COLUMBIA - A Celebration of Life service for Eric Paul Federspiel, 63, will be held at 2:00 p.m. Sunday, June 14, 2020, at Dunbar Funeral Home, Dutch Fork Chapel, in Irmo. Family will receive friends immediately following the service.
Born February 21, 1957 in Indianapolis, IN, Eric was son of the late Harold J. and Suzanne Reichart Federspiel. He received a B.S. degree in Industrial Engineering from Purdue University, was Founder and President of Applied Coating Systems, and was an active member of First Baptist Church Columbia. Eric graduated to glory Thursday, June 11, 2020.
Eric was a man of adventure, lover of nature and all outdoors, a gourmet chef with the true gift of hospitality, eager to help and serve, a hard worker and provider, wanting the best for his family, with a keen wit and wisdom that caught others off guard but always brought a smile. His service to his church and to God was a blessing. Until his last breath he remained faithful to God, his family, and his country.
Left to cherish his memory are his loving wife of 22 years, Cindi Boone Federspiel of Columbia, daughters, Audrey F. Onderdonk (Anson) of Raleigh and Danielle Brooke Federspiel of Columbia, stepdaughter, Brandi Bradley (Marshall) of Lexington, stepson, Hunter Epps of Columbia, grandchildren, Roland and Jolene Onderdonk, Tyler, Landon and Mackenzi Bradley, three sisters, Kathy Henselbecker (Brett), Denise Townley (Mick), and Carol Federspiel, brother, John Federspiel (Cynthia), and a large family and a host of friends.
The family wishes to thank the wonderful staff of Prisma Home Hospice, and a special thanks to caregiver, Stephon White who provided Eric exceptional care with dignity.
