Peter was born on June 29, 1933 in Guayaquil, Ecuador. He was the son of the late Nestor Cevallos and Carmen Castro.

Peter worked in the magazine and books industry as a distribution representative for over 40 years.

As the family patriarch, he was constantly sought out for advice and guidance by all that loved him.

He is survived by his one daughter, Monica Cevallos-Fulcher (Michael Moravcik); one son, Peter P. Cevallos, Jr. (Laura); one brother, Manuel "Ramon" Mosquera; one sister, Josefina "Pepa" Cevallos; two grandchildren, Stephen Cevallos, and Madison Moravcik Cevallos, and many nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that donations can be made to the Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL).
