Ramon was a very good man. He provided my mom with a job and a place for us to call home. It’s not fair to see him go. Prayers to him and his family, also my mother who lost a part of her heart.
RIP Raymon you where a good friend! You will be missed! My condolences to the family and passenger that was with you! My heart goes out to all of you!
Love you Ramon. Rip
I do not know mr. Roscom but for some reason this story has touched my heArt. My heart goes out to his friends And family and the passenger. My prayers are with you all im very sorry for your loss.
Ramon – you will be missed. there was neve anything I needed both at work and personally that you did not take care if for me and my family. RIP Ramon. May you finally get to relax and rest. Condolences to your family.
I would like to pay my respects to the family on this horrific tragedy! Deepest condolences to you in this time.. My Mr. Raymond R.I.HEAVEN ANGEL!!! Deep respect.. Will be in my prayers!!! God Bless..
I heard the crash happened and was one of the first people to see the area. Maybe people need to not assume it was the roads fault. If a driver is preoccupied and not paying attention to the road things like this are gonna happen no matter how wide the road is, or how deep the shoulder. Sorry for the families loss, but dont make assumptions that it was at the fault of anyone else.
Another life lost (possibly) because Florida road specifications evidently do not require dirt, gravel, etc. sloping away from the edges of the paved roads.
I wonder why that is that way? In other parts of the country the roads have shoulder material that helps when one needs to get back on the pavement at speed.
I guess there have not been enough lawsuits against the state yet.
Going to miss u brother! Could have been any of us, see u soon.
Much love.

So sad. I went to school with a daughter of his.
My heart goes out to the family and friends. This is such a sad and tragic loss.
@99 resident
Wouldn’t it be nice if those in charge of the roads in our area would get ideas from those of use who use the roads on a daily basis as to what would work best for us. Instead, we have people sitting at a desk making decisions that only make matters worse.
Northescambia.com would be a great place to start, allowing tax-paying residents to have a say in our own community. A simple “What Do You Think?” online forum would be fantastic. They might be surprised with the common-sense ideas they would get!
I am truly sorry for the families involved in this accident. It’s the second in as many days that was possibly caused by road conditions.
Prayers to the family. .. Been friends since childhood. ..Rip Ramond.
My condolences to the Roscom family. My heart ached as I turned on to 99 only to see the multitude of rescue vehicles blocking the road. I pray for comfort during this difficult time. The road is extremely narrow (the reason they’re widening it). However, for some reason, someone in charge thought it would be a good idea to REPAVE the road BEFORE widening it. This caused the edge of the road to be even higher off the shoulder and make it even more dangerous when approaching an oncoming logging truck. You have to go off the road in some areas just to make sure you don’t hit someone head on. I’m not saying this caused Mr. Roscom’s accident, but I do think they should maybe rethink things before they start to pave and widen any other narrow roads.
Praying for the family so sorry for your loss
Prayers for the family in this time of grief.
Prayers for family
This was a very good friend of my parents. I was shocked when my mom called and told me. RIP Raymond
