Tyson, the eldest son of Tanji Donald and David Richardson, passed away in his home on Wednesday October 5th, 2022. He is grandson to Bessie Donald, who lives in Boston Massachusetts, and the late Jessie Manley from Louisville, Alabama. His lineage goes further, with his late great grandparents Gladys Scarver and Clarence Manley Sr., and Bessie's parents, the late Mariah, and Arch Neal. He is the first-born grandchild to the late Milo and Sarah Richardson and the great grandson to the late Martha Farrell. As the nephew to many aunts and uncles, Tyson is also the eldest nephew to his father’s only brother Ranford Richardson (husband to Laddie Richardson), and their children Sarah and Maxwell Richardson. Tyson was very proud of his heritage, his family, and where they all came from, Boston, Florida, and the island of Montserrat in the West Indies. These are his roots, his foundation, his legacy. They made him who he was. This family’s legacy continues on, as he leaves behind his siblings Tyrone Donald (and his wife Tiffany), Zakia Chrysostom (and her husband Marquis Lucas), and Serena Rose Gaskin. Tyson is also the father to Devin Allen, Aryanna Donald, Makenzie Donald, Amaya Donald, Jordyn Coviello, Natalia McWilliams, Jayden Allen, and Tyri Donald. His nieces and nephews include Laela Volmar, Trinity Donald, TJ Donald, Halah Lucas, Yara Lucas, and Zoe Lucas.
Tyson was born in Boston, Massachusetts and moved to Rhode Island with his mother and brother early on in his teen years. He co-founded B-eZ Productions with his brother when he was 19 years old. Together they made great music that will continue on through the talented members of the B-eZ team, who Tyson also looked to as brothers. He was a musician, lyricist, recording engineer, rapper, and barber. Tyson worked for Bob’s Barbershop in Pawtucket R.I. He loved his job, those he worked with, and his clients and the love was reciprocated right back to him.
Tyson lived a life of positivity, love, and light. All he created, he did with passion and heart, just as true artists do.
A beautiful smile, a kind soul, never a negative word spoken, he left us too soon, but he will never be forgotten!
