The bodies of two fishermen, who were also military veterans, were found in a pond on Sunday. 

Authorities identified the victims as Richard Maple, 64, and Isiah "Sonny" Macon, 59. Both men were from Charlottte.

The men were fishing Saturday on a neighborhood pond behind Macon's home on Williams Road off East WT Harris Blvd.

Search crews found Maple in the pond around 10:30 p.m. Saturday and Macon around 1 a.m. Sunday.

Macon joined the Navy after graduating from Harding High School. He retired and opened a hair salon, Hair Generation.

His wife said he enjoyed fishing and repairing vintage cars. 

Charlotte Fire Capt. Rob Brisley said there is no limit on the number of resources in a search of that nature.  

"It's difficult when you're dealing with a tragic situation like this, but knowing that the resources are readily available, we're going to do what's necessary throughout the night," said Brisley.

Fire crews said there are a lot of small residential ponds in the area. 

Police said foul play is not suspected.

Funeral arrangements have not been arranged as of Sunday.
