Popovich, Spurs saddened by death of his aide's wife
By Jeff McDonald
Simone Newman, wife of Spurs assistant coach Don Newman, died Saturday due to complications from kidney failure, the team said Monday. She was 48.
“We are all heartbroken,” Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said in a statement. “Simone was a wonderful person. She was full of energy, love and passion. She always had a smile on her face and truly lived her life to the fullest.
“Don and Simone were a perfect match, the love they shared was special. Our thoughts and our prayers are with their family. All of us will miss her greatly.”
Newman, who joined the Spurs' coaching staff in 2004, was not on the bench for either of the team's first two preseason games. He will not travel with the Spurs this week on their two-game exhibition trip to face Detroit and Cleveland.
Simone Newman is survived by five daughters.
In lieu of flowers, the Newman family requests a donation to the Spurs Foundation in Simone Newman's name. For details, call (210) 444-5862 or e-mail Florelisa Gonzalez at [email protected]
