In Memory of Stephen Kaduuli

PLease accept my deepest sympathy for Stephen's family and all who mourn him at CPJ. I have heard Stephen speak and read his articles and found him a passionate and articulate advocate for refugees.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Stephen. I worked closely with him in advocating refugee rights. He was gentle and wise. May God provide comfort to his family at this difficult time.
RIP Stephen

I am so very sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. The CPJ family is a loving and dedicated one and Stephen’s loss will be immense. Sending love and prayers to all of you.

A wonderful and intelligent gentleman. The world is certainly less brighter today after learning of this news. My heart is completely broken. May Sandra and the kids receive my sincere condolences. This is beyond tough.

I was so very sorry to hear this news. Stephen was a good friend of CRS and a personal friend too. Incredibly sad. My heart goes out to his family - I hope they are doing well.

My heartfelt sympathy to Stephen's family and his extended family at CPJ.

I remember Stephen as a great refugee advocate. We first met at the York University Forced Migration Summer Course almost 10 years ago and we connected sporadically since then. My deepest condolences to Stephen and his family!

Sending my deepest condolences to your family as you work through this profound loss.

I will remember Stephen for his passionate advocacy and that million dollar smile.

While I didn't know Stephen personally, he was a strong and articulate voice for refugee rights. His articles and presentations were insightful and well-researched. It was especially helpful to hear the perspective of someone who has lived the newcomer experience, and was willing to share those experiences for the benefit of all. My prayers are with his family and the staff at CPJ. He will be missed.

Sending sincere condolences to Stephen’s family and to his colleagues. May each of you be held in the hearts and prayers of others. May Stephen rest in peace and rise in glory.

I didn't know Stephen but admire the work CPJ has done on refugee issues, for which Stephen must have been largely responsible.

Stephen, I was just thinking about you today and the project we were working on together to promote opening travel for refugees. I am sad to hear I cannot talk to you anymore. You were so wise on this matter and affirming of others in our meetings. I pray for comfort for your family as they mourn this loss.

My heart is broken at the news of Stephen's untimely passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to his wife and four children. And I embrace the suffering of my former staff and Board colleagues at CPJ who must be in mourning over his loss.

It was evident that Stephen played a notable role as the first full-time staffer in refugee rights policy ministry. Only a month ago he spoke brilliantly at a webinar I helped organize.

I hope that CPJ can memorialize Stephen's contributions and build on this work in his honour.

My deepest sympathy to the family of Stephen Kaduuli, his friends and the staff of CPJ. May his spirit live on.
