Larry David Storts

It was Larry’s final finale show, April 13th, 2026 at his log cabin surrounded by family. Larry was born on November 14th, 1959 in Zanesville, OH to the late Roger Ivan and Marjorie (Bolyard) Storts. He attended Miller High School and graduated, working at Nicofibers and doing heating and cooling work for a while. He had a one-of-a-kind recognizable voice that if you heard it, you knew it was him. He moved to Georgia for a few years before returning and meeting the best thing to ever happen to him, his wife Emily. After bugging her for a few years to date him (she referred to him as a “young punk”), she finally gave in and gave him a chance. They brought two beautiful girls in the world, Whitney and Rachael, who were loved unconditionally. Larry and Emily, polar opposites that were drawn together, had a special kind of love and although lived separately the last several years, still stayed married and lived their lives closely together.

Larry was a self-proclaimed “Jack of all trades, master of none.” He, with a little help, built his log cabin that he was always so proud to show off. It was one of a kind in its time and still is. His father owned a woodshop, “Handcrafted Creations” in which Larry also showcased his talent. “If you can dream it, we can build it!”. He did beautiful woodworking and built many different things. He even won blue and red ribbons from fairs where he entered his works of art. Along with woodworking, Larry loved to hunt. He started hunting coonhounds in his teens and had his own kennel, “Tree Assassin Blues”. He sold and shipped dogs to people all over the United States. His bloodline is still around today. An avid deer hunter, Larry loved showing off the heads on his wall, proud they were all off the “ridge”. They surely don’t disappoint, Dad. Larry even dabbled in taxidermy, mounting Whitneys 10-point buck as his first and only successful taxidermy job. A country boy through and through, you can bet this time of year he would be looking for those mushrooms! And boy could he find them. He knew the trees and woods well. We’re grateful he showed Oliver, his grandson he raised as a son, the “honey holes”! Last but not least, “BOOM BABY!” Larry sold fireworks for 40 years and knew so many people from doing that. His fireworks were even MTV famous, featured on the show True Life: . He lived for selling them every year, always trying to have the best ones and always with a big smile on his face “ready to make a deal”!

Survived by his daughters, Whitney Marie (Charles) Huff and Rachael Storts. Grandchildren Oliver, Benjamin, Ethan, Stella and Sebastian. A few special friends, cousins and many acquaintances. Proceeded in death by his wife Emily Fisher Storts, parents, brother Gary, sisters Debbie (Kunkler) and Jennifer. Special uncle Donald Bolyard, aunt Janet (Marsh) and Davis Storts.

Per Larrys request, he was buried at a private service on his property on April 15th, 2026. In Larrys honor, we are planning a special party on July 11th at his log cabin for stories, memories, fishing and camping. Just an all-around good time, celebrating his life with a big firework grand finale! Donations will be accepted to pay for the funeral services (which were wonderful and in which so grateful for them) and also for the party we will be having in July. You may contact Whitney to donate.
