PETER TRISTRAM INMAN

EASLEY— Peter Tristram Inman, 65, passed from this life Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2017.

Peter was born to Barbara Moulton Maxfield Inman and Alfred Lee Greene Inman in Portland, Maine. The family migrated south with Saco Lowell in 1955, living in Winston-Salem and Sanford, N.C., before settling in Easley in 1961. Pete attended Northside Elementary, East End Elementary, Easley Junior High and Easley High School, graduating in 1970.

After a brief enlistment in the U.S. Navy, Pete attended Clemson University, graduating in December 1996 with a B.S. in pre-architecture. He then moved to Atlanta and lived there until 2013, when his health prevented him from being able to drive. He later received another B.S. from Georgia Tech in engineering.

He married Melitta Bognar on Sept. 17, 1978, and on April 3, 1980, they were blessed with the arrival of Alaina Rose Inman, who was Pete’s pride and joy. After that marriage failed, he married Diana Wu in February 1999 and worked as an independent contractor in Iraq, doing climate control at the base in Tikrit to maximize his earnings so he could fund the launch of his wife’s clothing design business, Dianaria. Pete was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2008.

In addition to his daughter and ex-wives, Peter is survived by his grandson, Edwin, born Sept. 13, 2017; son-in-law, Mark Percival; brother, Robin (Janie) Inman of Pelzer; “baby sister” Ianthe “Jan” Inman of Greenville; nephews, Theron (Trixi) of Oklahoma and Thor (Hannah) of Simpsonville; nieces, Erika (Charlie) Haynes Leapard of Simpsonville and Angela (Daniel) Haynes Carpenter of Greenville; and great-nieces and nephews, Jeremiah, Lex, TJ, Lexi, Hunter, Hanna, Madison, McKenzie, Rylie, Ava, Tegan and Cora, who is expected next month.

Pete grew up a member of St. Michael’s Episcopal Church in Easley. He later was born again and became a Southern Baptist and member of what he called Dr. Stanley’s church until his death. He attended Rock Springs, 5 Point, NewSpring and most often, New Life Baptist Church in Greenville.

A memorial service will be held on Aug. 25 at New Life Baptist Church in Greenville.

The family would like to express great appreciation to the first responders of Easley, particularly the Easley Police Department, who came to the home whenever Pete called, hallucinating an emergency. Also, they would like to thank the staff and customers of Jimmy’s Restaurant, where he was assisted by so many. He saw the eclipse there just two days before he passed.

Memorials may be made to the charity of one’s choice, Parkinson’s research or New Life Baptist Church.
