Ronald Glenn "Abongo" Humphrey, an alumnus of Taft High School and actor in the 2018 blockbuster film "Black Panther," has died. A death notice from Dignity Memorial in Georgia shows Humphrey, a married father of three, died Dec. 11 at 41 years old. The notice did not specify the cause of death. Several weeks before his death, he told his sister Natalie Bootman he was the happiest he had ever been in his life, Bootman said. Though he wasn’t a native of San Antonio, Humphrey spent the majority of his teen years in the Alamo City. As a child, he had "more energy than ten children", his sister said. At Taft, he played nose guard for the football team and was popular among his classmates, according to a former Express-News story about him.
