Obituary

Robert (Bob) Oran Feits, 64, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Saturday, January 4, 2025.

Born March 18, 1960, in New Brighton, PA, he was the son of the late William Frank and Lois Edna (Flinner) Feits.

Bob worked as a sales representative for Rubber-Seal Medallion for over 30 years, where many of his customers became lifelong friends. He also worked in maintenance at Allegheny Technologies Inc for over 30 years and could fix just about anything. Bob was a member of the Craft Committee at Beaver County Career & Technology Center as well as a member at the Pine Run Sportsman’s Club and the Zelienople Sportsman’s Club.

Bob shared a love for the outdoors and was an avid hunter. Bob went on many hunting trips to Manitoba, Canada where his proudest trophy was a bull moose. Bob also loved to fish, he enjoyed trout fishing at the Zelienople Sportsman’s Club with his children, and ocean fishing at the beach where he and his family went on a chartered fishing trip every year.

Bob was the best husband, father, and friend that you could ever ask for. He was a hard worker, had a great sense of humor, loyal to the end, and would do anything for his loved ones. He loved his family dearly and his selfless love will never be forgotten.

Robert is survived by his best friend and beloved wife of 34 years, Kip (Portman) Feits; his two children, Matthew (Sydney) Feits and Marydeth Feits, which were the best part of his life; a brother, William F. (Cindy) Feits; as well as several nieces and nephews, special ones including Rachel (Jason) Prince, Jacob Feits, Eli (Allison) Feits, and Rachael (Darren) Short.
