Obituary for Jeremy David Reichart
Jeremy David Reichart, 40, of Des Moines, Iowa, died Friday, August 12, 2016, in his home. He was born September 29, 1975, in Chestertown, MD the son of Paul and Myra Reichart. Less than a year later his family moved to Bradford, PA, where he lived until he went off to college.
Reichart was a 1993 honors graduate of Bradford Area High School, where he played trumpet in the marching band. He then attended Edinboro University of Pennsylvania, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in December 1996. He was a semester ahead of his class, even though he also worked full time managing a restaurant in nearby Waterford, PA.
In 1997 Reichart moved to Des Moines to attend law school at Drake University, but after two years he left law school to pursue a full-time management position at the Hotel Fort Des Moines, where he had been working part-time. He later became vice president of Orchestrate Hospitality, which manages a variety of hotels and restaurants in the Des Moines area. In recent years he helped launch the popular Zombie Burger and Malo restaurants of which he was a co-owner.
Besides his parents, who now live in Gettysburg, PA, Reichart is survived by a brother, Dr. Daniel Reichart and his wife Lois Ann of Hillsborough, NC; a sister, Emily Catherman and her fiancé Matthew Fryar of Holly Springs, NC; one niece and three nephews; and several aunts, uncles and cousins.
