Benjamin "Ben" James Stovall age 20, of Topeka, KS passed away on Wednesday, July 24, 2024. He was born to Kevin L. Stovall and Lisa (Crumpton) Stovall on November 22, 2003. Ben was known for his vibrant personality and boundless energy, which made him the heart and soul of his family and friends. He was a very free spirited and spontaneous person who had a way of making everyone laugh just by being himself. He made everyone around him feel special and important and taught people to be silly and have fun no matter who was watching. Ben graduated from Topeka High School in 2022, where he was a proud member of the drumline, forming many enduring friendships. He continued his education at Allen County Community College but planned to transfer to K State to continue his passion to become a veterinarian. He was passionate about anime, Pokémon and DragonBall Z and enjoyed following various YouTube gamers. He had a special gift with animals and envisioned a future where his home doubled as a sanctuary for every animal in need of love. Left to cherish his memory and continue his legacy of laughter are his mother, Lisa Stovall; his partner-in-crime sister, Amanda Stovall; his co-conspirator, brother Patrick Stovall; his chief giggler, niece Lillian Stovall and many friends. He was preceded in death by his father, Kevin Stovall; grandparents James Crumpton, Peggy Baker and Marvin Stovall along with his cherished cousin, John Stovall.
