Fred Storar II, loving husband and father

We have started this GoFundMe in honor of Fred Storar II, to ensure that his wife, Kris, and step-son, Austin, have the resources needed to support them through this very difficult time. The funds will help to offset Fred's medical and funeral expenses, support Kris and Austin's ongoing medical concerns, and ensure Austin’s tuition and other needs are covered as he finishes his degree at Kennesaw State University. Fred’s sudden passing has left the family in a difficult financial situation, so we’re hoping our community can come together to give his family some peace of mind as they grieve for his loss.

Frederick George Storar II, 49, of Acworth, died peacefully on August 16, 2023. He was surrounded by his loving family who remained with him throughout his sudden but critical illness.

Fred was a sound engineer, mixer and producer in Georgia's film industry, a career he enthusiastically embraced. He was recently nominated for his first Emmy for his work on Stranger Things. He also enjoyed his time on the sets of The Walking Dead, Guardians of the Galaxy III, The Takeover, and Abiding, among many others.

Fred loved sports and the outdoors. He camped, hiked and was an avid flower gardener. Music has always been a high priority for Fred. He attended concerts as often as possible and once traveled with a band on tour in his earlier years. Fred loved animals, especially their cats.

Above all, Fred was a loving husband, father, son and brother. He is survived by his wife, Kristen Storar; son, Austin Palmer; parents, Fred and Linda Storar; and brother, Kevin Storar (wife, Crystal Storar). He is also survived by his in-laws, Valerie and Roy Robinson and Stan and Gail Cooper; brother-in-law, Kevin Cooper (daughter, Coral Cooper); and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

Fred's memorial service is scheduled for Friday, August 25 at Southern Cremations and Funerals in Marietta, GA. Visitation with the family will be from 10am - 12pm, followed by a memorial service from 12pm-1pm. All are welcome.
