Mighty Auto Parts announced that the company’s Director of Marketing Dave Raphael died suddenly Friday, Sept. 5, of cardiac arrest.
“Dave was a dedicated member of the Mighty team – thoroughly professional – a warm-hearted ambassador of good will,” said Ken Voelker, president and CEO of Mighty.
Raphael joined Mighty in 2007. Previously, he held positions with Ford Motor Co. and Auto Trader. At Mighty, he managed the national franchisor’s advertising program and took a leadership role in successfully developing the company’s new car dealership market program.
“Of all David’s life accomplishments, nothing seemed to give him more of a sense of fulfillment than his role as a husband and father,” said Voelker.
His wife, Lynne Raphael, and children, Sam and Michelle, survive Raphael.
