Josephy J. Brophy

1954 - 2022

Brophy, Joseph J. Our family is saddened to announce the passing of Joseph John "Jody" Brophy on April 13, 2022. Born September 26, 1954 in Hartford, CT to the late Jacqueline and Robert Brophy, Jody was raised in Bristol and graduated from St Paul High School in 1972. He went on to graduate from Unity College in 1976. Jody practiced Tai Chi and Qi Gong, loved to read, ski, sail, scuba dive, play golf, fish, listen to music and was an amazing cook. He was a sensitive soul who had a kind heart and was a good friend to those around him. Despite numerous attempts at gaining sobriety, Jody's addiction took him from this world. Our comfort is knowing he is free from this struggle at last. He is survived by his son, Benjamin Brophy, his siblings Jan Jones, Rob Brophy and Joy Latvis and their families. A memorial gathering will be held this summer in Connecticut. Those wishing to do something in Jody's memory can make a contribution to Brian's Angels Homeless Outreach in Bristol, CT.
