Justin Edward Novak - 31   Rose Mari Novak - 33

Justin was born July 31, 1986, in Santa Clarita, California, and Rose was born Oct. 18, 1984, in Ventura, California. Justin and Rose were married in Cambria, California on Jan. 21, 2006, and died together in a tragic car accident on Nov. 21, 2017.

Together they enjoyed many adventures, due to their missionary spirit, preaching as Jehovah’s Witnesses in American Samoa, Morelia, Mexico and Guyana, South America. They were saving up for and excitedly planning for their next trip to Botswana.

They have touched so many hearts with their love and zeal for Jehovah. We will miss them terribly and look forward to the time promised at John 5:28 when “those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out”. Then we will be able to welcome them into the paradise that they so strongly believed in and so zealously taught others about. It is then that as 1 Corinthians 15:26 says “...the last enemy death is to be brought to nothing”.

They are survived by Rose’s parents Neal and Sarah Bahrman of Bakersfield, California, and her sister Alyssa and Aaron Brown of Rohnernt Park, California. Justin is survived by his parents Dale and Angela Novak of Kalispell and his sisters Sasha and Jim Hass of Columbia Falls, Christina and Eduardo Batz of Totonicapan, Guatamala, Hannah and Anelisa of Kalispell. They also have some surviving grandparents and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins.

All are invited to a memorial service at at 1 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 2 at the Fairbridge Inn and Suites (Outlaw Inn).
