Personal life

[edit]

Hamilton was born in Okinawa, Japan to his parents Johnie and Madgeline Hamilton, both U.S. Marines. The family eventually moved back to the United States and settled in Quantico, Virginia, when Hamilton was in fourth grade.[28] Growing up, Hamilton took a role in raising his brother, Darius, who has nonverbal autism as his mother had breast cancer and his father was serving in the Marine Corps. Hamilton taught Darius many important tasks like how to tie his shoes and brush his teeth. During eighth-grade, Hamilton used his elective period to help Darius in his special-needs class. Hamilton has a "DKH" tattoo on his arm, which are his brother's initials. He started playing football in recreational leagues including Pop Warner.
