I would not chalk it up to a loss just yet. I would recommend treating the tree and working to improve the vigor/health of it to aid in its recovery.

I think that your tree may be weakened by a peach tree borer. Take a look at the following PDF – does the base of your tree look like the one in the photo?

If so, I recommend that you read the following article which tells you more about the peach tree borer and a course of treatment:
