He is survived by his wife, Lynne Estes; daughters, Jennifer Norwood, Ashley LaFata (Frank) and Lindsey Eggleston and three brothers, Howard Estes (Lynn), TJ Estes and William Estes (Sandy). He had 9 grandchildren and three great grandchildren.
He was a familiar face at First National Bank and then later at First Virginia Bank. Auburn was a jack of many traits; after leaving the bank you could find him at Wilson Electric Company and then Farmville Automotive. His passion was his family and The Five County Fair.
