Autumn Raylee Gumm, age 21 of Goodyear, AZ died June 9, 2018. She was born October 3, 1996 in Glendale, AZ to Danny Gumm and Kendall Stewart. Bright and magical, Autumn’s colorful personality filled her world with a powerful energy that was difficult to contain. Her passion for life and learning was evident in everything that she did. She was studying to become a labor & delivery nurse and had plans to become a doula or midwife later in her career. She was gifted with an exceptional voice and was honored when a cover of a song that she had posted on YouTube lead to her being contacted by the band for potential recording opportunities.
Autumn was an extraordinary listener. She loved to have deep conversations with her friends and family. Her strong-willed personality sometimes led her to passionately dispute her point of view, but she would always ponder what was discussed and would later see the strength and wisdom in an opposing view. Likewise, her father recognizes that their debates taught him to be a better father. Her free spirit was evident in the way that she lived her life. She was a vegan, who chose a simplistic life style. Arriving home from a trip to Europe she felt a strong desire to return and live a gypsy’s life, traveling from place to place. She was very intrigued by the energy of the universe and its infinite possibilities.
Autumn often wrote letters to friends expressing her joy with them in their accomplishments. She devotedly kept a journal of her daily activities as well as her nightly dreams. Her love for her family, friends, her happiness in life and her wisdom are recorded forever in those precious pages, and they whisper, voice your passion – follow your dreams!
Autumn is survived by her mother, Kendall Stewart; father, Danny Gumm; sister, Amber Gumm; brother Kevin Gumm; and grandparents, Sandra Stewart and Tom and Vickie Gumm. A visitation will be held at 10:00 am followed by a funeral service at 11:00 am, Saturday, June 16, 2018 at Skyway Church, 14900 W Van Buren St, Goodyear, AZ 85338.
