In Memoriam

The BC community continues to mourn the devastating loss of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.

Boston College continues to mourn the tragic loss of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. The inseparable brothers, and
one-time BC hockey teammates, were struck by a car while
bicycling in August. Their deaths have led to an outpouring
of grief throughout the Boston College community. Jerry York, who coached the Gaudreaus at BC, said he was “devastated and heartbroken by the news…. They were not only great hockey players but two outstanding young men."

At their funeral, Johnny’s widow Meredith attested to the bond between the two brothers. “The fact that you’re now together in heaven gives me a little bit of comfort,” she said.
