Unwin died at Danetre Hospital in [[Daventry]] on 12 January 2002. He is buried in the churchyard at [[Long Buckby]], with Frances, who predeceased him in 1993. Their gravestone bears the epitaph, "Reunitey in the heavenly-bode{{Spaced ndash}}Deep Joy!".

A thanksgiving service was held at St Lawrence's Church in Long Buckby and ended with a rendering of "[[Bye Bye Blackbird]]" by John Percival and friends. The [[valediction]] had been prepared by Unwin's family in his own style: "Goodly Byelode loyal peeploders! Now all gatherymost to amuse it and have a tilty elbow or a nice cuffle-oteedee{{Spaced ndash}}Oh Yes!"

[[Suns of Arqa]] released a tribute album to Unwin (entitled "Tributey") following his death, featuring a selection of his works with the band over the years, as well as various interviews.

Unwin's work is considered to have been a significant influence on the two books written by [[John Lennon]]: ''[[In His Own Write]]'' (1964) and ''[[A Spaniard in the Works]]'' (1965).<ref>{{cite book |first=Chris |last=Ingham |title=The Rough Guide To The Beatles |page=220 |publisher=Rough Guides Ltd |edition=3rd |date=2009 |isbn=978-1-84836-525-4}}</ref>
