Investigators identified the father and son as Bruce Miller Jr., 36, and his son, Bruce Alan Miller.
Authorities believe the father and son were at the property working on renovations prior to the explosion. Miller's truck was found at the property.
It's not yet clear what caused the explosion and the investigation remains ongoing, authorities said.
