Schmid Family Statement
Statement from the Schmid Family on the Passing of Sigi Schmid
"On Tuesday, Dec. 25, Sigi Schmid passed away at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles due to a personal health matter. Our family is deeply saddened by his passing, and is taking this time to grieve the loss of a tremendous husband, father, leader, and mentor. We also recognize how much Sigi meant to so many people across the U.S. Soccer landscape and around the world at different levels of the game. That community meant a great deal to him as well, and for that reason, it was important to us that we share the news of his passing. While we mourn his loss, we appreciate his privacy during this challenging time, and will not be issuing further statements. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, the family asks to please consider a memorial gift to support the men's soccer program at UCLA, Sigi's alma mater. Donations in memory of Sigi may be directed to the attention of Emily Lerner of UCLA Athletics at 310-206-3302 or elerner@athletics.ucla.edu."
