Sean McCabe of Winthrop, WA passed away this morning after a courageous battle with thyroid cancer. His wife Laura and his 2 beautiful little girls Novie and Dashe were at his side. Sean was an accomplished alpine and rock climber, loving husband and father, high school art teacher, and artist whose work has been featured in Alpinist magazine and BD and Patagonia catalogs. A memorial is planned for Sunday November 15 at 1:30 pm at the Liberty Bell High School in Winthrop, WA.

Im sorry for your loss and for his entire family. For me, there are few things more important than climbing and education. Sounds like Sean may have shared this with me. RIP.

I have a sticker of one of Sean's pieces in my truck. It's his bouldering homage to an Everett Ruess woodcarving. I always liked all of Sean's artwork but that one is my favorite.

Condolences to family and friends.
