Larry Elmer Laubach

Larry Elmer Laubach passed into the arms of his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on March 9, 2026. He was born on February 17, 1948, in San Antonio, Texas, to Elmer and Doris Laubach, the first of six children. A graduate of Edison High School and San Antonio College, Larry worked for several years in operations at the Health Science Center and then spent twenty years in IT at UTSA. A stroke in September 2010 led to his retirement.

On July 26, 1981, Larry was born again by the Spirit of God. He served faithfully for many years at Huisache Avenue Baptist Church, where he taught Sunday School, sang in the choir, played in the orchestra, participated in street ministry, and joined in church visitation. He had the joy of leading his brother Jerry to the Lord. Larry was deeply involved in the bus ministry, often stopping to buy donuts for the children he picked up for church. One memorable morning, a large dog jumped onto the bus and settled into the driver’s seat; Larry coaxed him off with a donut while the children laughed with delight.

With the Lord’s help, Larry compiled a hymnal for the church. His favorite hymn was “Haven of Rest,” and his life verse was Galatians 2:20–21.

He is survived by his wife of 55 years, Catherine Laubach; his sister Kathy Rothen and her husband Robert; his sister LuAnn Lockerbie and her husband Owen; his brother James Laubach and his wife Rene'e; his sisters-in-law Cecilia Lamza and her husband Clem, Joanne Schneider and her husband Harry, and Andrea Lacey; and many nephews, nieces, cousins, church family, and friends, including his nephew George Jaggy and his wife Jennifer, and their children Josiah, Joseph, and Justus.
