The girlfriend of Keith Miller III, who was found dead earlier this week, has unveiled a heartbreaking tattoo in honor of the late college football star.
The Texas A&M-Commerce wide receiver was found dead near campus Thursday evening, according to a school news release.
The football star’s shocking death prompted an outpouring of grief from loved ones, former teammates and coaches, as well as the Dallas community.

“Keith honey, I forgive you and I love you in this life and the next. Please continue to pray for the family and for me, I really appreciate all the support.”
