Autumn Rae Mcgail Evans

Autumn Rae Mcgail Evans, a shining light in the lives of many, was born on January 17, 2002, in Sylva, North Carolina. Tragically, she left us far too soon on January 7, 2026, just days shy of her twenty-fourth birthday. Autumn's spirit was vibrant and infectious, filled with warmth and kindness that touched everyone she met.

From a young age, Autumn captivated hearts with her adventurous spirit and zest for life. She found joy in the simple pleasures, particularly the moments spent at the lake, surrounded by the laughter of family and friends. Her love for music echoed through her life, providing a soundtrack to her happiest days, and she cherished every cookout that brought loved ones together in celebration.

Autumn’s family was her world. She leaves behind her devoted mother, Belinda Conner, and her stepfather, Robert Conner, who nurtured her with love and guidance throughout her life. Her father, Brandon Evans, also holds a special place in her heart, and together they shared moments of laughter and connection. Autumn’s legacy continues in her beloved son, Asher Timmons, whose bright smile reflects the love she poured into his life.

She shared an unbreakable bond with her brother, Cory Evans, and her sister-in-law, Erica Evans, who embraced her with unwavering support. Their shared memories will forever be cherished. Autumn will also be fondly remembered by her uncles, Buddy Price and William Price, whose love and guidance left a lasting impact, as well as her cousins Dakota Price and Jaydan Price, with whom she shared countless adventures. Many friends and extended family are also left behind to cherish the memories of times they shared together. 

Though Autumn's time with us was short, her spirit will continue to live on in our hearts. She taught us the value of cherishing every moment and the importance of family and connection. As we gather to celebrate her life, we remember the joy she brought into our world. Autumn Rae Mcgail Evans, you are deeply missed, and your memory will forever be a part of us.
