Prescott Resident Known as “Flat Earth Dave” Passes Away

Prescott’s quirky local figure, 71-year-old John Fibich — better known as “Flat Earth Dave” — passed away at his home late last month. The Prescott Police Department confirmed the news.


Fibich was a familiar sight cruising the streets in his truck, boldly painted with “NASA is a hoax” and his signature moniker “flat-earth-dave.com” — a rolling reminder of his passionate, if unconventional, views on the world.


He had a distinctive public presence: reclusive yet unforgettable, often seen walking slowly with a walker, his loyal dog by his side, waving to neighbors while sharing his strong opinions on what he saw as hidden truths.


Now, that devoted pup needs a new home at the Yavapai Humane Society. Described as friendly and ready for adoption — call 928-445-2666 or visit yavapaihumane.org to meet it.
