Born in Carmel on Nov. 16, 1983 to parents James and Kathleen, Brophy was known as a devoted father to his five children, reads his memorial.
“He enjoyed the outdoors and loved fishing, especially with his children,” his obituary said. “He loved to cook and he enjoyed cooking for family and friends.”

In a tribute on Facebook, the company described his death as a tremendous loss.
“He will be sorely missed by all of us and our customers,” the company wrote.
