Robert Keith FitzSimons, age 64 and a resident of the Springhill Community, died Thursday afternoon March 12, 2020 at Tulane University Hospital in New Orleans. He was a native and former longtime resident of St. Tammany Parish. Keith was a row crop farmer for many years before becoming the owner/operator of his own feed mill, Quality Feeds, manufacturing cattle and equine feed as well as bagging corn and other products. Keith developed a variety of horse feed that received national acclaim and was used all over the country including at Belmont Park in New York and other well-known tracks across the United States. The feed was recognized by a national horse industry magazine as the #1 available, and Keith was always proud of that accomplishment. He later entered the beef cattle business of differing breeds including Charolais, Angus and his favorite Brahman. His favorite animal in the world was his big Brahman bull which he affectionately named “Mr. Bull.” Keith loved to watch old western movies and TV shows and spend quality time with his family and friends.
