A funeral Mass will be held on Saturday in Reinbeck for an Iowa soldier who died last week in Afghanistan.
Fifty-three-year-old Command Sgt. Maj. John Laborde, of Reinbeck, was a U.S. Army Reserve soldier. He died April 22 of injuries suffered from what the military says was a noncombat related incident.
The funeral Mass will be at 10:30 a.m. at St. Gabriel Catholic Church in Reinbeck. Burial will be at Woodlawn Cemetery in Oelwein.
Laborde was assigned to the 649th Regional Support Group in Cedar Rapids.
