The sequence $\{a\_n\}$ is an arithmetic progression with a common difference of $d (d \neq 0)$, and $a\_1 = 2$. Moreover, $a\_2$, $a\_4$, and $a\_8$ form a geometric progression.
(I) Find the general term formula for the sequence $\{a\_n\}$;
(II) If $b\_n = \frac{2}{(n + 1)a\_n} (n \in \mathbb{N}^*)$, find the sum of the first $n$ terms, $T\_n$, of the sequence $\{b\_n\}$.
