Herol spent his final months in Hahira, Georgia where he could be visited by his great-grandchildren and other family on a weekly basis.

Survivors include his siblings, Paul Balentine and Jesselene Daugherty; one daughter, Lanette Stokes; son-in-law, Michael Franano; daughter-in-law, Kathy Balentine; grandsons, Harold Allen Stokes and wife Zulfiya and Corey Balentine and wife Whitney; granddaughter, Kara Ford and husband Travis; and great-grandchildren, Leo Stokes, Lily Stokes, Eston Ford, Anna Ford, Beckham Balentine and Elle Balentine.

Balentine; and his sisters, H. Juliette Balentine Horton and Iva Jean Balentine Faughn.
