Peter "Pete" Traylor

July 17, 1967 - November 27, 2016

Pete Traylor passed away November 27, 2016 as a result of injuries received in a motorcycle accident. Pete was born in New London, CT, July 17, 1967. His family moved around early on for his father's work as a Nuclear Engineer. In 1978, the Traylor family finally settled down in Cary NC and there began the legend of Petey-whoop Traylor. All through his school years, and after, Pete had many friends and was the life of the party. Everyone has a "Remember that time Pete" story. He was a give-you-the-shirt-off-his-back, cry-on-his-shoulder, and tell-you-straight-up-like-it-is kinda guy. In a word, Pete was authentic. Pete was just Pete and that's why we all loved him. He had no children of his own, but he was Uncle Pete to many children--too many to name here. He was also a friend to many dogs and cats. There's so much to say about Pete, but we'll conclude with this: There will never be another Uncle Pete. He will be terribly missed, but never forgotten. Pete was preceded in death by his parents, George and Efrosine Traylor. He is survived by his brother Chuck and his wife Cheryl, nieces Lindsey and Ashleigh, and his girlfriend Lana Saulmon. There will be a celebration of Pete's life at All Saint's Orthodox Church, 520 Buck Jones Road Raleigh NC, Friday December 2, 12-2 pm.
