In Loving Memory of Ramon Galbon — Gone Too Soon, but Never Forgotten
Rapides Parish, Louisiana — The community of Pineville is mourning the untimely and heartbreaking loss of 40-year-old Ramon Galbon, whose life was tragically cut short in a two-vehicle crash on Louisiana Highway 107 near Craig Path Road on the evening of Saturday, October 18, 2025. The collision occurred around 7:20 p.m., leaving behind shock, sorrow, and a deep sense of loss for family, friends, and neighbors who are struggling to come to terms with his sudden passing.
According to Louisiana State Police Troop E, preliminary findings indicate that Galbon was driving a 2009 Ford F-150 southbound on LA 107 when, for reasons still under investigation, his vehicle crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado traveling north. The impact was severe, and tragically, Ramon Galbon — who was not wearing a seatbelt — sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.
The driver of the Chevrolet, who was also unrestrained, suffered minor injuries and was transported to a local hospital for treatment. Authorities suspect impairment on the part of Galbon and have submitted standard toxicology samples for analysis. The investigation into the crash remains ongoing, as Troop E works to determine the exact circumstances that led to the tragedy.
The loss of Ramon Galbon has left an irreplaceable void in the lives of those who knew him best. Described by loved ones as warm-hearted, hardworking, and full of life, Ramon was known for his friendly nature and his ability to make others feel welcome wherever he went.

In the aftermath of the crash, Louisiana State Police Troop E has once again urged all motorists to drive responsibly and safely.
“Troopers remind all motorists to make good decisions behind the wheel — never drive impaired, distracted, or fatigued, and always wear a seat belt,” a statement read. “While not all crashes are survivable, proper restraint use can make the difference between life and death.”
As the community grieves, many have gathered at the site of the accident, leaving flowers and messages to honor Ramon’s memory. His family is being surrounded with love and support during this incredibly difficult time, as they navigate the pain of losing someone so dear.
