Kevin Brophy Obituary
In addition to his acting career, Brophy's outgoing personality and sense of humor found a place to shine while he worked at the Hotel Bel Air and the Luxe Hotel, Beverly Hills. Kevin was a lifelong Dodger fan and lover of rock n' roll, especially The Rolling Stones, Grateful Dead and George Harrison. He loved classic cars, especially his '57 Chevy and red Triumph TR4A.
Known for his positive attitude and limitless faith, despite being diagnosed with stage four cancer, he lived 10 years. Five of them in total remission, before he succumbed to it & died at their home in Rancho Santa Fe, CA. Kevin will be remembered for his quick wit, love of family and friends and gratefulness of spirit.
Kevin is survived by his wife, Amy Prettyman Brophy, his mother Carol, brother John (Wendy), his children Kelly, Michael (Lindsey), Megan, Ryan, and grandchildren Jarrah and Saylor. His Celebration of Life will be held at 11 AM on Saturday, June 29, at St. Cyril's Church in Encino.

When I was young I had such a crush on him when he played Lucan. In the early 2000's I found his address and wrote him. He responded with a letter and a signed autograph. I was so proud. Many prayers go out to his family

I´ve always sensed that the innate goodness of the Lucan character was a genuine reflection of who he was as a person..sorry I never got to meet him in person. God bless his family and friends with peace, comfort, hope and the divine light and love that was revealed in Kevin´s life!

His charisma & magnetic personality shown through on the television screen for me many years ago when he played the character Jocko on the Hardy Boys Mysteries, than later on the magical series he started in, "Lucan." Wish I could of met him as he seemed very likeable. God Bless you Kevin as your acting touched my life and so many others.

We met Kevin when my wife and I were guests at an event at The Hotel Bel Air about 25 years ago when he was a valet parking cars. In conversation with him we realized that he was "the actor" we both remembered by name and, most notably, from his time as the star of "Lucan." We later had an opportunity to meet his wife, Amy, as we sought to help him connect with an agent - which he did not have at the time. We were no less than AWED by the positive attitudes that they both had about life, irrespective of the asinine, mercurial nature of the entertainment industry. Though we left LA for Orlando 20 years ago, our memories of them both made this news especially sad to read. Our hearts are with Amy and the entire family!
With love from O-Town,
