Filmmaker Ave DuVernay posted a tribute to Ramsess on Instagram.
‘He walked like a king. And to me, he always acted like that. He was part of our crew family at ARRAY. “He left us forever last night in a way that breaks the hearts of everyone who knew him into a million pieces,” she said.
‘We talked about art and his family. God, did he love his children? I remember one day on set we didn’t have enough black background actors for a key scene. I had to recruit my crew members for the camera.”
‘Taraja was the first to say yes. Yeah, I’ll do my real job and then jump into this wild scene and play you a tough guy with a gun,” DuVernay said.
“He was just a wonderful person. We have a great loss to this world. It makes you think and gives you a new perspective on everyone you have to call every day. Because you never know when your last words are going to be to someone,” said Tony Tucci, a longtime friend and X3 Sports trainer. WSB TV.
‘He was always a family man. They would come and sit and watch him train, and they would jump in and start training too.”
Ramsess’ death is the second tragedy to hit the Black Panther franchise after star Chadwick Boseman died in 2020 following a four-year private battle with colon cancer at the age of 43.
