Candido Laboy Ortiz

September 20, 1956 – May 27, 2026

With love and gratitude for a life that touched many through humility, kindness, and quiet strength, we announce the passing of Candido Laboy Ortiz, who entered eternal rest on May 27, 2026 in East Hartford, CT

Born on September 20, 1956, in Ponce, Puerto Rico, Candido was the beloved son of Arquad Laboy and Maria Ortiz. He later made his home in East Hartford, Connecticut.

Throughout his life, Candido faced challenges that many would find overwhelming. Disabled since birth and having surpassed many expectations placed before him, he became a testament to perseverance, resilience, and the power of a gentle spirit. Those who knew him remember a man who never allowed life's hardships to diminish his kindness or concern for others.

Candido was a humble and genuine person whose heart was always open to helping others whenever he could. His simple nature, sincerity, and willingness to lend a hand left a lasting impression on family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Candido's memory will forever be cherished by his loving family, including his cousin, Elsa Dominguez Laboy, and relatives and friends whose lives were enriched by his presence.
