Augustine Nshimye

It is with a heavy heart, yet filled with so much love and gratitude, that we announce the passing of Augustine Nshimye on April 3rd, 2026. Born on January 1st, 1947, Augustine lived a life of profound integrity and unwavering dedication, leaving an indelible mark on Uganda and on all of us who were fortunate enough to know him. He was a man of quiet strength, a sharp mind, and a warm smile that could light up a room. I’ll always remember his infectious laugh, especially when we were discussing a particularly tricky legal case – he had a way of explaining complex concepts with such clarity and humor that everyone understood. Augustine’s career as a Ugandan judge, culminating in his service on the Supreme Court of Uganda from 2015-2017, was a testament to his commitment to justice and fairness. He approached every case with a deep sense of responsibility and a genuine desire to help those who had been wronged. But beyond the courtroom, Augustine was a devoted family man. He cherished his family above all else, and his love for his wife, [Wife's Name - if known, otherwise omit], and his children was boundless.

Augustine’s impact extended far beyond the legal realm; he fostered a sense of community wherever he went, always willing to lend a helping hand or offer words of encouragement. Augustine’s passing leaves a void that will be deeply felt by all who knew him. He will be remembered not just as a respected judge, but as a loving husband, father, friend, and a truly remarkable human being.
