Johnny Gaudreau’s sister has shared a heartbreaking tribute to her brothers after they were struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver a day before her wedding.

Katie Gaudreau shared the moving tribute on Monday morning, describing Johnny and Matt as ‘the absolute best big brothers a little girl could have asked for.’

The duo were struck while cycling in Oldmans Township, Salem County, just before 8:30pm on Thursday night.

They were both expected to stand beside their sister on Friday afternoon as groomsmen in her wedding.

Johnny Gaudreau’s sister has broken her silence in a heartbreaking tribute to her brothers after they were struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver a day before her wedding 

Instead of celebrating the happiest moment of her life alongside her brothers at 1.45pm today as scheduled, she and her family are now grieving the double-tragedy

She said: ‘To know these two was to love these two. There are absolutely no words I have to express the bond my family shared. 

‘The entire world knows there would never have been a John without Matty or Matty without John. 

‘The absolute best big brothers a little girl could have asked for. 

‘This will never be a goodbye post because I will never stop saying your names and honoring you both. 

‘I’ll take the best care of mom, dad, Kristen, Mer, Madeline, and your babies.’
