Eleven days after their sudden and tragic deaths, a funeral was held for Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau on Monday where they were remembered as loving fathers and husbands who always put family first while sharing an incredibly close bond as brothers.
“The fact that you are both together now in heaven gives me a little bit of comfort,” Meredith Gaudreau, John’s widow and the mother of their children, said while speaking to mourners at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in Media, Pa. “I know John would not be able to live a day without Matty.”
Meredith spoke of the joy and pride Johnny had in being a father to Noa and John, and also told the mourners that she is currently pregnant with their third child.
John, 31, was an NHL hockey star and Matthew, 29, also played hockey professionally. John, better known in the sports world as “Johnny Hockey,” and Matthew died in New Jersey on Aug. 29 after they were struck by an SUV while riding their bicycles. Police have said investigators suspect the driver of the vehicle was impaired. The crash took place the night before John and Matthew were to be groomsmen at their sister Katie’s wedding.
