Austin James Novak, age 22, of Uniontown, PA passed away unexpectedly at home on July 25th, 2021. He was born in Uniontown, PA on May 21st, 1999 son of Robert G. Novak Jr. and Shelli Ann Huey Novak. He was preceded in death by his maternal grandfather James. H. Huey and Great Grandparents Margaret and George Novak.
Austin was a 2017 Graduate of Uniontown Area High school. When he was younger he wrestled and played football. His real love was for the woods and hunting, especially turkeys. You could find him outside, in the woods putting out trail cams, hanging his and everyone else’s tree stands, setting trap lines, or riding the quad. If you asked anyone, Austin was the life of the party; always the jokester, and the one making everyone else feel good. He would never turn down a goodtime, with a Busch in his hand. He loved music, would sing it at the top of his lungs, and never admit he sounded terrible. Austin would do anything for anyone even if it meant taking the shirt off his back.
Left to keep Austin’s memory alive are his Mom and Dad, Robert G. Novak, Jr. and Shelli Ann Huey Novak, sister and brother in law Ashley and Justin Kaminsky of Monroeville, brother Cody Novak and girlfriend Cortney Wallace of Lemont Furnace, and his nephew Colton Novak who was his pride and joy, grandmother Leona B. Huey of Waltersburg, grandfather Robert G. Novak Sr. of Uniontown, grandmother Shirley Jarzynka and husband Ed Jarzynka of Uniontown. great-grandmother Anne Marie Wilhelm of West Leisenring and many aunts, uncles, cousins and buddies especially Jason Wiltrout, Randy Sova, Corey Murray and Tanner Derosa.
