PICKETT, Micajah Erskine, III   - Born in Indianola, Mississippi, January 9, 1944 to Mary Francis (nee Wood) and Micajah Jr. Brother to Patricia (Spedler) and Annie.

Micajah moved to Burlington, Ontario in 1961 where he met Carole Gardiner at Nelson High School.

They were married in 1968 after graduating from Western University. Micajah continued his education, going on to earn an CA, MBA, CFA. In 1972, at the age of 28, he began teaching at Ryerson (Polytechnic) University, during that time he and Carole welcomed their two children, Shelby and Courtney.

After 22 years at Ryerson, Micajah left in 1994 to become a Vice President at the Canadian Securities Institute. His passion for fly-fishing and love of the outdoors, music, pottery, photography and books led him to British Columbia and, eventually, to his roots in the South, his great-grandmother's hometown of Aberdeen, Mississippi. He passed away peacefully while listening to music in rural Ontario on December 23, 2017.

He is survived by his two children and grandchildren Mika, Maple and Charles Sitchon.

A service will not be held. Memorial contributions can be sent to his grandchildren's school in Westport, Ontario to help teach future generations of his love of music. Arrangements with Blair & Son Funeral Directors, Perth.

Donations may be sent Rideau Vista Public School, Music Program, 9921 County Rd., Westport, Ontario.
