August 26, 1976 in Winnipeg. He took his schooling at Heritage, Bruce Junior High, Silver Heights, graduating from Sturgeon Creek Collegiate. During his early years he was involved with bowling, soccer and baseball. We remember many days when Preston and his friends were out in the backyard building bike ramps and musical instruments out of scraps of wood we had in the garage. He was always busy doing something. He enjoyed going to visit Grandpa and Grandma Olson on the farm in Saskatchewan where he and his brother could build forts, ride tractors and ski-do. As he got older he would help his Grandma Novak in the catering business. Preston attended church and Sunday School at Grant Memorial Church in Winnipeg. Each summer he attended Bird River Bible Camp where , at the age of nine, he accepted Jesus into his heart. Preston's first job was at McDonalds where he got a plaque for employee of the month. During the last couple of summers in high school, he went tree-planting in British Columbia. His love for the mountains and snowboarding brought him to live in Banff for a couple of years and then out to Kelowna for a couple of years. We moved to Brampton, ON in 1999 and the following year Preston came to live with us while he worked and saved money. In October of 2001 he wanted more adventure, so off he went, by himself, to Thailand and Nepal for four months. Upon returning to Brampton, he decided he had had enough of Brampton and moved to Calgary. He got a job with Lifestyle Holdings and travelled across Canada setting up Mark's Work Warehouse Stores. Last January he decided to take carpentry at S.A.I.T. he was at the top of his class. The day after he completed his exam, he was hired by Triple Crown Homes in Calgary as an apprentice carpenter, where he worked until his death. Preston was always ready and willing to help anyone. He had a very kind and generous heart. He accentuated the positives and minimized the negatives. His friends and family meant a lot to him. Whatever he did, he did it to the best of his ability. Memories of Preston will be cherished forever by his parents, George and Donna Novak; and brother Wade; his grandpa Harvey Olson of Wadena, SK; his grandma Anne Novak of Winnipeg; many aunts, uncles and cousins, and many, many, friends.
