Mark V. Novak
November 13, 1953 - August 26, 2020
Mark V. Novak, age 66, passed away at Froedtert South-Pleasant Prairie on Wednesday, August 26, 2020.
Mark was born in Kenosha, WI on November 13, 1953, he was the son of the late Chet and Grace (Bemowski) Novak. He was a graduate of Bradford High School in 1972.
On July 5, 1975, he was united in marriage to Jeanette Franti at Holy Nativity Church. At the time of his passing they were blessed with 45 years of marriage.
He was employed by American Motors/Chrysler until the plant closed. He then worked for S.C. Johnson & Co, until his retirement in 2013.
Mark could often be found in front of the TV watching the Brewers or Packers. He enjoyed a good trip to the casino. He liked to collect and search for old coins. In his younger years, he was quite the bowler! He especially enjoyed spoiling his granddaughters with treats whenever he came to visit.
Mark is survived by his wife, Jeanette; his daughter, Amy (Sheldon) Carlton; his two granddaughters, Laney and Lexi; his siblings, Cheryl Novak, Noreen (Kevin) Wilkensen, Scott (Lorrie) Novak, Jim (Trisha) Novak and Lee (Maria) Novak; his sister in-law and brothers in-law, Annette (Ron) Haapala and Gordie (Brenda) Franti; his pet dog, Harley and many loving nieces and nephews.
Mark was preceded in death by his parents.
Graveside services honoring Mark's life will be held privately at a later date.
A special thank you to the family for their support. In addition, the family would also like to thank the staff at Froedtert South-Pleasant Prairie and the doctors for the compassionate care they provided Mark.

I had the pleasure of growing up in the same neighborhood as Mark did. I did work at the "Wax" for a short time and would visit him in his department. A nicer guy you'd be hard pressed to find. He had his own sense of humor and wit, you never knew what he would say that made you laugh. Mark, you will be missed by everyone who knew you. Especially at Wisconsin Beer Gardens.
" Grant unto him eternal rest O'Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace Amen" Goodbye Mark.

I had the pleasure of growing up in the same neighborhood as Mark. I did work as a temp at the "Wax" and I would go over and talk to him. He had his own sense of humor and wit. In all the years I don't remember him really getting angry. He was just a good guy to hang around with and that he will be missed by everyone who knew him.
"Grant unto him eternal rest O'Lord and may perpetual light shine upon him, may he rest in peace" Goodbye Mark.

I was fortunate to work with Mark at SC Johnson from 2008-2013. He was one of my favorite coworkers. Mark was always willing to help and was very fun to talk to. It seems like yesterday Mark was searching around the workbench and I would ask, "Mark what are you looking for?" and he'd look at me, start laughing, and say "I don't know, I'm old!" God bless Mark.
