He now watches over "the loves of (his) life" wife, Carol and eight-year-old son, Thomas. He is also survived by his mother, Ann Donlin of Arizona; his brother, Michael Donlin and family of California; and other beloved relatives and friends too numerous to mention. He was a longtime member of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Byzantine Catholic Church and St. Thomas Aquinas Catholic Church.

He was preceded in death by his father, Bernard Donlin, and all of his grandparents.
