Kevin Lewis Brophy, 66, passed away on March 1, 2021 in West Palm Beach, Florida. The son of the late John A. Brophy and Gladys (Lewis) Brophy, Kevin was a distinguished doctor of equine veterinarian medicine for more than 3 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. Kevin’s 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.
