Paul BROPHY Obituary

25.06.1951 - 01.03.2025
Sweet love and best mate of Erica. Loving father and father-in-law of Timothy and Ashleigh, Rhonda and Neil. Awesome Poppa of Jasmine, Logan, Quinn, Daniel, Kieran, Calvin, Neko, Jaxson and Willow. Special friend to Rachel.


If tears could build a staircase
And memories a Lane
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you home again
Your body turns to Ashes
Your soul returns to your creator
But your spirit will remained with us forever

Private cremation was held on Monday 3rd of March. Special thank you to Trinity Home and Hospital for their loving care and kindness. Also a special thank you to South Taranaki Funeral Services for sending him on his way looking dapper and at peace.
