McCormick's Cy Young Award plaque was damaged in the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake after it fell off the wall of his Cupertino condominium. Although he was initially going to get the crack at the back repaired, he decided against it, noting how "it had more character now." He then housed it in a special room along with other memorabilia from his career. Family McCormick had four children from his first marriage to Carolyn. He was married to wife Dierdre for 34 years. They had one daughter, Tara. After retiring from Danka, they moved from Sunnyvale, California and settled in Pinehurst, North Carolina. At the O'Neal School in Southern Pines, North Carolina, McCormick assisted the school's baseball program and donated his baseball memorabilia to the school to help them with their auctions. Death McCormick died on June 13, 2020, at his home in North Carolina. He was 81, and had been suffering from Parkinson's disease in the years leading up to his death.
