Donald Maurice Pears Jr (November 3, 1971 - April 29, 2015), better known by his stage nameThe Last Mr. Bigg, was an American rapper and songwriter from Mobile, Alabama.[1]

Career

Pears was known for representing south Alabama and the Florida Panhandle in the wider sphere of southern rap.[2] Though he toured up to his death in 2015, his career was most prolific during the early 2000s. Notably, he was featured on Three 6 Mafia's grammy-winning single, “Poppin’ My Collar.”[2]

Personal Life

Pears was born in Mobile, Alabama.[3] He spent his most of his childhood with his mother in California's Sanfransico Bay area, though he spent his summers with his father in Mobile.[4] His childhood propensity for trouble bled into his adult years, where he became intimately involved with drug trafficking.[4] In 2004, Pears was shot twice in the head at point-blank range.[3][5] He spent eight days in a coma, and lost his right eye and part of his brain.[5] He replaced his lost eye with a glass prosthetic with diamonds in it, earning himself the second nickname "Diamondeye".[3]

Death

After various continuing health struggles, Pears died in his sleep in Mobile on April 29, 2015.[6] That day, rumors of his death circulated on social media until they were eventually confirmed by his family and longtime friend DJ Rodski.[2]
