Game Warden Raymond and Captain Joe Williams drowned after being swept overboard while anchoring their Parks and Wildlife boat. They were attempting to secure the boat to protect it from an approaching hurricane when a large wave knocked them both into the water. Both of their bodies were recovered two days later.

Captain Williams was survived by his wife.
