On Thursday, February 27, 2020, Eric Daniel Baughman, 41, went home to be with his Lord and Savior.
Eric was a 1996 graduate of Manheim Central High School and Lancaster County CTC, after which he participated in a chef externship at Glen Eyrie in Colorado Springs. He was married to Jennifer L. (McDaniels) Baughman for 17 years and resided in Manheim with their two children, Daniel and Samara.
Eric's notable employment ventures included Boy Scout's Camp Horseshoe, commercial plumbing, Environmental and Food Services Director at Magnolias of Lancaster, and pest elimination specialist at Ecolab prior to his disability. He attained the rank of Eagle Scout and volunteered at Teen Central and Manheim Christian Day School events.

He is also survived by several cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his beloved grandparents, William and Elizabeth Baughman and Russell and Dawn Johnson of Coatesville.
