Terry Dwayne McGhee, 71, of Latimer County, Oklahoma passed away at his home on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

A family directed memorial service will be held at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 13, 2026 at the Compassion Church, Sulphur, Oklahoma with Rev. Kyle Horton officiating.

Terry was born on April 21, 1955, in Sentinel, Oklahoma, to Alton Wayne McGhee and Mary Leota (Johnson) McGhee. During his childhood, his family lived in several Oklahoma communities, including Hominy, Erick, and Thomas, where he ultimately graduated from high school.

A dedicated rancher from an early age, Terry began managing his first ranch at just 21 years old. Throughout his career, he successfully managed ranches in Davis, Chickasha, Durant, and Idabel, earning the respect of those who knew him for his strong work ethic, and love of the land.

Following his retirement in 2002, Terry settled in the beautiful mountains of Latimer County, where he created a private oasis surrounded by nature. There, he enjoyed the peace and solitude he cherished, spending the final 24 years of his life in the place he proudly called home.

Terry is survived by his children: Jason Allen and wife Lori, Amber McGhee, Michael Weekly, Cody Myers and wife Tara, and Miranda Myers; grandchildren: Jason Allen and wife, Samantha, Searia Hawkins and husband Jon, Hunter Collins and wife Hannah, Alex Gordon, Zowie Gordon, Gage O’Dell, Axel Weekly, Cady Myers, Jayke Myers, Tate Myers, Colton Wooten, Bailey Miller, and Braylon; 8 great-great grandchildren; sister, Evelyn McGhee, brothers, Danny McGhee, and Butch Ward; along with numerous nieces, nephews and other family and friends.

Terry is preceded in death by his parents: Alton Wayne McGhee and Mary Leota (Johnson) McGhee; and brother, Jerry McGhee.

More than his accomplishments, Terry will be remembered for the love he shared with his family. To his grandson, he was nothing less than “Superman” — a larger-than-life hero whose strength, wisdom, and unwavering presence made him someone to admire and emulate. The bond they shared was one of Terry's greatest treasures and will remain a cherished memory for those who loved him.

Robert Alan Dost, affectionately known by many as the “Amazon Man,” 59, of Wilburton, Oklahoma, passed away on Wednesday, May 27, 2026, at his home.

Robert was born on June 8, 1966, in Mountain View, California, to Richard Dost and Penny (Salter) Dost. He married the love of his life, Lorrie Reed, in Lake Tahoe, Nevada, in 1991. Together, Robert and Lorrie made their home in Wilburton, where they built a life centered around family, hard work, and friendship.

Robert graduated from Bret Harte High School in Angels Camp, California, with the Class of 1984. During his younger years, he was active in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, baseball, football, and swim team activities, always enjoying teamwork and adventure.

After settling in Wilburton, Robert pursued training as an EMT and Paramedic through Kiamichi Technology Center in Talihina. He dedicated many years to Rowland’s Construction Company before becoming well known throughout the area as the local Amazon delivery driver — lovingly referred to by many as the “Amazon Man.” Robert genuinely enjoyed his work, taking pride in delivering packages with care, visiting with the people along his route, and especially getting to know their beloved pets.

A gifted artist, Robert had a quiet creative spirit. He enjoyed sketching and painting for family and friends, sharing his talent generously, though he never sought recognition for his work
Robert is survived by his loving wife, Lorrie (Reed) Dost; his parents, Richard and Penny Dost; sons, Josh Williams and wife Melissa, and Bobby Williams and wife Kati; grandchildren, Dylan Williams and Serenity Williams; sister, Darcie Dost and husband Jason; and their children, Hannah and Dawson.

Harold “Buzz” L. Weaver, 81, of Wilburton, Oklahoma passed away on Monday, May 25, 2026 at the McAlester Regional Health Center.

Visitation will be held from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Friday, May 29, 2026 at the Jones Harkins Funeral Home Chapel.

A graveside service will be held at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, May 30, 2026 at the Veterans Colony Cemetery, near Wilburton, Oklahoma. Military honors provided by the VFW Post 3649, Wilburton, Oklahoma.

Honorary pallbearers will be Russell Humburg, Hayden Turner, and Rachel Humburg.

Harold “Buzz” Weaver was born on March 20, 1945, in Long Beach, California. At an early age, his grandmother gave him the nickname “Buzz” because of the car noises he made while playing with his Matchbox cars — a name that stayed with him throughout his life.

Buzz married his “angel,” Tommie Faye (Bench) Humburg, on October 25, 2025, in Wilburton, Oklahoma. The last years of his life were filled with peace, love, and companionship as Tommie, first as a dear friend and later as his wife, along with her family, brought great happiness to his life.

Buzz grew up in Porterville, California, and attended California State University. In 1963, he proudly enlisted in the United States Navy. After completing boot camp, he was immediately deployed to Vietnam, where he faithfully served his country until receiving his honorable discharge in 1967.

Following his military service, Buzz worked as a chimney sweep and later owned and operated his own chimney sweeping business.
Buzz was proud to be both an American and a United States Navy veteran. He could best be described as “a hard nut to crack,” but those who truly knew him understood the kindness and loyalty he carried within. Once Buzz considered you a friend, he was a loyal and lifelong friend.

He enjoyed riding motorcycles, collecting cars, and generously giving to others, especially organizations dedicated to feeding children and the elderly.

Buzz will be lovingly remembered by his wife, Tommie Humburg Weaver, along with a host of other family members and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents, one brother, and one sister.
Buzz will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved him.
