Officer Ramey came to the assistance of the troopers and parked his vehicle on the left hand side of the roadway. As the pursuit neared his position, the suspect crossed the center line and struck his cruiser on the driver's side at 80 mph, completely crushing the patrol car. The suspect was also killed in the accident.
Officer Ramey was a Unites States Army veteran and had served with the 11-person Bladenboro Police Department for two years. He is survived by his mother and five sisters.

View all 78 ReflectionsBrian, I miss you kind, gentle presence. I still wish you didn't have to go. Your dedication to what was right and just mirrors my own, and there's few people to understand that mindset. I wish we could have had yet another conversation before you left for heaven. Please watch over me as you talk quietly with Daddy, Mom, Granpa and Granma. I will see you when God takes me home.
