What sources are you using to estimate the date? You would cite those sources,
just as you cite a source (or several sources) for a specific date.
For example, if you've found your person on the 1850 census, where he is listed
as age 67, and you can't find him in 1860, then you might estimate his death
date as 1850-1860. The sources would be the 1850 and 1860 census with a
narrative explanation as to why you think he died during this time frame and
what else you've done to try to pin down a more specific date. (Not finding
him on the census alone would not be enough to be certain he died during that
time frame).
If this doesn't answer your question, please ask again with more detail.
