Mickey davenport Funeral fund

On March 12, 2019 the Vallejo judo club lost its head sensei. Mickey Davenport, was not only a pillar in the Vallejo community; he was a true Judo man. Mickey dedicated his life to the city of Vallejo by allowing the Vallejo judo club to stay open. In doing so he allowed generations of young students to thrive in the sport. Sensei Mickey Davenport was not a perfect man, throughout the years he experienced many ups and downs not only in his personal life but with Judo as well. Many of his students can tell you that there were days when only one or two would show up but that never deterred Mickey from his goal, which was to allow the Vallejo community to participate in the great sport of Judo. Many would say to give up but he kept the doors open; Because he loved the sport of Judo and he believed in the community of Vallejo that through Judo they could become better people, better citizens and good friends. Along the way a lot of these people did not only become friends they became family. The Vallejo club is honored to say that Mickey Devonport is the foundation of what we stand for today. We appreciate all the time and dedication that he put into every individual that walk through those doors and we will never forget him we love you Sensei Mickey and you will be missed greatly.
All funds will go towards funeral arrangements for Mickey.
