Miguel A. Laboy, 72, of Belton, passed away peacefully on April 22, 2026, leaving behind a legacy of service, love, and quiet strength.

Miguel was born on July 1, 1953, to Leocadio Laboy and Ana Luisa Ramos. He married the love of his life, Maria Laboy, on January 12, 1974, and together they built a life grounded in devotion and family. He was a high school graduate and went on to serve his country honorably for 29 years in the United States Army.

Miguel found joy in life’s simple pleasures—fishing, BBQing, collecting antique items, and studying history. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, whether fixing something as a skilled handyman, sharing knowledge, or teaching others. He also enjoyed riding his motorcycle and embracing the freedom of the open road. He proudly served his country for nearly three decades with unwavering honor, dignity, and pride. Known for his generous spirit, he was a true Samaritan who extended kindness to all he encountered. He deeply loved his family and friends and was, in every sense, a gentle and compassionate soul. Blessed by God, he touched countless lives and leaves behind a lasting legacy of love and goodness.

He was preceded in death by his parents, Leocadio Laboy and Ana Luisa Ramos; his brothers, Angel Laboy and Francisco Laboy; and his sisters, Gloria Laboy, Marta Laboy, Modesta Laboy, Silvia Laboy, and Carmen Del Valle.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Maria Laboy; his sisters, Julia Laboy Ramos, Estevina Laboy, and Valentina Laboy; his daughters, Heidy Laboy and Melisa Laboy; and his cherished grandchildren, Isabella Laboy and Clayton Laboy.

Miguel was not only a father, cousin, and grandfather to his own family, but to many others who looked to him for guidance, kindness, and unwavering support.
