Hubert Lee Russell

  Hubert Lee Russell, passed away on January 21, 2026, in the early hours of his 81st birthday. He was born on January 21, 1945, in Richmond, California, to Harry and Melba Leona (Hearn) Russell. Hubert proudly served his country in the United States Army and was a dedicated member and supporter of the local Veterans of Foreign Wars (V.F.W.) for many years.

  In his early years, Hubert proudly served as a fireman in Plainview, Texas. Later in life he became the owner of Russell Landscape Company and Tree Farm, which he ran with great success for many years. His passions extended beyond work; he was an avid lover of vintage cars, enjoying the restoration process that brought these automobiles back to their former glory. 

  Above all, Hubert cherished the role of grandfather, finding joy in spending quality time with his grandchildren. In his last days, the thing that brought him the most joy was hearing stories and looking at pictures of his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
