I heard about this yesterday, but could not find verification until today.

> “He lived a good life — 87½ years,” said Mikels’ daughter, Cherisse Gomez of Las Vegas. “He did have a goal, which was 104. He always would tell people he was going to live to 104. … I wish he would have lived to 104.”

I’ve seen a couple of his movies but never met him. Still, RIP Mr. Mikels.
