  1. > Johnny Gaudreau, 31, who played for the Columbus Blue Jackets, and his brother, Matthew Gaudreau, 29, were biking Thursday night in Oldmans Township when they were struck by a vehicle. The crash happened one day before they were supposed to be groomsmen in their sister Katie’s wedding.

    This is so heartbreaking. This poor family. He has two young children as well.

  2. this is an awful, awful tragedy all around. and while the driver was drunk, the fact that he made an aggressive, illegal move in an attempt to save a few seconds by passing in the outside the lane. drunk driving is dangerous, but so is distracted driving and aggressive driving. these families will forever have to deal with the ramifications of one man’s selfishness and impatience.

    both johnny and his brother passed, and his brother matthew left behind a pregnant wife. a [gofundme](https://t.co/JUlWSbkXPk) has been set up to help her and their family. they were in town to this week for their sisters’ wedding.

    This is so awful. Two brothers killed by a drunk driver, both planning to be part of their sister’s wedding in mere hours. One wife was pregnant, and both brothers had children. The sister understandably cancelled her wedding. It’s hard to comprehend how they can all move on from this.

    It’s beyond maddening that a drunk driver caused all of this, and that there will be painful repercussions for generations.

  4. This story rocked Canada yesterday morning, particularly people from Calgary.  

    There was talk yesterday that the suspect was also a cop. Also, they had just finished the rehearsal dinner for their sisters wedding, which was supposed to be the next day. Johnny has two kids who are two young to remember him and his brothers wife is pregnant. 

    This drunk driver just shattered a family for the rest of their lives. Unfathomable
