TO COMMEND THE HONORABLE DONALD RYAN MCCABE JR. FOR 
HIS SIX YEARS OF COMMITTED SERVICE TO THE CITIZENS OF HOUSE DISTRICT 96 IN 
LEXINGTON COUNTY AND TO WISH HIM SUCCESS AND FULFILLMENT IN ALL HIS FUTURE 
ENDEAVORS.

Whereas, for six years 
and with great integrity, the Honorable Donald Ryan McCabe Jr. has represented 
the citizens of Lexington County's District 96 in the House of Representatives 
of this great State; and

Whereas, a resident of 
Lexington, Ryan was born the son of Donald Ryan McCabe Sr. and Cheryl Tisdale 
Gamble in Columbia; and

Whereas, in initial 
preparation for his life's work, the young Ryan earned his bachelor's degree at 
Newberry College in 1995, followed by his J.D. from North Carolina's Campbell 
University School of Law in 1999. Along the way, he served as a law clerk for 
James C. Williams Jr., resident judge of the First Judicial Circuit; and

Whereas, before being 
elected to guard the faith, families, and freedom of his fellow citizens, Ryan 
began his career as an attorney. Today, as part of McCabe, Trotter & 
Beverly, he has a varied practice serving as general counsel to many community 
organizations and businesses and handling trust and estate planning, probate, 
and elder law matters for clients; and

Whereas, prior to his 
career as an attorney, Ryan was a trade contractor. He worked in the EIFS (USG 
system certified), stucco, plaster, drywall, and acoustical ceiling industries. 
He holds a South Carolina Residential Specialty Contractors License; and

Whereas, in 2020, Ryan 
McCabe was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives, where he has 
proven his value as a member of various committees, most recently the Judiciary 
Committee. Previously, he served on the Agriculture, Natural Resources, and 
Environmental Affairs Committee; Regulations and Administrative Procedures 
Committee; Medical, Military, Public, and Municipal Affairs Committee; and 
House Rules Committee. Moreover, he is a member of the South Carolina Freedom 
Caucus; and

Whereas, in the firm 
support of his family, Russell finds strength to carry out his duties. He and 
his lovely wife, Jennifer, are the proud parents of five children, Betsy Grace, 
Scarlett, Andrew, Juliana, and Luke. The whole family enjoys spending time camping, 
fishing, and hunting together; and

Whereas, Ryan McCabe's 
colleagues in the House of Representatives, understanding that he will not seek 
re-election, thank him for his dedicated service to the people of District 96 
and extend heartiest wishes for all the best life has to offer in the coming 
years. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the 
South Carolina House of Representatives, 
by this resolution, commend the Honorable Donald Ryan McCabe Jr. for his six 
years of committed service to the citizens of House District 96 in Lexington 
County and wish him success and fulfillment in all his future endeavors.

Be it further resolved 
that a copy of this resolution be presented to the Honorable Donald Ryan McCabe 
Jr.
