Brotherton, a Collegiate School graduate who works at Cross Over Ministry, seemed okay the last time his wife saw him.
"He was normal yesterday morning. He got up and made pancakes and seemed like he was in a good mood. No arguments or anything like that," Angie Brotherton said. "When I got out of the shower he was gone."
"We're nearly 24 hours with no contact," his sister said. "This is highly unusual."
Wet weather limited Thursday's police search, family members said. Friends and family planned to help police resume the search on Friday.
Pumphrey is asking anyone who sees her brother to call police immediately.
