Frederick Solari, of Brockton, passed away peacefully at home on August 13, 2025, at the age of 83.

Born on April 11, 1942, Fred was the son of the late Clifton and Lydia (Brusseau) Solari.

Fred is survived by his devoted wife, Margaret (Peggy) Solari and his four loving children: Dawn Solari, Frederick Solari Jr., Nicole Murphy and her husband Brian, and Julie Levesque. He also leaves behind Peggy's five children: Corey Joshua Phinney and his husband John, Loni Dwyer and her boyfriend Mike Carbone, Heather Dwyer, Courtney McElroy and her husband Jim, and Amber Nickerson and her husband Clifford. He was the beloved brother of Steven Solari and his wife Audrey, and the late Clifton (Kiki) Solari. In addition, he leaves behind many cherished grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A graduate of Brockton High School and Stonehill College, Fred went on to build a successful construction company. He was deeply passionate about his work and remained active on job sites right up until the end.

Family was at the heart of Fred's life. His children fondly remember summers at the family home on Nantasket Beach. He was an avid storyteller, loved playing cards with friends and cousins, and enjoyed country line dancing and roller skating. He had a passion for vintage car shows, casinos, and, above all, a good bargain, never missing a free buffet. His trips to Atlantic City with Peggy were the highlight of his later years.

Fred will be remembered in the faces of his children, the laughter of his grandchildren, and the warm home he built with Peggy. To know him was to love him, and he will be missed beyond measure.

Relatives and friends are invited to attend a Graveside Service at Knollwood Memorial Park, Canton on Tuesday August 26 at 12:00pm.
