Music was his passion and at an early age took up playing the drums spending great times jamming with his friends Curt Small, Jerry Fortier, Jim Hjelt, Laurel Wright and others. One of his favorite songs was "I fought the law and the law won".
An avid skier and snowboarder he could often be found on Mt. Baker. Scott was an excellent cook, working in several restaurants before starting a 28 year career with UPS, retiring this past July. He was so looking forward to a stress free life of leisure, taking mom out to lunch, tending to his beautiful gardens and "Blaze" the cat. Scott was a good son and brother, a gentle soul and a loyal friend.
Preceded in death by his father Jack Fickel and is survived by his mother Rhoda Fickel, sister Molly Fickel (Tim) McCalib and many extended family.
