Donald then came to New Jersey in 1994 where he remained until his passing. Donald was known to most of his friends and family as "Tyga" because he was very athletic and agile.

Everybody knew Donald as someone who loved to skate/rollerblade as he would skate everywhere, he would hold on to the back of cars and trucks on his rollerblade all the way to Ochi center, he was also an Olympic style cyclist. He used to joke that he would rollerblade all the way to runaway bay and back. He had a bicycle shop in exchange where he would make bicycles, fix them for the kids in the neighborhood. He was also an avid fisherman, to say he was a hustler, and a jack of all trades would be an understatement. Donald had many skills including his main trade which is construction/electrician/plumber he can fix anything. Everyone calls him when they need things repaired or built. He used to carve wooden sculptures, sew clothes, make hats, fix cars, he once built an entire decorative railing with only a few pieces of recycled steel, it was so beautiful it looked like it was purchased from a store.

Donald enjoyed music, especially country music, and reggae. He taught himself how to play the guitar and the piano in less than one year. He had several instruments which he was learning to play including the saxophone. He always believed you can do anything with practice, and he proved that many times over.
