Roscoe R. Muse Jr. was born in Providence, RI to Roscoe R. Muse Sr. and Elizabeth Jones on 12 October 1950.

He was married to his high school sweetheart, Songina Muse, for over 45 years before her passing in 2016. He was a faithful and committed man dedicated to his family and friends who stood strong on his principles of treating people with respect and expecting the same in return.
