Michael Angel Vera

Michael was freshman at Wapato High School. He loved to watch WWE, Raw, Smackdown, and all professional wrestling. He had achieved “expert” status on most video games. His life goal was to become involved in the video gaming industry. Michael was the #1 fan of the Seattle Seahawks even though the rest of the family and his brother were die-hard Dallas Cowboy fans. He never gave up on the Seahawks.
