Benjamin Laboy, 67, of South Whitehall Township, passed away on Thursday, September 25, 2025. Born on August 23, 1958, in New York City, he was the son of the late Enrique and Isabel (Cordero) Laboy.

Benjamin dedicated many years to his career as a machine operator in the confectionery industry, where he worked for Just Born. After retiring, he found joy in the simple pleasures of life-singing and playing his guitar. Known for his heart of gold, Benjamin was a wonderful human being who radiated warmth and kindness to everyone he encountered.

He will be dearly missed by his sisters, Naomi Hernandez and Elizabeth Lozada; brother, Samuel Hernandez and his wife, Maria; along with a host of nieces and nephews who adored him, especially his dear niece, Krystol. Benjamin's love and laughter will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

In addition to his parents, Benjamin is preceded in death by his brothers.

Services for Benjamin will be private.
