The Reichmann family of Davidson, North Carolina is saddened to announce the death of their elder son, Nicholas, who died suddenly and peacefully in his sleep on Sunday, August 6, 2017. He was 34 years old. Nicholas, was born on May 6, 1983 in Manhasset, New York and resided with his family in the neighboring community of Port Washington. Nick, as he was best known to friends and family, was a graduate of the Henry Viscardi HS, a school dedicated to children with special needs. His love for sports allowed him to rub shoulders with sport greats like 'Smokin' Joe Frazier, Willis Reed, Whitey Ford and many members of the Stanley Cup championship team New York Islanders. Nick cherished his autographs and sports memorabilia. As a service to God and Country, Nick became an Eagle Scout who proudly wore his uniform to march in parades and while participating in local community service projects. His move to North Carolina, only 2 years ago with his parents, Toni and Joanne Reichmann, gave Nick the drive to spread his wings and achieve even further independence. His new boundless limits allowed him to make road trips to visit friends and family and vacation to foreign lands via land, sea and air. Having cerebral palsy never stopped Nick. He played competitively "adapted" sports and was a multiple gold medal winner in the New York State Games for Physically Challenged. Locally, he was employed as an assistant manager at Regal Cinemas in Birkdale Village. His dedication to his job earned him distinction by patrons and colleagues alike. Nick is survived immediately by his parents, Toni and Joanne and his brother and sister-in-law, Drs. Joseph and Colleen Reichmann. Nicholas was a practicing Catholic and a member of St. Mark Catholic Church in Huntersville. A Mass of Christian Burial is scheduled for Saturday, August 12, 2017 at 11:00AM at St. Mark Catholic Church of Huntersville with visitation for family and friends at 10:00 – 10:45 AM. A memorial mass service will be held at St. Peter of Alcantara Catholic Church in Port Washington, NY on Friday, September 8, 2017 at 10:30 AM. Burial to follow the service at St. Raymond Cemetery, Bronx, NY. In lieu of flowers, the family requests your prayers and, any donations be made to a charity of your choosing. In this time of sorrow and loss, we rejoice in the promise of Our Lord, to bring Nicholas "home." Nick, gentle son, you will never be forgotten. Goodbye, for now, and Godspeed.
