Over $80,000 has been raised for the family of Marvel star Taraja Ramsess and his three children, who tragically lost their lives in a horrific car accident in Georgia.
As previously reported, the late stuntman was on his way home with his three children at around 11PM on Halloween night (October 31) when he fatally crashed into a tractor-trailer that had broken down near an exit on an Atlanta-area highway.
The horrendous collision immediately killed the 41-year-old father, his 13-year-old daughter Sundari, and newborn daughter Fugibo Ramsess, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
His son, 10-year-old Kisasi, and a three-year-old girl were also in the car and taken to the hospital in critical condition. Tragically, the family announced on social media that Kisasi succumbed to his injuries over the weekend.
The stunt actor's mother, Akili Ramsess, took to Instagram to pen a heartbreaking post.
She confirmed the death of her son and her grandchildren and wrote that two of Ramsess's daughters survived, with his three-year-old being hospitalized. Akili also said that her 10-year-old grandson Kisasi was on life support, but later posted on the social media platform that he had sadly passed away as well.
"All who knew and met him know how special Taraja was," the mother wrote. "He had a deep capacity for love and loved his children more than all. He loved his martial arts, motorcycles, and all things related to filmmaking. He [had] a very droll yet wicked sense of humor & yet could be as cornball corny as can be.
"Sundari, Sunny as she was called, also reflected that special light. Funny & loved to dance," she continued, adding, "Oh God! I can't believe they're gone! We are grieving and remain prayerful for my grandchildren's recovery. Thank you to so many who have already reached out with kind words and prayers."
A GoFundMe page has now been set up to help Ramsess's grieving family, and as of the time of writing, it has raised $82,844 of the $150,000 target.
"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," a message posted on the fundraising page reads.
"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," it continued. "I know you share our feelings that this devastating loss is unfathomable, and we are just trying to take a first step in helping Akili down the very long road ahead."
Ramsess's stunt work was featured in an array of Marvel movies including Avengers: Endgame, Black Panther, and Avengers: Infinity War. He also featured in other flicks such as DC's The Suicide Squad, Atlanta, and Creed III, per IMDB.
He also worked in the art department on numerous projects including The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Walking Dead, and The Vampire Diaries.
According to The Mirror, investigators said that Ramsess took an exit ramp where a tractor-trailer was broken down in the left lane when they collided. The cause of the crash remains under investigation.
Our thoughts continue to be with Ramsess's family and friends at this time.

Yes, I’ll do my real job and then jump into this wild scene playing a tough guy with a gun for you. From there – everyone else said yes too. He was that kind of person. A leader. A light," she wrote.
"Taraja. His name is like music. We will continue to sing it. Bless his soul. Bless his memory. Bless his loved ones and the many comrades he leaves here as he journeys on," DuVernay concluded.

The Marvel star who tragically passed away alongside three of his children had reportedly taken them trick or treating before the horror crash occurred.
On October 31 Taraja Ramsess, best known for being a stuntman in Avengers: Endgame and Black Panther, was involved in a horrific car accident with a truck on the way home resulting in the death of the entertainer as well as three of his children including his 13-year-old daughter Sundari, his 10-year-old son Kisasi, and his newborn daughter Fugibo Ramsess.
His ex-wife Selena and two of the pair's daughters survived the crash.
The Mirror reported that investigators who looked into the matter concluded that Ramsess took an exit ramp where a tractor-trailer was broken down in the left lane of an Atlanta-area highway when they collided.
Taking to Instagram after the tragedy, the 41-year-old late stuntman's mom Akili Ramsess confirmed the news of her family members' passing alongside a series of photos.
"My beautiful, loving, talented son Taraja @chop.saki, along with two of my grand babies, his 13 yo daughter Sundari and his 8-week old newborn daughter Fujibo, were killed the previous night in a horrific traffic accident," the heartbroken grandmother wrote in a post on the platform, before later confirming his 10-year-old son also passed away.
She then went on to talk about how "special" her son was.
"All who knew and met him know how special Taraja was," she continued. "He had a deep capacity for love and loved his children more than all. He loved his martial arts, motorcycles and all things related to filmmaking. He a very droll yet wicked sense of humor & yet could be as cornball corny as can be.

In the wake of the accident, further details have now been revealed as the investigation into the crash continues.
TMZ recently reported that the Black Panther extra had been wrapping up a night of trick-or-treating with his kids before the crash took place.
His mother told the outlet that she'd heard the news from her son's ex-wife who was inconsolable, and the situation was made more difficult by the fact that different members of the family had been taken to different hospitals by first responders following the crash.
A GoFundMe was set up for the family, which has now raised over $109,000.

A plea has been made after reality star, Monica Sandoval Saavedra, sadly died in a DUI car accident.
Saavedra - better known as “Spicy Monii” from Joseline’s Cabaret Texas - has tragically passed away, per the Mirror.
According to her family, she died in a DUI-related accident on June 14, at just 35 years old, leaving behind two teenage sons, Tyrese and Angel.
Co-star Dana "Queen Envi" Clark first shared the heartbreaking news on social media, referring vaguely to the accident and confirming the driver survived.
Monica’s sister, Melissa, also verified the news. The Zeus Network released a statement that read: “We're deeply saddened to share that #SpicyMonii, who brought unforgettable energy to #JoselinesCabaretTexas, has tragically passed away. Your energy, beauty, and presence will never be forgotten. Rest easy, Queen.”
Monica’s sister has launched a GoFundMe to help cover funeral costs and support Tyrese and Angel as they begin rebuilding their lives.
The GoFundMe read: "With heavy hearts, we share the sudden and heartbreaking loss of our beloved Monica Sandoval Saavedra.
"Monica passed away on June 14, 2025, leaving behind two beautiful sons, Tyree and Angel, her loving mother, two sisters, and a brother. She was loved by many.
Monica was the kind of person who lit up every room she entered. Her generous heart, warm spirit, and unforgettable charisma made her truly one of a kind.
"She was always ready to lend a helping hand to friends, family, and even strangers never asking for anything in return. Her compassion and selflessness left a lasting impact on everyone lucky enough to know her."
The fundraising page also came with a plea: "During this incredibly difficult time, we are reaching out to ask for your support to help cover the funeral and memorial expenses.
"Any contribution, no matter how small, will go directly toward honoring Monica’s life and her loving two children she left behind. We would like to provide her with the farewell she so deeply deserves.
"We thank you for your kindness, prayers, and support as we navigate this profound loss. Monica’s memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her."
At the time of writing, the page has raised $6,774 out of a goal of $20,000.
Monica, a standout from season five of Joseline’s Cabaret Texas, was one of the show’s most memorable contestants.
The X-rated reality series, aired by The Zeus Network, follows Joseline Hernandez as she scouts dancers and strippers to join her touring show.
Monica stood out as the only plus-size contestant and repeatedly expressed pride in representing bigger women and Latinas.
Despite some co-stars labeling her "boring" - and even Joseline Hernandez calling her out at a pool party for not letting loose - Monica still emerged as a fan favorite.
In episode three, her hesitation to reveal her identity led to her elimination, but that didn't diminish her impact on viewers.
Our thoughts are with her family at this time.

Frankie Muniz has sparked concern among fans after sharing a post about his mental health.
The 39-year-old, best known for his breakout role in Malcolm in the Middle, revealed he's been struggling during a challenging chapter in his life.
He took to X (formerly Twitter) on Monday to share a deeply personal update, which read: “If I’m being 100% honest … Mentally/emotionally I may be at a new low. Just wanted to say it out loud.”
While he didn’t elaborate on the exact reasons behind the post, fans rallied behind the star and offered words of encouragement.
One user said: "I respect this. As a man, it’s hard to admit when you’re struggling. I hope he finds the support he needs," while another shared: "Hate seeing anyone drained like this tbh. u r not alone, Frankie."
YouTuber Mr Beast also commented under Muniz's post: "Been there, it will fade and make the highs feel that much better."
The actor-turned-racecar driver has faced a series of challenges since leaping into professional racing.
Muniz began racing full-time in 2023 and currently drives in the NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series for Reaume Brothers Racing. But his debut season has been far from easy.
Earlier this month, he was involved in a collision when another driver struck his truck during a race. More recently, during a race in Rockingham, North Carolina, a critical mechanical failure caused his power steering line to burst, making it nearly impossible for him to control the vehicle.
“That was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” he said following the race. “My power steering line burst,” he explained, adding that the ordeal “ripped a hole” in his hand “just trying to hold onto it.” Frustrated and disheartened, Muniz admitted: “I’m just oddly cursed or something.”
Trying to stay upbeat, he reflected on the constant misfortune: “I’m trying to think what I’m going to tweet, because how many times can I say, ‘Wow, I got bad luck; Wow I got bad luck.’ My wife doesn’t believe me anymore.
"She’s like - you know, I love my wife and she’s super supportive - but she’s like, ‘Maybe it’s you, like maybe you’re just not good.’ I’m like, I can’t help that. You know what I mean?” he continued. “So I hope people see that. I mean, people are going to say what they do, but you know we’re trying really hard.”
Despite the recent setbacks, Muniz is also juggling a return to the screen, reprising his iconic role in the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle revival.
The new storyline sees Malcolm navigating family chaos once again, this time after being roped into attending Hal and Lois’ 40th wedding anniversary with his daughters in tow.
During an Instagram Live session, the star offered fans a sneak peek into the four-episode special that reunites him with co-stars Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek.
“It’s been oddly - I don’t know how to explain it. I haven’t seen everybody in, like, 20 years, but it’s as if no time went by, like you know, just right back to being comfortable in that world with everybody, and it has been going really really well,” he shared, per The New York Post.
He praised the production for being supportive of his dual commitments: “Everybody has been very accommodating with all the stuff that I’ve got going on with the racing.
“I just wanted to kind of come on here and just share the fact that I’m working really hard,” he added. “You know, I’m trying to be the best actor I can be, but also the best race car driver, and that’s my focus every time I’m here at the track.”
Disney+ hasn’t confirmed a release date for the new episodes of Malcolm in the Middle.
