The sources claimed that Alfred “Fred” Reichel passed away at 32, after a battle with Myxoid/Round Cell Liposarcoma.
Alfred was born to his father Alfred and his mother Eleanor (Brinch) Reichel.
He attended Abington Senior High School and graduated in 2011. While working full-time, he earned a Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing from Fox School of Business at Temple University.
Reichel was a devoted Philadelphia sports fan, especially when it came to the Phillies, though he found joy in all sports, including golf, UFC, and WWE.
He had an extraordinary memory, often recalling even the most obscure sports statistics, which he used to connect with others.
His love for Philadelphia extended to its food scene, where he was always eager to try a new restaurant, though he found equal joy in the kitchen learning to cook for those he loved.

If you havent heard already, my best friend Freddie recently lost his battle with cancer. He had an amazing sense of humor and comedic timing, a huge passion for sports, a surprisingly good singing voice, was a great husband and father, and was one of the best people, and friends, I have ever known.

I was so sad to hear of the passing of Freddie Reichel, a friend I made in college in a gen ed course, outside of the world of music. It was a blessing to sit next to someone who didn’t know me in my musical capacities, and just have a friend to look forward to seeing in class. We even worked on a group project about the subculture psychology of “fangirling”. I used to stack my starbursts according to color, and he would knock them over on purpose.

I had no clue he was suffering with such a rare and fatal disease over these past few years. But I feel so lucky to have known Freddie and wish him the most peaceful rest. May there be stacks of starbursts for you to destroy in a jenga-type mentality.
