Ramsess's mother, Akili Ramsess, wrote on Instagram: "All who knew and met him know how special Taraja was.

"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. Sundari, Sunny as she was called, also reflected that special light. Funny & loved to dance.

"Oh God! I can't believe they're gone!"

Filmmaker Ave DuVernay posted a tribute which read: "He walked like a king. And to me, always acted like one.

"He was a part of our crew family at ARRAY. He left us last night forever in a way that makes the hearts of all who knew him break into a million pieces.

"We’d talk about art and his family. My goodness, 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 to be on-camera."

Long-time friend and X3 Sports trainer Tony Tucci told WSB-TV: "He was just an amazing person. We have a great loss to this world.

"It makes you reflect and gives you a new perspective on everyone you need to call every day. Because you never know when your last words are going to be to someone.

"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's cousin Pharaoh Hardee told USA Today: "He was very involved and loving with these children. I would FaceTime call him randomly throughout the day and he would be getting the kids ready for school, picking them up or taking them to gym with him."
