagnosed with cancer. 11 days after the diagnosis, her family had to rush her to the hospital. less than 24 hours after being rushed to the hospital, Alicea had passed away. My heart absolutely breaks for the entire De Vera Family. If you are in a position where you can help (every $25 to $50 will help), please help this family of strong faith in their time of great sorrow. https://www.gofundme.com/f/2dz3m-alicea-de-vera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
