Brian L. Reichart

Brian L. Reichart, 55, passed away peacefully on Monday, April 3, 2023, following a courageous battle with cancer, at Hospice & Community Care in Mount Joy, Pennsylvania. He was the beloved husband of Lela S. (Mummert) Reichart for 27 years and loving father to Ryder L. Reichart and Artem T. Reichart.

Born February 24, 1968, in Hanover, Brian was the son of Margaret A. (Miller) Reichart of New Oxford, and the late Thomas L. Reichart.

He was a 1986 graduate of Delone Catholic High School, and a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in New Oxford.  Brian was a 1990 graduate of Millersville University where he participated in ROTC and played varsity football.  He served in the U.S. Army at Ft. Benning, in the Mechanized Infantry Unit, served as an Army Ranger and Airborne; and was a Captain in the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, The Old Guard at Arlington National Cemetery where he led more than 100 funeral processions. 

He was employed by Amazon where he spent nearly 18 years in leadership roles, exemplifying core principles and influencing the success of his various teams. He was also employed at Yellow Buttercup Farms, was a member of New Oxford Social & Athletic Club, and was a supporter of youth athletics and Delone Catholic sports. 

A mentor both professionally and personally, Brian seized every opportunity to teach and share practical guidance with his sons and the many young people fortunate to spend time on the family farm and surrounding woodland. An avid outdoorsman, he graciously shared his passion and knowledge of nature, wildlife, and stewardship.
