Eric Offutt, 42, of Madisonville, KY passed away on Friday, September 10, 2021, at Baptist Health Deaconess in Madisonville.

He was born on February 19, 1979, in Madisonville, KY, to Tony and Martha Offutt. Eric was of the Baptist Faith.

To know Eric, was to dream with Eric. No dream was ever out of reach. He knew how to make it happen, no matter how impossible it sounded. One of the things we miss the most is asking him questions. Day to day no matter the subject he knew the answer. Directions, facts, how to handle hard choices, sports related everything, he knew it. He was a man of great integrity and insisted on doing his best by others. But how can someone like that also be the most fun and entertaining person in the room? That was Eric. His laugh was contagious. He has been described by so many as a leader, just by being in his presence you wanted to shoot for the stars.

Some of these dreams included owning and riding dirt bikes, motorcycles, racecars, traveling, camping, playing and watching sports, staying close and connected to his best friends and family. Building a dream home, starting a family, and showing them every day that their dreams matter too. He passionately gave life to the dreams of the ones he loved. Hug your family, make amends where they can be made, and love each other freely. May Eric's legacy of greatness spread beyond our walls. In loving memory of our Eric Offutt.
