Denis F. Maher, 69, formerly of Point. Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, died peacefully at his home in Melbourne, Florida on June 23, 2023.

He graduated from St. Rose High School in Belmar, New Jersey, and attended Mount Saint Mary’s College in Emmitsburg, Maryland.

He was self employed as a mason contractor known for his custom brick and tile work, as well as a jack of all trades who was willing to lend a hand to anyone in need.

Denis had a great love of music and enjoyed playing his guitar, frequently hosting jam sessions with friends. He also had an undeniable sense of humor and never failed to make us laugh!

He was predeceased by his parents, Francis P. Maher and Eileen Maher Garvey; his eldest sister Kathleen M. Maher and his brother-in-law Anthony G. Riccio. He is survived by his daughter Erin Scabuzzo (Sergio) of Port Townsend, Washington; sister Patricia Brewer (Joseph) of Dalton, Massachusetts; sister Peggy Riccio of Toms River, New Jersey and sister Sheila Rogers (Michael) of Melbourne, Florida. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews and cousins, as well as numerous friends.

A Celebration of Life for local family and close friends is planned. Contact his family for information.

Another Celebration of Life and burial will be planned in New Jersey at a later date.

Denis and I were 12 years old when we started paling around. This became a friendship that lasted a lifetime. He was the most genuine person that I have ever known. He was kind, generous, and remarkably accepting of all kinds. And I have a treasure of memories that will make me smile and laugh forever. I am truly indebted to him for his contributions to the simple wonderful things that mean so much to me in this life. He was special and he was loved.
