Celebrating the Life of Salongo Nkubuge David (1958–2025)

Miles Funeral Services, on behalf of the family of the late Salongo Nkubuge David, with heartfelt sorrow, announces his passing on 28th July 2025, at the age of 67.

Born on 27th July 1958, Salongo David Nkubuge lived a remarkable life marked by commitment, humility, and unwavering integrity. A seasoned Mechanical Engineer, he dedicated 36 years of his life to public service at the Uganda Cooperative Transport Union (UCTU), where he left an indelible legacy of professionalism and mentorship.

Salongo David was a proud husband to six wives and a loving father to seventeen children, a family man whose dedication extended beyond his household to everyone who crossed his path. He was a man of quiet strength and steadfast faith, whose presence brought calm, wisdom, and resolve in all situations.

🕯️ Funeral Program

The funeral service was filled with warmth, scripture, and hymns that celebrated a life well lived. The verses that guided the service — notably 2 Timothy 4:7-8 “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith…” — perfectly captured the spirit of Salongo David’s life.

🕊️ A Life Remembered

In his quiet way, Salongo David taught all of us how to live faithfully and serve with grace. His memory will forever be etched in our hearts, not just as a father, husband, friend, and professional, but as a man who truly “kept the faith.”

“The bird that was trapped has flown, the sky that was grey is blue.”
— A poem from his memorial service

🙏 Appreciation

The family of Salongo Nkubuge David extends their deepest gratitude to all who stood with them during this difficult time — for your prayers, presence, love, and support.

May his soul rest in eternal peace.
