During the service, Mr Williams took to the lectern to deliver an emotional eulogy to his wife.

And as well as paying tribute to the mother-of-five and asking the congregation to keep her in their prayers, he also said he forgave the woman who caused the fatal crash.

Standing in front of a slideshow of family photos, he explained: 'I want to close with this, and I think it’s the most important thing we need to understand.

'Everyone is praying for me and my family, which is right, but let us not forget that there were two people in this situation. And that family needs prayer as well, and we have no ill will towards that family.

'In my house, we have a sign that says, "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." We cannot serve the Lord if we don’t have a heart of forgiveness.

'That family didn’t wake up wanting to hurt my wife. Life is hard. It is very hard, and that was tough, but we hold no ill will toward the Donaldson family.

'And we, as a group, brothers united in unity, should be praying for that family, because they grieve as well. So let’s not lose sight of what’s important.' 

Monty Williams is a retired NBA player who played for nine seasons, including for the New York Knicks, the San Antonio Spurs and the Philadelphia 76ers before knee problems forced him to retire in 2003.  

Williams joined Oklahoma City's staff this season after serving as head coach of the New Orleans Pelicans for five years. 

He and his wife married in 1995 and have five children together. 

In a statement, the Pelicans said: ‘The New York Pelicans are devastated to hear the news of Ingrid Williams’ passing.

Ingrid was beloved by the Pelicans organization and the New Orleans community and will forever be remembered as one of the most generous, kind and humble individuals we’ve ever known.

Williams has remained away from the Thunder since the crash and, it was announced recently, will not return to the OKC bench this season, according to newsok.com.
