Autumn Hernandez

Autumn Jeneĕ-Lee Hernandez, 14, of Custer, S.D., passed away Sept. 30, 2024, at Monument Health Hospital in Rapid City, S.D.  
Autumn was born May 30, 2010, in Scottsbluff, Neb., to Peter Hernandez and Kelly Garrett.
Autumn was a freshman at Custer High School.  She loved track, being a cheerleader and she wanted to be a doctor, actress and singer one day.
She was a friend to everyone. She enjoyed scary movies, love stories, Disney movies and anything that brought joy to her life. She had an infectious smile and a pure heart. We truly believe the ultimate way to her heart was through a bag of hot Cheetos and a watermelon Red Bull.
“You are the love of my life and girl of my dreams”
— Mom
