"He has been a kind person who supported widows, paid school fees for quite a number of orphans. He was also good preacher who instilled Christian values helpful to family members," said Dr. Kigabo's wife, Nyantore Diane.
His elder brother, Pastor Irakiza Rweribamba Isaac revealed that late Dr. Kigabo was not only a pivotal family member but also a devoted Christian who served God until his last breath.
"Kigabo was a kind person supporting orphans, widows among other vulnerable people. As relatives, he has left the legacy of good deeds that we shall take on," he said.
Pastor Sebugorore Henry, an evangelist at ADEPR Nyarugenge Parish said that Dr' Kigabo was a devoted Christian and member of executive committee who fulfilled his duties diligently.
"Despite his duties in the Government, he was a good Christian who continued to serve God through evangelization which he started at school. He had courage to love and serve God," he noted.
The Governor of the National Bank of Rwanda (BNR), John Rwangombwa revealed that they were saddened to lose a hard working person with international competencies.
"Kigabo was a pivotal person in the management of BNR who strived to take the bank to greater heights. He had international competencies, has contributed a lot to the progress of BNR and helped us in recruitment of qualified staff. We are proud for his achievements. It is difficult to carry on activities without him but it is the nature of the world. May His Soul Rest In Peace,"
