Airxcel’s former RV group president, Kevin Phillips, has passed away.
RVIA issued a statement regarding Phillips’ death, stating the association joins the RV industry in mourning the passing of a “dear friend and strong RVIA supporter.”
“Kevin was one of the most knowledgeable and experienced executives in the RV industry, and was an integral part of the fabric of the RVIA in so many ways,” RVIA President Craig Kirby said.
Kirby noted Phillips served on the RVIA Board of Directors from 2009 to 2018. He took on executive committee roles as both secretary and treasurer, Kirby said, where he maintained a reputation as one of the industry’s best and brightest.
