Landon James McCabe left behind an imperfect body, seizures and years of pain. Landon influenced countless people during his stay, and touched many lives despite not walking or talking. Landon was born on May 4, 1987, to Jim and Rebecca McCabe. It was early in Landon?s life that his parents learned he would not be able to do the worldly things most can, as cerebral palsy was the diagnosis. Landon loved music, being outside and going on walks, animals and children. He not only blessed his parents, but had wonderful foster parents, Lyle and Norma Severance of Miles City who cared for Landon with love, compassion and dedication for twenty years, in addition to seeing to Landon?s vast medical needs. When his care became overwhelming, Landon entered the lives of the staff at Eagle Cliff Manor in Billings and resided there since May of 2010. Those grieving Landon are his parents, Jim and Rebecca McCabe; a brother, Matthew McCabe; foster parents, Lyle and Norma Severance; an extended foster family; his paternal grandmother, Hope McCabe; his maternal grandparents, Bob and Enid Krauth; his aunts and uncles, Rodney McCabe, Dean and Jan McCabe, Paul and Janet McCabe, Bradley and Ronnette McCabe, Roberta and Kevin Dawe, Wade and Laura Krauth and Geneal and Jim Bott and sixteen cousins. Also missing Landon is his special guardian, Brianna Gilbertson.
