If we go out of the state lines and onto the college level it would have to be Ron Mirikitani, he has survived being in an internment camp during WWII (he's japanese-american) and is in the Wrestling and Martial Arts Hall of Fames. His son was nearly killed in a crash with his grandchild, but they survived. Very spiritual man who has overcome a lot in life, and helps recruit wrestlers from rough backgrounds to give them a chance at the next level.
