Donkevious Donmontae Donmar Johnson was born on January 31, 1993 to April Quimbley and Donald Johnson; known to them as their "miracle baby."
Kevious, as he was affectionately known, had his Christian upbringing as a youth in the Greater St. Paul Church of God in Christ under the leadership of Superintendent Clarence Brown.
He was educated in the Palm Beach County public schools system and graduated from Glades Central High School in 2012. He attended Alabama State University on an athletic scholarship. He later transferred to Bethune Cookman University to be closer to his family and to reunite on the gridiron with his former Raider teammates. A sophomore majoring in Psychology and minoring in Business, excelled in the classroom by maintaining a 3.0 GPA. He not only tackled QB's on the field, but managed to tackle life's expectations on a day to day basis. He was the life of the party and was loved by everyone he came in contact with.
He was preceded in death by his grandfather, Isaac McKenzie and uncle, Isaac McKenzie, Jr.
