Following the smelter he was employed at the Red Barn Restaurant. He soon found a love of cooking and became the head cook. Closer to the end of his life he worked at Wal-Mart.

As well as his children, Erica Ybarra Acedo husband Rudy Acedo, Vincent "Vinnie" Ybarra wife Celina Ybarra, Joey Ybarra, Christopher Ybarra, Brandon Ybarra, and Jeremy Ybarra.

Tweety is survived by six grandchildren; as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Tweety is also survived by his sister in-laws Lea Cervi, Renee Puzzi, Lonnie Quick wife Debbie Quick.

Tweety is preceded in death by his parents; Albert and Amelia Ybarra, mother in-law Grace Rawlins, daughter Elizabeth "Lisa" Ybarra, brother in-law Richard Puzzi Sr.

Tweety will be sorely missed by all who had the good fortune to know him. He loved watching every Nascar race, spending time with his grandchildren, gardening, and working with carpentry.
