It would have been amazing if GTA III had an actual sequel as all of the 3D era titles after III were prequels. Or maybe they did planned a sequel in the form of the GTA Tokyo from recent leaks but by the time they did decide it was already late as the PS2, original Xbox and Renderware Engine were ancient technology and it was time to move to newer technologies with a new universe and characters.

He may have become Mr. Nasty from Manhunt, since both Manhunts share the 3D Universe with GTA.

This guy witnessed the beginning of a small gang war that gave him inspiration for another, perpetrated by his mentor and Vice City’s future drug baron, worked for Liberty City’s most powerful crime family and ran for mayor, evading assassination attempts from a crime family that his ex acquaintance was a member of, had his former mentor killed after being exposed and gone bankrupt, orchestrated the killing of a Mafia Don, killing dozens of innocent people in the process of destroying the Forellis’ base, escaped and built a powerful empire, all for profit, never got his hands dirty, instigated a gang war 15 years after being mentored by his mentor how to drive up real estate prices, killing a Yakuza leader in the process, culminating with Claude enacting revenge on Catalina, and in the end? Disappeared without a trace. That person was Donald Love.

In "Grand Theft Aero," Donald sends Claude to retrieve his package from the Colombian Cartel. He also made sure that the Yakuza would go more hostile against the Cartel for the death of Kenji. So my theory is that Catalina somehow killed Donald and disposed his body mysteriously. --OR-- Donald knew that the Cartel would go after him, so he sneakily escaped from Liberty City without anyone noticing. Then he went all quite into the shadows of unknown.
