Johnny Gaudreau’s wife paid tribute to her late husband in a pair of social media posts on Saturday, speaking out for the first time since the former Flames forward’s death.
Meridith Gaudreau shared family photos of Gaudreau in two separate Instagram posts as she praised him for being the “best dad” to their daughter Noa, one year old, and son Johnny, six months old. In another, she thanked her late husband for the best years of her life, calling herself the luckiest girl in the world for the time they spent together.
“I love you so, so much. You were perfect. Some days it felt too good to be true. I love every single thing about you. You are my forever and I can’t wait to be with you again. I love you so much forever and ever,” she said in a post with numerous photos of the family.
“The absolute best dad in the world. So caring and loving. “The best partner to go through parenthood with. John never missed a single appointment. Was the best at putting the baby to sleep and the Apple of Noa’s eye. I love how much she looks like him. We are going to make you proud. We love you so so so much daddy.”
Gaudreau and his brother Matthew were both tragically killed by a suspected drunk driver just a day before the duo were to be groomsmen in their sister’s wedding.
The brothers were riding their bicycles Thursday night near their childhood home in New Jersey when they were struck from behind by the driver, who is now facing charges in their deaths.
Flames fans, many wearing Gaudreau jerseys, continued to pay their respects by placing jerseys and hats on the steps of the Scotiabank Saddledome. Others placed Skittles and purple Gatorade bottles, Gaudreau’s favourite snacks.
Kimberly Brass, an avid Flames fan who said she was hit hard by the news, was still visibly emotional on Saturday while paying her respects.
