Equine veterinarian Paul E. McCune, D.V.M., of Cedar Lake, Ind., passed away peacefully at home on Sunday, March 24, 2019. He was 59.

McCune was born on June 11, 1959 in Alliance, Neb. to Dee and Dorothy (O’Keefe) McCune, who preceded him in death. Following his high school graduation from St. Agnes Academy, Paul earned degrees from the Universities of Nebraska and Minnesota, becoming a veterinarian in 1985.

McCune settled in northwest Indiana, where he established Illiana Equine Clinic in 1991. People in a wide area relied on him for his compassionate care on and off the racetrack. His free time was spent with family, travelling, and anything to do with sports. He was a longtime member of Holy Name Catholic Church in Cedar Lake.

Paul is survived by his wife of 22 years Debbie; son Kyle; daughter Brooke; and brothers Dan (Jo), Martin and Patrick. No stranger to tragedy, Paul suffered the loss of his sister Deanne and her husband Wade Ellis, who left two sons, Dan and Michael to grow up in his childhood home. He was also preceded in death by his older brother David.

Visitation will take place Thursday (March 28) from 2 p.m. until a time of prayers at 7 p.m. at Burns Funeral Home, 10101 Broadway, Crown Point, Ind.

Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Paul McCune.
