Funeral services for the late J. B. McKathan, who passed away suddenly Feb. 2, are scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 9, at the Roberts Funeral Home, 606 S. W. 2nd Avenue, in Ocala, FL. Viewing will take place from 1-4 p.m. to be followed immediately by a funeral service. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Old Friends Thoroughbred Retirement Home, 1841 Paynes Depot Rd., Georgetown, KY, 40324.

McKathan and his brother Kevin opened their training center in Citra three decades ago and forged relationships with top horsepeople such as Bob Baffert, the Zayat family and owner/breeder Charles Fipke, and horses, including Triple Crown winner American Pharoah, Silver Charm, Real Quiet and recent GI Pegasus World Cup runner-up Seeking the Soul.

A ‘Celebration of Life’ has also been planned for Wednesday, Mar. 6, from 4-6 p.m. on the grounds of the Ocala Breeders’ Sales Company.

For further information, contact Roberts Funeral Home at (352) 537-8111 or OBS at (352) 237-2154.
