John Flint McCabe was born May 13, 1973, in Seattle, Washington to Jack and Jane McCabe. He graduated from Stanwood High School and was a proud member of the class of 1991.
From his youth, he was always athletic and considered himself an adrenaline junkie. After graduation, Flint moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado to pursue his love of skiing by competing in the freestyle mogul. He had dreams of Olympic gold, but they were dashed by a major ski injury. In his final competition, Flint injured his back and unknowingly damaged his pancreas, which led to him becoming a Type 1 diabetic. Sadly, he fought 20 years of pain and side effects.
On Jan. 1, 2023, at 9:19 a.m., Flint lost the battle with Type 1 diabetes while living in Moses Lake, Washington. He leaves behind his wife of 22 years, Rebekah, his 20-year-old daughter Ana and his mother Jane. He was preceded in death by his father, Jack. He had no siblings. His hobbies included fly tying and watching cooking shows. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hunt and fly fish. He was a certified mixologist and worked all aspects of the hospitality industry.
He will be sorely missed by many friends, family and loved ones.
Services will be held at Lake City Foursquare Church in Moses Lake, Washington at 2 p.m. on Jan. 12. All are welcome who’d like to come pay their respects and show the family some love. In lieu of flowers, a GoFundMe has been created to help with costs at gofund.me/0fce0010.
