Marine industry veteran, Maxey Kenneth “Ken” Lovell, passed away July 6, 2021.

“Ken Lovell has been one of the most significant contributors to the success of the MRAA since its inception nearly 50 years ago,” said Matt Gruhn, MRAA President. “Ken not only helped get MRAA on its feet in the early days, but he also played an important leadership role in the Texas boating community, on MRAA’s Advisory Council of Marine Associations, and the National Marine Trades Council, and his positive influence on our industry will resonate for years to come.”

Lovell opened Lovell Marine Sales with his father in 1976 and since then has become a driving force in marine retailing. His impact on the marine industry stretches far outside of Houston and far outside of Texas, and we all are indebted to his great service to our industry.
