Rowan Aaron Novak
Rowan was brought in to this world on 9 Nov 09 @ 12:05pm in Philadelphia, PA, after a very hard fought battle to give him a chance at a normal life , he passed away 14 hours later after many prenatal complications. In those few hours he was so brave and strong and managed to just barely open an eye to look at the people that belonged to the voices he had been hearing for the last few months. It brings us comfort to know that he knew only of the love of his parents Aaron and Erin Novak and family.
Rowan is survived by his parents Aaron and Erin (Mahoney) Novak of Billings, Michael Novak (Grandfather) of Billings ,Teresa Towry (Grandmother) of Iowa City, IA, Tom & Andrea (Novak) Mowat (aunt & uncle), and Doug and Emily (cousins) of Billings. Scott & Samantha (Berger) Holden (aunt &uncle) and Logan, Noah, Lance, & Ayden (cousins) of Iowa City, IA. Jeremiah & Jenna (Novak) Bentz (aunt & uncle) of Ft Meade, MD . Johnnie & Rebecca (Hays) Berger (aunt & uncle) and cousin Kevis of Spokane, W A. Brett Novak (uncle) of Billings, James Latulippe (uncle) of Billings, and Gayl Towry ( Great Grandfather) of Spokane, W A.
Rowan is the Novak's first child and is preceded in death by his Grandmother Debbie Novak, Great Grandmother Shirley Towry, and Great Grandfathers Bruno Novak & Merrick Benes.
