Peter Gamboa

Peter Gamboa, age 71, was born on October 22, 1954, in Los Angeles, California, and passed away on December 21, 2025, in Claremont, California.

Peter was a beloved brother and a truly doting uncle whose greatest joy came from time spent with his nieces and nephews. He loved hosting them in San Diego, creating lasting memories through special outings to the San Diego Zoo, SeaWorld, Balboa Park, and many other adventures around the city he called home. Those days were filled with laughter, curiosity, and Peter’s quiet attentiveness—moments his family will treasure forever.

A lifelong learner with a brilliant and thoughtful mind, Peter graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He went on to build a successful career as a Software Engineer, working at eSeek and formerly with Sony, where he was respected for his intelligence, dedication, and problem-solving skills.

Outside of his professional life, Peter found great joy on the court. He was an avid tennis and pickleball enthusiast, embracing the challenge, camaraderie, and simple happiness the games brought him.

Peter is survived by his five siblings: Terrie Hutton, Susie Cohen, James Gamboa, Donald Gamboa, and Ann Gamboa, as well as many loving nieces and nephews who were deeply cherished and forever changed by his love.

Peter will be remembered for his kindness, generosity, and gentle presence. Though his absence is deeply felt, the memories he created and the love he gave will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew him.
