He married Joyce Heimes of Wynot, NE on June 18, 1960. (He married well.). They moved to Dallas, Texas in 1963 where he began his law practice. They had two children: Michael Donohoe and Ann Donohoe King. He enjoyed and loved his in-laws, Linda Donohoe and Chris King and his grandchildren: Nick Donohoe, Matt Donohoe, Katherine King and Allison King.
