Larnell, the "booga with tha suga" Stokely was always the life of the party. There would never be a time you wouldn't witness a huge, inviting smile on his face. Larnell led a simple life and made the best of every moment. He enjoyed making people laugh because he enjoyed hearing the laughter of others and seeing everyone happy.
