Johnny Gaudreau’s wife, Meredith Gaudreau, recently expressed her love and grief following the tragic deaths of her husband and his younger brother, Matthew Gaudreau, who were fatally struck by a suspected drunk driver while biking in New Jersey. In emotional Instagram posts, she praised Johnny as the “absolute best dad” and the “best partner to go through parenthood with,” expressing her love and admiration for him. The couple was also supposed to be groomsmen in their sister Katie’s wedding the day after the accident.
The driver, 43-year-old Sean Higgins, was charged with two counts of death by auto after he struck the brothers while attempting to pass other vehicles. Authorities said Higgins had consumed alcohol before the accident, and he failed a sobriety test at the scene. During a court appearance, a judge ordered Higgins to remain in jail until his detention trial in September. He could face up to 10 years in prison for his actions.
The Gaudreau brothers, Johnny and Matthew, were pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Meredith’s heartbreaking posts on social media reflect her deep love for Johnny and the devastating impact of the loss on their family. The community has expressed their condolences and support for the Gaudreau family as they navigate this difficult time.
