A concurrent RESOLUTION

to request the department of transportation name the 
portion of United States Highway 521 in Clarendon County from its intersection 
with Hill Street traveling north to the Manning City Limit "David Arnold McCabe 
Sr. Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate signs or markers at this location 
containing these words.

Whereas, a cherished 
pillar of the Manning community, David Arnold McCabe Sr.'s friendly demeanor, 
kindness, and passionate spirit touched all who knew him; and

Whereas, born in Sumter 
on October 23, 1946, to the late Edward Earl and Jessie Laura Spigner McCabe, 
his life was marked by his steadfast commitment to service and the betterment 
of his community. He proudly served his country as a member of the South 
Carolina National Guard. After his distinguished military service, McCabe 
embarked on a career as a skilled tool and die maker at Federal Mogul, a global 
supplier of powertrain and safety technology. Here, he was respected for his 
meticulous work and collaborative nature; and

Whereas, it was in the 
realm of barbecue that McCabe truly made his mark. Along with his brothers, he 
cofounded McCabe's BBQ, a family run establishment that quickly became a 
culinary landmark. He was especially proud when the restaurant garnered 
accolades that included features in such magazines as Southern Living, 
Garden and Gun, and SC Midlands BBQ Trail. He saw these not as 
personal triumphs, but as victories for all of Clarendon County; and

Whereas, when his 
brothers retired, he welcomed the opportunity to work alongside his son and 
daughter, continuing the family legacy and ensuring the business would thrive. 
His role as a mentor and leader was as natural to him as his ability to create 
mouthwatering barbecue; and

Whereas, beyond his 
professional endeavors, McCabe's faith and community involvement were 
cornerstones of his life. He was a devout member of Clarendon Baptist Church 
for more than seventy years serving as a deacon, providing guidance and support 
to fellow congregants, and embodying the very essence of servant leadership; 
and

Whereas, he also was a 
proud member of the Clarendon County Gideons, an organization committed to distributing 
Bibles and sharing the Christian faith. His involvement with the Gideons was 
not merely a duty, but a heartfelt mission, as he believed in the power of the Word 
to bring hope and comfort to people everywhere; and

Whereas, he was a 
devoted husband to Mary Frances Beard McCabe, his wife of fifty-six years, a 
loving father to their children David Arnold McCabe Jr. and Lindy McCabe 
Morris, and he doted on his three grandchildren; and

Whereas, McCabe passed 
away peacefully on Sunday, August 6, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. 
Those who knew him remember his warm smile and generous heart. His ability to 
forge genuine connections with people from all walks of life was one of his most 
remarkable qualities; and

Whereas, passion for 
his work, his family, and his faith created a legacy that will be fondly 
remembered and deeply missed by those who had the privilege to know David 
Arnold McCabe Sr. It is only fitting and proper that he also is honored with a 
portion of highway in his beloved City of Manning named in his memory. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House 
of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the 
South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of 
Transportation name the portion of United States Highway 521 in Clarendon 
County from its intersection with Hill Street traveling north to the Manning 
city limit "David Arnold McCabe Sr. Memorial Highway" and erect appropriate 
signs or markers at this location containing these words.

Be it further resolved that 
a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
