'Best Dad A Little Boy Could Hope For': Father's Day Photos

CANTON, GA — Whether it's through their personality, looks, hobbies or a combination of everything, sons become a reflection of the man who raised them.

With Father's Day 2018 right around the corner, we are celebrating that special bond by inviting Patch readers across Georgia to share their father-son (or daughter) look alike photos. Even if you don't look that much alike!

It doesn't matter how old the kids are — they'll always be your babies!

Cartersville resident Kalyn Sutton shared this gem of her husband, Jacob, and son, Hunter, eating at Captain D's on June 10:

Alpharetta resident Sylvia Fly shared with us this photo of her husband, Bryan Fly, and their five-year-old son Silas. This cute submission was taken in Panama City Beach, Florida, on April 3:

"Weekends at our house are always filled with giggles and fun activities," Fly said. "Bryan loves to teach Silas everything from sports, painting, cooking healthy means to doing math. He's the type of dad that will climb the tree, make silly faces and kick the ball with all the kids on the playground. He's a big kid and truly the best dad a little boy could hope for!"

Dana Townsend of Woodstock said Tanner is the "younger version of his dad," Scott Townsend. This photo was taken this month at the Grand Canyon National Park:

"Same mannerisms, same love for sports and working out, same taste in food, etc," she said. "These two love being outdoors and love being together. Happy Father’s Day Scott. Tanner is blessed to have you as his father."

Belinda Jenkins, who lives in Woodstock, said her husband, Tim, is an "incredible, selfless dad to our four children."

"The bond that he has with our son, Connor, is like none other," she added. "They love the same foods, the same sports and even the same music! They are literally carbon copies of the same person! And people say it ALL THE TIME!"

Here's a photo of Tim Jenkins with his son, Connor, before his prom in March of this year:

"He is a huge blessing to all of his children," she added.

It's your turn, Patch readers — what traits do son and father share? Submit your lookalike photos by sending them to kristal.dixon@patch.com. Be sure to include a nice message for your loved one, as well as the city/location of the photo and the date it was taken. We'll share some of our favorites.
