He is survived by his wife, Patricia “Trish” Fugatt of North Oxford; two daughters, Ashley Esteves of Worcester, and Angie Esteves of Salem, NH; his nephew, Nicholas Esteves; and many cousins. He was predeceased by his brother, Alexander “Wick” Esteves.

He was born in Worcester, son of the late Alexander A. and Kathleen A. (Sheehan) Esteves, and lived most of his life in Worcester before moving to Oxford in 2006.
