In 1980, Joel married Teresa Woodruff. In 1984, their only child, Daniel Alan, was born. In 1996, Joel met Katie Sullenger and they were together until Joel's passing.

Joel was preceded in death by his father, Dale, his mother, Mary, and his brother Danny ('72) .

He is survived by the love of his life and soul mate Katie Sullenger. He is also survived by his son Dan (Sky), brother Jack ('69)(Priscilla), sister Julie ('77) Froehlich (Steve), sister-in-law Barb Hogan Ham ('72), Teresa Woodruff (Mark).
