I would like to take this opportunity to say how sorry I am for the passing of David. He was an incredible young man, who was polite and professional. I met him many years ago when he handled my wife's divorce and we became friendly way back then. Over the years we spoke from time to time. I am not a lawyer but I am in the legal profession and David was kind enough to send me customers when he could. I cannot properly express in words how much I thought of him and respected him as an individual and also a lawyer. I will miss him dearly.

Pete, Jean and family, My heart breaks for you in the loss of your precious son/brother/father. My prayer is that you may you find peace as God wraps his loving hands around you all during this difficult time. You are loved by many even though it has been many years since we knew each other. I pray for strength in the coming days. Kim (Tichenor) Phillips & Ben Tichenor (Spartanburg First Baptist)

Thanks so much David for all you did for the black community. You never saw color or creed. You went into the depths of the community where the other prominent lawyers would never go! You spared so many from the crooked "justice" system and made sure everyone black...white...or purple..feel important and serviceable! I hope all the other lawyers take a good look at you and see what a true servant of the people should be !!!! You are not gone because legends live forever!!! No RIP !! You are still living on !

With deepest sympathy,

Dearest friends, we are heartbroken to hear of David's death! I will always remember the sweet little guy he was when all our boys were young. And I remember how impressed Bob and I were to see him on national television a few years ago--he was obviously so good at his chosen profession. Rob, Andrew, and I are holding you in our hearts and in our prayers, asking the Holy Spirit to comfort and sustain you in these difficult days. Much, much love to you both, and to Drew, John, and Fletcher.

To the Aylor Family,
My deepest condolences for the loss of David. I had the pleasure of meeting him multiple times, just around town and in the courtroom as a news reporter in Charleston several years. He was very nice, always helpful, and professional. I´m so sorry to hear of his passing and sending prayers for your comfort.

Sincerely,

For David´s family, I am so sorry to hear this, and so sorry for your loss. I met David years ago when I retained him to help me get out of a speeding ticket. He was so personable, and genuine. He later did some other legal work for me in the family court. He met me for lunch one day, and even came to my home one afternoon to go through documents. He went the extra mile to accommodate his clients. I am sad to hear this, and very sad for his family. May he Rest In Peace.

Mr. and Mrs. Aylor and family,
I am so truly sorry for your loss! I never had the opportunity to meet David but knowing his parents and being a former student of his father, Pete at Spartanburg Methodist College, I can only imagine what a wonderful and caring person he was. I wish I had words that could ease your pain, but I don't. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers!
Love In Christ,

From Havana, Cuba where we shared so many happy times with dear David Aylor, my son José Luis Bouza and all our family wish to express our deep pain and sorrow for the demise of our dearest unforgettable friend David. No other words can we add ...we are just heartbroken.
David was a sweet, generous, loving human being. Losing him so soon and unexpectedly is quite hard to bear for all who met him and knew of his personal values.
Our condolences to his dearest son Fletcher, as well as his family and friends.
RIP dear unforgettable friend David Aylor.

I was so hurt to hear that David passed. I worked for David and I can honestly say he made his firm work environment feel like family. David treated his employees like family. He opened his home up to us and hosted dinners, cook outs and other events. During the holidays he took care of his employees and made sure he put a smile on our faces. I'll miss his smile and him giving me a big hug every time he saw me. David you were an amazing person and passionate about your criminal career. Your jokes and the way you made others laugh was like no other. This all still seems like a dream. Rest David! -Nakeia Pinckney-Holmes

He was kind enough to bless our church youth with tickets to a Stingrays game and a book for our kid's club. He was so good to his community. This is a big loss for Charleston. We are praying for his family and friends. It is so hard on the people left behind when our Father calls us home. Blessing to you all.

Cynthia and I were saddened to learn of David's passing. Although we haven't seen David or the family in many years, we retain fond memories of them from our (and their) younger days. There's nothing worse than losing a child, and we can only imagine the profound sadness that Pete, Jean and other family members are experiencing. Our prayers go out to them.
