Johnny Gaudreau's wife Meredith posts heartbreaking messages about the late Blue Jackets star

The mourning over the death of Columbus Blue Jackets forward Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, continues after the tragic accident that killed them on Thursday night, an incident that never should have happened.

The Gaudreau family shared a statement on Friday about the brothers, but it was Johnny’s wife Meredith who posted a pair of Instagram messages to her late husband, one about the star forward as a husband and the other about what he was like as a father.

We’re sending our deepest condolences out to the whole Gaudreau family after this tragedy.

Here are the Instagram posts:
