Johnny Gaudreau is being mourned by loved ones and fans after he and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, tragically passed away in August 2024. In a statement released by their uncle, Jim Gaudreau, he shared, “Last night we lost two husbands, two fathers, two sons, two brothers, two sons and brothers in law, two nephews, two cousins, two family members two teammates, two friends but truly two amazing humans.”
He continued, “We want to let everyone know we are receiving your messages of love and support and we appreciate your continued thoughts and prayers. We ask for your continued respect and privacy during this very difficult period of grief.”
More than seven months after Johnny’s passing, his wife, Meredith Gaudreau, welcomed their third child. The newborn, named Carter Michael—sharing Johnny’s middle name—weighed the same and measured the same length as Johnny did at birth, as Meredith shared in a heartfelt Instagram post. “I love you so much my baby! We are going to have so much fun. I can’t wait to give you the best life, my special boy forever. John, thank you for giving me our beautiful family. We love u, Daddy and miss you so much.”
