He and his wife had a 5-year-old daughter and a 2-month-old son, as of January 2002.

Musician Greg Dulli who appears with his band The Afghan Whigs in Demme's film, Beautiful Girls, was so distraught when he heard of his death that he scrapped a nearly completed album for his band, The Twilight Singers, and wrote an entirely new set of songs.
