Beloved and devoted Northampton County teacher, Peter R. McCabe, died unexpectedly at the age of 37.
McCabe spent his entire career teaching in the Easton School District, first at the middle school, and then at the high school.
Born in New York City, Peter grew up in Forks Township, Easton, before graduating from Easton Area High School in 2003, his obituary says.
Peter was described as a “natural born teacher with an ability to communicate with students at all levels” and had enjoyed countless traditions, from marching band activities, to graduation, AAG, and many more.
He had a heart of gold and a one-of-a-kind sense of humor. He was a dedicated fan of the Giants and Yankees, in memory of his maternal grandfather, and loved to make everyone laugh by imitating cartoon characters and telling jokes.
Peter leaves behind his loving mother, Natalie McCabe (Ranieri); his partner, Jen McLaughlin, her daughters, Adriana and Emily, his sister, Beth McCabe, extended family, Jennifer (McCabe) Carlson and Michael McCabe, aunt and cousins, neighbors, and more.
“One of my favorite teachers in high school, who truly cared about his students,” reads one of the numerous tributes on Peter’s obituary. “Thank you for having such a positive impact on me. Speaking on behalf of the students, we all loved you.”
Donations can be made in Peter’s memory to The Center of Animal Health and Welfare.
