James Novack, age 81, of Dothan, Alabama, passed away Monday, November 9, 2026, at his home.
Born May 12, 1945, in New Jersey, James was the son of Helen Ace Novack and Eugene Novack Sr. He proudly served in the United States Navy and worked as a long-haul truck driver for 60 years.
James enjoyed gardening, mowing the grass, watching Fox News, and following politics. One of his greatest joys was cooking breakfast for his children and grandchildren. He loved his family deeply and went above and beyond to make sure they were cared for. He was also the devoted “snack dealer” to his beloved canine companions, Drago and Natasha.
Before his passing, James turned his life over to Christ, bringing comfort and peace to those who loved him.
He was preceded in death by his siblings, Gerald, Edward, Eugene, Frank, Johnny David, Lawrence, Patricia, Ellen, and Michael.
Left to cherish his memory are his children, William Novack (Tara), Jennifer Novack, and Melissa Novack; his grandchildren, Jade Lukitsch, Johnny Lukitsch, Makayla Novack, and Nova Johnson; his siblings, Bobby, Tom, Bill, Jerry, and Fred; and his best friends, Ron and David Delvecchio.
James will be lovingly remembered for his devotion to his family, the breakfasts they shared, and the care he showed those he loved.
