Freddie Stoker

Freddie was born in Walker County, Georgia to the late J.C. Stoker and Nola Bee Sutton Stoker.  In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his four brothers, Delmar Stoker, James Stoker, Perry Stoker, and Doyle Stoker.

Freddie loved the Lord and he enjoyed worshiping at Waleska Church of God of Prophecy where he sang in the men's quartet and the choir.  He truly enjoyed being outside- whether it was gardening and tending to his tomatoes, fishing, or working on his lawn mower.

Tyler Byess (Brittany), Erica Leanna King (Jody), Nicholas S. Byess, Taylor Elizabeth White, Aspen Nicole White, and Jacob L. Stoker; five great grandchildren, Alexis Byess, Tucker Stoker, Raelyn Byess, Jaxon King, and Harper White; two sisters, Jean Williams (Bill) of Acworth, and Bonnie Sester (Buster) of Canton; and many nieces and nephews.
