Tenner Edward Stork

Tenner Edward Stork (Ed), of Round Rock, Texas passed away peacefully in his home on July 24, 2024, after a six-year battle with cancer. He was only 60 years old when he passed. Throughout his long battle, Ed fought valiantly to stay with his family. Eventually, the pain became too great and he passed peacefully after sharing a special moment with his wife, Jennifer. His family is confident that he had family and friends waiting for him as he entered heaven because he pointed toward heaven right before he took his last breath. Ed was born on February 6, 1964, to Tenner Stork and Claire (Gilchrist) Fryer in Taylor, Texas. After Ed graduated from Anderson High School in 1982, he went on to take some classes at Blynn College. Ed and Jennifer met in 2000 and married in 2004 in Round Rock, Texas. They celebrated their 20th anniversary on May 4, 2024. Ed and Jennifer have 2 boys, Logan and Truett. Ed's family was his entire world. He took tremendous pride in his boys' accomplishments. He loved his family fiercely and worked hard to provide and protect them. His family gave him strength during difficult times. The family would enjoy yearly trips to Port Aransas, memories they will hold dear to their hearts for years. Ed worked for Brown Distributing in Austin, Texas for 33 years. He was a successful on-premise sales consultant known for his professionalism, and dedication to his company, coworkers, and customers. He was hard-working, loyal, and passionate about everything he did. He made a name for himself in the beer industry and along the way, he cultivated many long-lasting friendships. He was known by many as "The Bud Man" or "The Beer Man." Ed is remembered for his sense of humor, unique vocabulary, and smile that stretched from ear to ear. Ed never met a stranger and was always the first to volunteer to help someone in need. Ed believed in God and found peace knowing he would spend eternity in heaven. Ed is a lifelong fan of the University of Texas. He proudly showed his Hook'em Horns in almost every picture he took. During football season, he reminded everyone to wear their Longhorn gear on Fridays to work or school. He enjoyed taking his family and customers to Longhorn football and baseball games throughout his career with Brown Distributing. Ed loved being outdoors and enjoyed hunting as well as fishing. Ed's greatest joy was when he took his family guide fishing. He was so excited when his wife or sons caught a keeper fish. He always had a camera in hand to document the occasion. Ed also had an eye for finding arrowheads. During his last year, he would go on arrowhead digs, sharing the experience with Jennifer and Truett. As Ed's body began to fail him, he and Jennifer enjoyed spending time on the back porch watching the birds visit the bird feeder and the dogs chase squirrels. It was there that Ed and Jennifer had some of their best conversations and moments together. Ed is preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents. He is survived by his wife, Jennifer Stork, and sons, Logan Stork (Cristen), and Truett Stork. His father Tenner Stork (Pat), his mom, Claire Gilchrist Fryer, and his father Jim Fryer (Linda). He is also survived by his brothers, Clayton Fryer (Danielle), Jason Fryer (Kelly), and Aaron Stork (Amy) as well as his bonus siblings, Amy Burton-Strelnieks (Erik) and Scott Burton (Brandi). He is also survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and uncles. Services for Ed will be held at St. Matthews Episcopal Church located at 8134 Mesa Drive in Austin, Texas on Saturday, August 17th at 10:30 am. A Celebration of Life will take place afterward in the Heritage Room at the Dell Diamond from noon-3:00 pm. Ed's family requests that you wear your favorite Longhorn gear, a fishing shirt, or anything light blue. All his favorite pieces of clothing. In place of flowers, the family requests donations to the Support Ed Stork's Final Journey Go Fund Me, or to St. Jude, an organization Ed felt strongly about. It pained him when he knew children had to fight cancer at such a young age.
