Johnny Gaudreau's wife Meredith released another heartbreaking message on Wednesday

We continue to mourn the tragic and untimely deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and his younger brother Matthew, who were killed in a horrific accident last week. The accident occurred Thursday evening when Sean Higgins, 43, of Woodstown, New Jersey, was driving a Jeep Grand Cherokee north on County Route 551 and attempted to pass another vehicle. He struck the Gaudreau brothers, who were both riding bicycles side by side on the shoulder of the road. Johnny and Matthew were pronounced dead at the scene. Police reports say Higgins was intoxicated and he is charged with two counts of vehicular manslaughter.

On Wednesday, Johnny's wife Meredith released a new statement with pictures to mark the couple's third wedding anniversary today.

Both Matthew's and Johnny's wives have spoken out loudly in tribute to the men who were their husbands, and this new message is heartwarming.

“I never post this much, but John deserves it. Three years ago today I became yours forever. One of the best days of my life, including the night we got engaged and the days we had our babies. The day I met you I said to myself, oh my god, I'm going to marry him. And every day after that just got better and better. I love you forever John and I'm so proud to be your wife.”

Meredith Gaudreau has persevered and handled the heartbreaking tragedy with great grace. My condolences go out to her and to Matthew's wife Madeline, whom he married in July 2021. Madeline is expecting the couple's first baby in December.

Johnny leaves behind not only Meredith, but also her two children Noa and little Johnny.

Think of them all and pray for them.
