It is with immense sadness that we report the death of Taraja Ramsess, a stuntman best known for his work on Marvel’s Avengers movies. On October 31st, Ramsess was driving a pickup truck in Dekalb County, Georgia, when he collided with a tractor-trailer. He, his 13-year-old daughter Sundari, his ten-year-old son Kisasi, and his newborn daughter Fugibo were all killed in the “terrible” crash. Another three-year-old child, who is yet to be identified, was taken to the hospital with severe injuries.
Ramsess had a prolific career as a stuntman in the film and television industry, with notable credits including Black Panther, Avengers: Infinity War, Avengers: Endgame, and The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. He was also a set dresser on many projects.
In light of the tragedy, a GoFundMe page has been set up to help Ramsess’ mother, Akili Ramsess. The page, which has so far raised more than $82,000, reads in part: “Akili Ramsess, a dear friend and colleague to so many, lost her eldest son, the beautiful and talented Taraja, and three of her grandchildren – Taraja’s 13-year-old daughter Sundari and 8-week-old daughter, and 10-year-old son Kisasi – in a horrific traffic accident on Oct. 31. We are not sure what her immediate needs are, but we know there will be many. Anyone who knows Akili knows that her greatest joys are her three boys and 10 grandchildren. Her love and devotion to her family knows no limits.”
Unfortunately, the tragedy was compounded when Kisasi succumbed to his injuries and passed away. This devastating news was confirmed in an update on the GoFundMe page on Saturday, November 4. Our thoughts are with the Ramsess family during this difficult time.
