Omaha Steaks has announced that its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Bruce Simon, died suddenly early Wednesday morning of natural causes, at age 63.

This is the largest product donation in the history of the company.

Omaha Steaks announced a charitable donation of over 1,000 pounds of ground beef and over 1,500 packages of Omaha Steaks Beef Jerky to help provide meals.

Omaha Steaks’ fully cooked options are designed to give flawless taste, texture, and unparalleled convenience when you don't have the time (or patience) to prepare a meal from scratch.

Simon was Chairman of the Board for the company which was founded by his great-grandfather and grandfather in 1917.

Omaha Steaks exceeded their Feeding America fundraising campaign goal, raising over $161,000 on a goal of $150,000.

Todd Simon, senior vice president of Omaha Steaks, took the time to discuss the processor's efforts to take care of its employees and maintain their expertise in order to uphold the quality of their legendary product lines.

When one asks Bruce Simon and Todd Simon, fifth-generation owner/operators of Omaha Steaks, how growth has come for the 102-year-old, Omaha, Neb.-based, direct-to-consumer marketer of steaks and gourmet foods, the answer appears contradictory at first.
