Raleigh

Dr. Rajendra L. Nigalye, 61, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Friday, July 3, 2020. Dr. Nigalye owned his own internal medicine practice in Knightdale for 28 years. He served the Knightdale community and his patients with great compassion, care and selflessness until the very end. He will be sorely missed.

He is survived by his wife of 37 years, Rekha Nigalye; son, Arjun Nigalye; parents: Laxmikant and Sarojini Nigalye; brother, Dr. Narendra Nigalye and his wife Ranjana; nieces: Maitreyee Berends and her husband Joel, Aishwarya Nigalye; his pets: Charlie, Barkley, and Penny; as well as his extended family, friends and his patients whom he thought of as family.

He was preceded in death by his maternal and paternal grandparents, his father-in-law, and his beloved pet, Molly.

A memorial service will be held at a more suitable time in the future.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to your local animal shelter.

Condolences to the family may be sent to poolefuneral.com under Tributes.

Dr nigalye was the best doctor on the face of this Earth. He was kind caring and had true love for his patience. He truly cared about people. That is a tough quality to find in doctor's nowadays. I was there 28 years ago when he became the doctor at that office. He was always so good to me and always had time to talk when I would come in. I will miss him so much and I loved him just like he was family. All I know is it heaven got another angel on July 3rd 2020. At least I know he's up there watching over all of us. I give my condolences to his entire family my heart goes out to you all. I will keep you all in my prayers and may God bless you.
