Matthew Gaudreau was about to become a dad when he and his brother Johnny Gaudreau were fatally struck by a car in New Jersey.
The 29-year-old’s wife Madeline Gaudreau is currently pregnant with the couple’s first baby, who will be named Tripp, according to a GoFundMe page set up by family Aug. 30.
“We are heartbroken to share the devastating news that the Gaudreau family has experienced a tragic and unfathomable loss,” fundraiser’s description read. “On August 29, 2024, a car accident took the lives of Matthew and his brother John.”
In a photo from a recent bachelorette party for sister-in-law Katie Gaudreau, Madeline appeared to cradle her baby bump as she posed with other guests.
Matthew and Johnny, 31, were riding on bikes on a rural road at around 8 p.m. when they were hit from the back by a Jeep Grand Cherokee attempting to pass to another vehicle, Sgt. Jeffrey Lebron of the New Jersey State Police told E! News in a statement.
