Anthony (Tony) Novak "Dirty" Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Feb. 19, 2025.
FLINT - NOVAK, Conrad Anthony (Tony) "Dirty" was called home to the Lord on February 16, 2025, after a 12 month battle with Lymphoma.

Born on December 18, 1960, to Gerald C. Novak and Nada A. (Glazar) Novak, Tony dedicated his life to craftsmanship and service. A licensed carpenter and building inspector by trade, Tony had a remarkable ability to create and restore with his hands.

After high-school, Tony served in The United States Army demonstrating his commitment to duty and discipline. Beyond his career, Tony found joy in traveling the country, riding his motorcycles, and showcasing his classic truck at local car shows.

Tony was known for his generosity and willingness to help others especially those less fortunate. His kindness extended beyond words; he was always ready to lend a hand where it was needed the most.

Tony leaves behind a wife Tish, 3 children Jeffrey (Christina), Robert (Natalie), Jessica, 4 grandchildren, 1 great grandson, 2 sisters Kim Brown, Michelle (Michael) Novak-Walker, 1 neice, 1 nephew, and special loves Brittany and girls.

Tony is preceeded in death by his grandparents, mother, father, and nephew.

Tony took with him a piece of so many hearts. He will never be forgotten.

A Celebration of Life for Tony will be held in the Springtime.

Ride pain-free now, Dirty!!!
