On October 31, 2006 we lost truly one of the best in the business. Charles "David" Aguar passed away suddenly doing what he loved as a cinematographer for Turner Studios, in a place he loved, the Appalachian Mountains.

David was born on Christmas Eve, 1950, in Johnson City, Tennessee, and moved with his family to Athens, Georgia in 1970. He was, above all things, a great father, a loving friend, and devoted son and brother. He was known for his endless curiosity, adventurous spirit, love of life, and ceaseless dedication to everything he did.

David's dream was to make the world a better place by documenting environmental causes and community service issues. He was recognized for his work by two Emmy awards and was recently nominated for a third for his work on TBS Pathfinders.

Not only was Dave an exceptional videographer, but a genuinely kind and affectionate person. His contagious smile and infectious laugh is missed by all of us in his Turner family. (less info)
