The Death Shook the Community
Dan Brophy’s death shook the community, especially the Oregon culinary world where he was working as a chef. Among those in distress was his wife. Nancy, the novelist who sold Medicare and life insurance policies, seemed quite distraught about Dan’s death.
“For those of you who are close to me and feel this deserved a phone call, you are right, but I’m struggling to make sense of everything right now,” Nancy wrote on Facebook a day after his death. Almost everyone who knew Dan was in shock and disbelief that anyone would want to harm him, let alone take his life.
