Death of Matthew and brother Johnny Gaudreau causes shockwave, family responds with public statement.
The death of two young men has taken everyone by shock, and most importantly the Gaudreau family, who was celebrating the marriage with a wedding just 24hrs after the fatal incident occurred.
Sister of Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau, Katie Gaudreau, and fiancè Devin Joyce have canceled their wedding on Friday, which was going to be held at St. Mary's Parish in Gloucester City, New Jersey, following the tragedy of losing her brothers.
Both Matthew and Johnny were marked as ring carriers for her special day.
Jim Gaudreau has now issued a statement to the public on the families behalf:
«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 most of all, two amazing human beings.
We want everyone to know that we receive your messages of love and support and appreciate your thoughts and prayers. We ask for your continued respect and privacy during this very difficult time of grieving. From all our families and from the bottom of our hearts (the Gaudreau, Morris, Korbitz, Venello and Joyce families).»
- Jim Gaudreau
We send our deepest sympathies from everybody affected by this tragic turn of events.
