PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Nearly a week after his death, Johnny Gaudreau’s wife, Meredith, shared an emotional tribute to her late husband on Instagram on the third anniversary of their wedding.
“I never post this much but John deserves it,” Meredith Gaudreau wrote on Wednesday night. “3 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 brought our babies into the world. The day I met you I remember saying to myself, omg I’m going to marry him. And every day after that kept getting better and better. I love you forever John and I am so proud to be your wife.”
Johnny Gaudreau, an NHL player for the Columbus Blue Jackets, and his brother, Matthew, were killed in a crash last week in Salem County, New Jersey, after they were struck by an alleged drunk driver.
The Gaudreau brothers were riding bicycles on County Route 551 in Oldmans Township, Salem County, when they were struck by a man driving a Jeep.
