Born Samuel Balagadde Ssekadde in January 1944, the late was at Namirembe, the seat of the Diocese he served as Bishop for over 15 years between 1994 and 2009.
Mourners described him as the man who upheld established doctrines and practices within the Church, prioritising core beliefs and resisting the waves of modernisation, but focusing on the core teachings and traditions of the Anglican church in the country.
For many people, death is certain, but its coming is unknown. But Ugandan Anglican cleric Samuel Balagadde may have well known his time on earth was ending.
At a burial in Kazo district, western Uganda, his last public function, the former Bishop of Namirembe Diocese in Kampala, advised mourners to stay in Christ because no one knows when their time will come.
