Dr. Pape was cherished and respected by many in the San Marcos and surrounding community for his compassion and devotion to his patients and clients, and his special love for cantankerous cats. He was always willing to share his time, skills and knowledge with anyone who needed it, whether it be family, employees or clients.

In addition to practicing medicine, Dr. Pape also served on the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee for Texas State University.

Dr. Pape passed away on November 7th, 2016. Dr. Pape is survived by his wife Barbara and their son Rex. It is our goal at Kings Highway Animal Clinic to honor his legacy by continuing to provide the high quality care and service that Dr. Pape provided to his clients and patients for over 30 years. |
