Nick Trask, 36, is from Maple Ridge, and Ryan Ellison, 35, lived in Kamloops, but graduated from Maple Ridge Secondary.
They were identified by friends on social media, including through online tributes and photos of the two friends.
They were in a boat that collided with another aluminum boat on Osoyoos Lake on Saturday. Three other men were also seriously injured in the crash.
Osoyoos RCMP Sgt. Jason Bayda said an investigation into how the accident was caused is underway.
