Marinelli's death was confirmed by his friend, artist Leigh J. McCloskey, who said you could not find a 'a sweeter man or a dearer friend' than the late entertainer.

'He was a great acting partner, teacher, philosophical friend, passionate believer in people. He added the late actor was 'a storyteller extraordinaire that with laughter and depth revealed the human spirit so beautifully and in so many different ways.' Marinelli portrayed the character Bunny Tagliatti, a cross dressing crime boss, on 171 episodes of the soap Santa Barbara between 1988 and 1990.
