It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of a beloved father, son, grandson, brother, nephew, uncle and friend. Andrew A. Reichow passed away July 23, 2021, at the Logan Health Center in Kalispell. Andy was born on June 21, 1979, in Hillsboro, Ore.

In 1990, Andy moved to Colorado where he graduated from Arvada West High School in 1998. Andy also attended college at the University of Northern Colorado and the University of Montana where he majored in health and exercise science. In 1999, Andy married Jennifer (Brower) Reichow and they raised three beautiful children.

Andy was always on the move. He loved skiing, bicycling (road and mountain) and hiking. He also played tennis and football at Arvada West High School. One of the highlights of Andy’s youth was serving as a ball boy for the Minnesota Vikings.

Andy worked in the medical field in Colorado, Iowa and Montana in neurodiagnostics and sleep medicine.

Andy is survived by his parents, Denice Purdy-Patrick and Terry Patrick; his grandparents, Jerry and Carolyn Reichow; his children, Jacob, Caleb and Ellie; his siblings, Jamie Caruso (Jared), Josh Patrick (Nadia), Tyler Patrick (Megan) and Callie Blaz (Teagen). He also leaves behind an entire fan club of uncles, aunts, cousins, nieces and nephews.

We will all miss that smile on Andy’s face and that twinkle in his eyes.

A graveside service will be held Aug. 6 at 2 p.m. at the City of Libby Cemetery. A celebration of life will be held in Colorado later this summer for Andy.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in memory of Andrew Reichow to Cabinet Peaks Medical Center (CPMC) Foundation/Missions Fund or Libby Christian Church. Donations can be sent directly to the charities or to Denice Purdy-Patrick, 182 Cabinet Heights Road, Libby, MT 59923.
