"Mike was always known for his happy and cheerful personality that lit up a room when he walked in and regardless of any situation, he always kept a positive mindset that was influential on many," the Bayville Volunteer Emergency Medical Services, of which McCabe was a life member, shared in a Facebook post. "He loved helping his community and really valued what he was able to do for people in any way."

He was a big advocate for the squad, the EMS said, along with "many other" emergency service organizations.

"Most of all, Mike was so proud of his kids and family which he always talked about the most," the EMS wrote.

McCabe was also a member of the Knights of the Inferno Motorcycle Club Mother Chapter, where he was known as "Pitbull."

"Our brother Pitbull was a former Bayville EMS EMT and former club State Treasurer," the club wrote in a Facebook post.

"We know that our brother passed away doing what he loved on the saddle of his ride," the motorcycle club said. "Please pray for our brothers family and may God bless and watch over them. We will ride with you again one day brother."

Services have not yet been announced for McCabe.
