We at Capitol Drugs/PowerZone are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our beloved friend and colleague, Russell Ybarra. Russell was not only a constant source of joy and humor in our lives, but also a steadfast pillar of the West Hollywood community for many years.
His unwavering commitment and dedication to ensuring that every patient received the medications and care they needed continued up until his final days. Russell was a familiar face at West Hollywood Chamber events, and he served with distinction as an officer on the HIV Commission, always advocating so the organization could best serve the needs of our community.
Russell also played a central role in making sure that the Capitol Drugs Health Fair was a success, always engaging the community and encouraging everyone to come out and support the cause.
Every event he joined was brighter and more successful thanks to his infectious spirit. We will miss his humor, his kindness, his friendship, and so much more—beyond words.
Rest in peace, dear friend. We love you.
With heartfelt gratitude, love and remembrance,
From Raja and Capitol Drugs
