Age 39, of Pittsburgh, unexpectedly on Sunday, October 15, 2023. Loving father of Meekha Moleko; devoted son of David A. and Nancy (Munroe) Estes; brother of David A. (Adele) Estes and Holly (Ethan) Doetsch; uncle of Beau and Brody Estes. Also survived by aunts, uncles, cousins, and his son's mother, Rethabile Moleko. Peter was born and raised in Pittsburgh and was the epitome of a "hometown boy", attending Mt. Lebanon High School before earning an undergraduate degree in accounting at West Virginia University, or “Dub V” as he liked to call it. After college, he worked in various accounting jobs in the Pittsburgh area, most notably ten years for the Pittsburgh Public School District and most recently for Wesley Family Services. He was an avid sports fan, and loved watching, analyzing, and talking about the Steelers, Penguins, and Pirates. He enjoyed fishing with his father in Deep Creek, Maryland, and between the two of them, they had many fish stories to tell, including "the one that got away". Peter had the rare and uncanny ability to make almost anyone laugh within moments of walking into a room. There was no one else he loved more than his son, Meekha, and he would do anything to put a smile on his little face. While his life was cut too short, he lives on in the memories of those who loved him and, in the features, and personality of the son he helped create. Service and Interment were private. If desired, donations may be made to a Go Fund Me campaign set up for his son at https://www.gofundme.com/f/peter-estes.
