Chris H Reichardt

Chris Reichardt, 81, a deeply beloved husband, brother and friend, passed away on October 29, 2025 following a three-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Throughout his illness he maintained his warm smile, never once complaining despite the immense challenges he faced.

Born on July 12, 1944 to Hugo and Barbara Reichardt, Chris grew up in Farmington, Michigan. He was a proud graduate of Michigan State University before serving his country in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Vietnam. Chris embarked on a long and successful career as a sales executive in the automotive industry, retiring at the age of 62.

A lifelong sports enthusiast, Chris's loyalty to the Detroit Red Wings and the Detroit Lions remained steadfast, even after moving to Florida for six years and later settling in Arizona for a decade. He will be remembered as the sweetest, kindest man who rarely had a negative word to say about anyone, touching all who knew him with his gentle spirit.

Chris is survived by his loving wife of 48 years, Andrea, his twin brother Karl Reichardt, sister-in-law Carol, his brother-in-law David Sellers and his nephew Kurt (Audrey) Reichardt. He will be deeply missed by his family and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in his memory to the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
