In a season when boat outings and long days enjoying the lake are common, it’s difficult to imagine a day on the water taking a tragic turn for the worse. That’s exactly what happened for the Prince family on June 18 when two of their sons — Jake, 9, and Griffin, 13 — were killed in a boating accident on Lake Lanier.After the community was stunned by the young boys’ deaths, Dawson County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Doug Boyle felt compelled to do something to help support the Prince family any way he could. Saturday’s Griffin and Jake Prince Memorial Ride was the result.
