Authorities have identified two men who drowned while trying to toss a lifejacket to a boy from a church group on Lake Pokegema . 63 year-old Albert Hermiston and 30 year-old Nathan Junker - both of Grand Rapids - died while trying to help the boy who apparently fell into the windswept lake from a houseboat. A witness, Kayla Domagall , called the victims "heroes". One of the victims, Nathan Junker, was a youth group leader for the church organization. The boy who fell into the water made it to safety.
