Timothy Francis Novak

Tim was born in Chicago on August 24, 1962. In his short 61 years, he lived an exciting life, meeting new people and living every day to the fullest.

Tim placed the utmost importance on his relationships with family and friends. Life stops in Denver, San Francisco, Tennessee, and Puerto Morelos, Mexico all provided opportunities for new explorations and to make new friends that he loved like family. In addition, Tim had many cousins and family members that he always made time for. In short, Tim was a loving and giving person that you could always count on for help and support.

Tim loved to travel and experience different cultures. Whether hiking, scuba diving, fishing, skiing, snowmobiling, he was always looking for the next thrilling adventure. A lifelong Cubs fan, he always made sure to catch a game when he came home to Chicago. He would always tell everyone he came across to live each day to the fullest, a motto he certainly lived by himself.

Tim is survived by his father Jim (Patricia), brothers Mike (Mariana) and John (Cheryl), nephews Andrew and Brian Novak, and many other family members. He was proceeded in death by his mother Sharon Solberg (Glenn), his sister Wendy, and his grandparents Stanley and Pauline Novak and George and Mina Wood.

He leaves us with his own words, “Peace.”
