Jeffrey T. McCabe

With heavy hearts, we announce the sudden passing of Jeffrey Thomas McCabe after suffering a heart attack on the morning of March 21, 2024. Jeff McCabe of Medford Lakes and more recently, Marlton left this world far too soon at age 57. Jeff was fun-loving, always ready to break the ice in a solemn moment or share a joke to make others laugh. With a twinkle in his beautiful blue eyes, a warm smile, and an encouraging word, Jeff's kindness and willingness to help others knew no bounds. Jeff will be deeply missed by all who knew him, but his memory will live on through the love and laughter he brought to those around him.

Jeff treasured time spent outdoors, hiking and camping with his family across the United States National Parks and abroad. Jeff's talents as a cartoonist and artist were just some of the gifts he humbly shared with his family and friends. Jeff enjoyed building Canoe Carnival floats with his motorhead buddies in Medford Lakes. Jeff cherished spending time with his kids on his homemade backyard golf course or with family on the Cape May beach. He was immensely proud of his children, Marketa and Jeffrey, and adored his dogs, Lilly and Bo.

Jeff worked at the Department of Transportation (NJDOT) in multiple capacities for over 20 years, making meaningful connections and friendships wherever he went. His colleagues describe him as an extremely hard worker who fit in seamlessly and whose welcoming presence always gave those around him a sense of belonging. Dedicated, kind, and energetic, Jeff brought meaning into the workplace.

Jeff is survived by his loving wife Jana, son Jeffrey, mother Cheri, sister Jodi (husband Keith), brother Jimmy (wife Jitka), nephews Keith, Colin, Shane, and Tommy, and niece Anna. His beloved daughter Marketa, with whom he shared a profound bond, and his father James F. McCabe preceded him in death.

A celebration of Jeff’s life will be held at Medford Lakes Country Club, 70 Oak Dr., Medford Lakes, NJ 08055, on Saturday, April 6, from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Friends and family are invited to share their favorite memories with Jeff at a formal memorial at 5:00 p.m.
