Rev. Kaweesa had a major heart operation seven years back when blocked heart valves were replaced with artificial ones

Reverend Kezekiah Walusimbi Kaweesa, Vicar, Martyrs Church Katwe in Namirembe Diocese and the Namirembe Diocesan   Estates secretary, has died.

Rev. Kaweesa died Saturday morning at Mulago hospital where  he was rushed on last Monday with heart-related complications.
 
Samuel Balagadde Sekadde, the retired bishop of Namirembe, during a funeral service for the late on Sunday, described the late as a hardworking priest endowed with all best qualities a clergy must have.

He said said Rev. Kaweesa's call to  serve God started way back when he worked as  head of laity in Kungu parish off  Bombo Road  in Namirembe diocese.

Eria Paul Luzinda, the retired bishop of Mukono Diocese, said the late had been given the  gift  of mastering  Christian communities wherever he served.

"Some Christians in Katwe Martyrs Church where  the  late  served  close  to seven  years  are not easy to deal with  but he fully  managed  them . We are only  thankful that  he played his role," said Luzinda.  

Peter Ssegawa, head of laity, Katwe Martyrs Church, said Rev. Kaweesa had a major heart operation seven years back when blocked  heart valves were  replaced with artificial ones.

"Ever since he returned  from  India he  has been doing well.  We have been waiting for him to stabilize before taking him back for further   treatment on advise  of doctors," said Ssegawa.
 
Last Saturday, Rev.  Kaweesa celebrated  his silver Jubilee in marriage with his wife Deborah Kaweesa and held a  thanksgiving service for his children who successfully completed their studies.

He will be laid to rest at his ancestral grounds in Migadde near Bombo next to Migadde Church of Uganda in Kungu parish on Monday.
