A Senate RESOLUTION
TO EXPRESS PROFOUND SORROW UPON THE PASSING OF David Aylor AND TO EXTEND THE DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS FAMILY AND MANY FRIENDS.
Whereas, the members of the South Carolina Senate were deeply saddened to learn of the death of the prominent Lowcountry attorney, David Aylor, on January 2, 2023; and
Whereas, a native of Spartanburg, Mr. Aylor was born on January 6, 1981 to parents Lawrence "Pete" Keith Aylor and Jean Fletcher Aylor. Mr. Aylor received a bachelor's degree in Political Science from the College of Charleston in 2002 and a Juris Doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 2006; and
Whereas, Mr. Aylor began his career by working as a clerk for the South Carolina Senate Judiciary Committee, under Senator Glenn McConnell, for United States Magistrate Judge Robert S. Carr as well as for attorney Andrew J. Savage, III in Charleston. He then began his legal career by serving as an Assistant Solicitor in the Ninth Circuit Solicitor's Office for Charleston County; and
Whereas, in 2009, Mr. Aylor founded his law firm, David Aylor Law Offices, which he grew over the years to a team of twenty-two staff members and six locations around South Carolina. Through this firm, he and his staff of attorneys served over ten thousand clients in the Lowcountry of South Carolina and beyond. From his love of motorcycles, he also established Riders Law Group to provide representation for injured motorcyclists;
Whereas, in the courtroom, Mr. Aylor was a well-respected trial attorney. Two of his trials were featured in Dateline NBC episodes, and his high-profile casework has been covered in countless other media outlets at the local and national level; and
Whereas, outside of running his law practice, Mr. Aylor taught Criminal Justice as an adjunct professor at the College of Charleston and Trident Technical College and was appointed acting Prosecutor for the City of Hanahan. For the past couple of years, once a month, David ate lunch with a student from Hanahan Elementary School as a lunch buddy; and
Whereas, a civic leader, Mr. Aylor served with many community organizations, including Going Places, Communities in Schools of South Carolina, Be a Mentor, Charleston Animal Society, Charleston Hispanic Association, Boy Scouts of America, Birthdays for All, Push-Up & Up, Toys for Tots, and so many more; and
Whereas, David Aylor leaves to cherish his memory his parents; two brothers, John William Aylor (Lea) and Andrew "Drew" Lawrence Aylor; one son, Fletcher Jacob Aylor; and his niece, Aria Marie Aylor. He will be greatly missed. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, express profound sorrow upon the passing of David Aylor and extend the deepest sympathy to his family and many friends.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to the family of David Aylor.
