In Memory of Ernie Autin

When you remember Ernie you immediately think BBQ! That made choosing this cause so easy. Ernie loved traveling the BBQ circuit and was known for his award winning BBQ, sauce and bread pudding! He loved Hogs for the Cause and the good things they were doing combining BBQ with fundraising for St. Jude.

Please consider making memorial contributions in his name.

He is survived by his wife of 47 years, Donna Badon Autin, his sons Jeremy Autin and wife Julie and Stephen Autin and wife Brittany. He cherished his four grandchildren, Jeremy Jr., Logan, Grayson and Caroline.
He is also survived by his brothers, Darryl, Dale and Joseph Autin and sisters Peggy Hebert and Susie Mendoza, as well as many nieces and nephews.

Please help by supporting Hogs for the Cause, and families with children battling brain cancer all over the country, by making a contribution to this fundraiser and sharing this page with your family and friends. Every dollar raised will advance Hogs for the Cause's great cause! Together, we can make a difference!

Not only does cancer take an enormous toll on the mental and physical health of the patients and its family members – it also has a tremendous financial impact. The costs associated with childhood cancer make it a struggle for families to get by and meet their needs while also being able to get their child to lifesaving treatment. For families already living in poverty, these difficulties are often multiplied.
