Robert Ristig Maher, 72, of Tecumseh, Oklahoma, passed away on July 30, 2025 following a valiant battle with an illness.  He was born on February 4, 1953 in Arlington, Virginia, the son of Daniel McKay and Marie Elizabeth (Ristig) Maher.

Robert was predeceased by his father and mother. He is survived by his wife and the love of his life, Yong Suk Maher, and their children, Stony and Sheena Wilson, Timothy and Lori Wilson and Buddy Wilson; his siblings, Daniel and Pamela Maher, Mark Maher, Douglas and Karen Maher, James and Katherine Maher and Martha and Steve Anderson, and his step-siblings, Carl and Ruth McCrady, John and Lee McCrady and Tom McCrady; and many beloved nieces and nephews.

Robert Spent most of his early years growing up in Falls Church, Virginia, with his final years in high school being spent in Tacoma, Washington.  He graduated from Mt. Tahoma High School in Tacoma in 1972, following which he served in the U.S. Army where he was stationed in Germany for roughly three years.  Following his discharge from the Army, Robert ultimately headed to Oklahoma which became and remained home for the rest of his life.

Robert met Yong in the early 1990’s, they married and acquired property and on their own built the home they have occupied since then.  With his strong passion for and expertise in the areas of music, studio recording and other analog sound systems, and the like, Robert built a very successful business, Ma-her’SoundTel/Signalboosting.com, which provided complex telephony capability for his many satisfied clients.

Robert was a man of faith that he shared with Yong, and that supported them throughout their life together.  They never wavered from that faith in his final years.

Rest in peace, Robert.
