David Fickett of Vancouver, Washington, passed away at the age of 60.  He was born to William A. Fickett and Glory H.

He was friends with the famous psychic, Ross Peterson, and wrote his biography.  David also was a certified graphoanalysist, a member of the Oregon Society of Dowsers, a graduate of the Silva Mind Control and active in the Seth Society.  He also was a Toastmaster and a Mazama and led many hikes in the local area for the Mazamas and climbed several mountains in the Pacific Northwest.  He was a volunteer for Bloodworks Northwest for many years. He is survived by his brother, Bill, and nephews Alex, Gus and Max, all of Vancouver and his loving sister-in-law, Hortencia.  He was a very friendly, kind and generous individual and lived a remarkable life.  He touched all who knew him.
