Ruslan Magomedgadzhiev

Ruslan Magomedgadzhiev was known to family and those close to him as a caring presence in their lives. A resident of Tarzana, California, he was 40 years old at the time of his death on October 4, 2020. Public records and contemporary reporting identify him by name, age, and community of residence; beyond these facts, much of Ruslan’s full life — the small routines, private joys, and everyday relationships that make a life — remains with the family and friends who knew him.

Those who loved Ruslan remember him first as a person rather than as a headline. The available public record indicates he lived in the San Fernando Valley area (Tarzana) and was in Lomita on the morning of October 4, 2020. Community reporting from the period identifies him as one of two people who died that day; law-enforcement and coroner records from Los Angeles County record his death date and age. A family-organized fundraiser from that time also indicates the family sought assistance with funeral expenses, which reflects the immediate grief and practical needs his passing created for those closest to him.

Public sources are limited about Ruslan’s broader life story, and no family-published obituary matching his name and the exact October 4, 2020 date was located in the usual obituary repositories. Out of respect for the family’s privacy and the limits of the public record, this remembrance focuses on the human fact that Ruslan was a real person with family and community ties whose life mattered. His memory lives with those who knew him personally — family members, friends, and neighbors — and with anyone whose life he touched.

For those who wish to honor Ruslan, consider reaching out to surviving family members if contact information is available through family channels, observing moments of silence, or making a quiet donation to a cause the family supports. May this small memorial note acknowledge Ruslan Magomedgadzhiev as a person whose life had value beyond public records and whose memory remains with those who loved him.
