Kevin Lewis Brophy, 66, passed away on March 1, 2021, in West Palm Beach, Fla.
The son of the late John A. Brophy and Gladys (Lewis) Brophy, Dr. Brophy was a distinguished doctor of equine veterinarian medicine for more than three decades and considered preeminent in the field of equine lameness. He achieved an undergraduate degree at Pennsylvania State University and then continued his education at the University of Florida-Gainesville obtaining both Master's and Doctoral degrees there. His practice spanned many states including Florida, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland.
In addition to his veterinarian practice, as an entrepreneur Dr. Brophy developed and owned a successful distribution company, ABBA Vet Supply, for many years. He was a nature enthusiast and had a lifetime passion for learning. His kind and giving heart was central to how he treated his clients, both human and four legged, as well as those that he considered family and friends. Despite the competitiveness in the field of performance horse equine medicine Dr. Brophy kept the horses' well-being his first priority.
Dr. Brophy is survived by his two children, John G. Brophy and Ella R. Brophy, and three siblings: Robert P. Brophy of Hershey, Pa., Nancy B. Oberreit of Yardley, Pa., and Karen B. Ebert of Egg Harbor Township, N.J., his twin; as well as four nephews and five nieces, seven grandnieces and nephews and many dear friends. He was predeceased by his brother Ronald A. Brophy.
Cremation occurred, and a Celebration of Life will be scheduled for a later date.
As Kevin was a true lover of all animals, donations to Funny Farm Rescue and Sanctuary, 6908 Railroad Blvd., Mays Landing, NJ 08330 would be appropriate and appreciated by his family or another charity of one's choice.
