Summer Devi Mehta

A teenage South Asian transgender girl is standing outside with a big smile. She is wearing a black pointed hat and a black shirt with a floral design. There is a house and cars on the street behind her.

Age 17 • Palo Alto, California

Summer Devi Mehta was a person of immense “light,” a young woman whose presence was felt most vibrantly in the spaces where she could truly be herself. Whether she was acting in a theater production or serving as a Dungeon Master for a marathon family D&D session, Summer had a unique gift for delighting those around her. Summer’s father, Nick Mehta, remembers her as the child who would always find a way to make others laugh when they were sad, weaving a sense of joy into the every day.
