Paul Novicki, 51, an EMT from Huron Township, Michigan, died from Covid-19 on April 9. Novicki, who had contracted the disease along with his partner, died after a long fight with the virus.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHe saved people\u2019s lives and he made other lives better just by being there,\u201d said his son, Zack Novicki.\n<\/p>\n

Zack remembers his father being on the front lines saving lives for more than three decades.\n<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was a first responder. He lived his whole life saving people, his work was absolutely his passion,\u201d Zack said. \u201cI mean there\u2019s some weeks where he would work 100-plus hours a week because it\u2019s absolutely what he loved to do, help people. That\u2019s what he was all about and he\u2019s a hero to a lot of people.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

A hero who had spent the last two weeks hospitalized fighting for his own life after he and his partner at Rapid Response EMS, Rob Nemeth, contracted Covid-19. Nemeth finally recovered but Paul didn\u2019t.\n<\/p>\n
