Steven Robert Weyher, 81, passed away Monday, June 2, 2025 in Lawton, Oklahoma.

A private family memorial service will be held at a later date.

Steven was born March 16, 1944 in Los Angeles, California to Robert Chamberlain and Eileen Elmira (Waltz) Weyher. Steven spent his early years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, before answering the call to serve his country. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and proudly served as a SP5 (T) meteorologist during the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1967. Following his honorable discharge, Steven began a lifelong career in the restaurant industry, starting as a busboy at Martin's Restaurant in Lawton, Oklahoma. It was there he met and married his first wife, beginning a journey marked by hard work, hospitality, and entrepreneurial spirit.

In 1968, Steven became the owner and operator of Martin's Restaurant, leading it with dedication until 1994.While in Lawton, he served his community as President of the Lawton Chamber of Commerce, President of AUSA, among several other unselfish attributes to the community. He later owned and managed the Golden Corral in Branson, Missouri, for many years before retiring around 2009. Never one to sit still, Steven went on to open two restaurants at a Branson golf club: Steve's Tree House and the Stonebridge Restaurant. While living in the Branson community, he co-founded the Branson Veterans Task Force and played a key role in establishing Branson as the "Veterans Capital of the U.S." Veterans Day and Flag Day held special significance for him, and he personally placed nearly 90% of the flags displayed during these commemorations. At one point, he also managed a Ramada Inn in Springfield, Illinois. Even in his later years, Steven continued to share his love of food and service through his own catering business.

Steven will be remembered for his entrepreneurial drive, warm personality, and the joy he found in serving others.
