Johnny Gaudreau

Thinking of your family this season and always. May you and Matty rest in eternal peace <3

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

My condolences to the Gaudreau Family and close friends, I can't imagine the grief your going through, he was stolen from us way to soon. He'll always be remembered for the loving person he was and family man, plus his adorable smile. I watched Johnny grow up and mature on the ice in Calgary, he had so much left to do. His legacy will live on in his children. He will never be forgotten.

RIP Johnny and Matty

Thank you for allowing the public to participate in the service. It was greatly appreciated.
God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Thinking of you,
love from Red Deer AB

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

You will always be a Flames and Calgarian forever. May you and your brother Matthew rest in peace. Bless your wife, your two kids, your sisters, your Mom and Dad and allother relatives. May they find peace. knowing you will be remembered

Condolences to the Gaudreau family and friends on the untimely and tragic deaths of Johnny and Matthew. And to the Flames and Jackets fans too.

Johnny is the epitome of what a role model should be and is - kind, generous and an absolute professional on the ice. I only got to see him play once before I moved back home to Ireland, but I have one Flames jersey and it's a signed Johnny Gaudreau jersey. I will cherish it all the more now.

Love from Ireland

lest we forget mr johnny hockey and mr matthew

The great thing about "the Hockey World" is that it is a very tight knit family. It does not matter who you cheer for, who you like or dislike, its about a community that sticks together through thick or thin. One that has taught many of us life skills and how to act and be part of a Team.
To the entire Gaudreau family we will continue to keep all of you in are arms, you will feel the love and support around you. None of us know what you are going through but I ensure you there are many of us who will be there with you to just listen and help you get through this period in all of your lives.

My husband and I are fans of Johnny Gaudreau and can't imagine the pain his loving family are feeling at this time and will for years to come. We will forever remember the feisty little player
Lighting up the Saddledome with his enthusiasm and joy as he lead the Flames in their games. Our prayers are with you in the loss of Johnny and Matthew.

I remember the first time he arrived at the Saddledome in Calgary .The first time I saw him play and thought "This young player is going to be a phenomenon ". How effortlessly he moved across the ice.He totally owned it!! My heart goes out to both families for having lost such fine young men.

Gaudreau Family....
Sorry for your loss. I have memories when the boys were growing up and playing hockey with my boys, Steven and Sean. God bless, I will keep your family in my prayers every day.

Calgary Flames game seven final overtime goal right on the corner bang into the goal

My deepest condolences to the entire Gaudreau family and friends. My favourite moment was during Game 7 against Dallas round 1 when Johnny scored the winning goal. The dome went off and everyone was cheering and celebrating. I remember when I witnessed that moment I cried so hard because it was the best moment ever! He will be my forever favourite hockey player!

My heartfelt and deepest condolences to you and your family on this tragic loss. May it be of some small comfort to know others care deeply and also mourn. Johnny and Matty's flames will never be extinguished.

I was honored to meet Johnny at Nationwide Arena last year.What a remarkable young man.So sorry for your loss.He will be missed.

Rip Johnny Hockey

Johnny being from Flyers nation wanted to be a Flyers just wasn´t in the cards. But what a great honor to watch him play , deepest condolences to Johnny and Matthew family
I can´t imagine you´re pain

Johnny never played on the team that I was rooting for, but every time he touched the puck you were filled with admiration of his skill and a feeling of 'oh oh' Johnny's got the puck, we're in trouble.
No matter what team you were pulling for, everybody loved Johnny Hockey. We are all gutted by this tragedy. As an avid cyclist, I find comfort in imagining that he and his brother Matthew were enjoying a wonderful moment together, happy to be together, in NJ at a time of celebration with their wonderful families. My heart aches for all of you. Please find strength and peace in their memories and the love for both of them that so many felt.

My sincere condolences go out to all of the family, your friends and hockey family...my heart is broken for you all...sending strength and healing vibes

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Thoughts and prayers to the Gaudreau family. Rest in peace Johnny and Matthew.

We lived in Calgary then moved to Vancouver island and one of our favorite things was to go to a Calgary at Vancouver game wearing a Canucks jersey and a Calgary Flames hat, and watch Johnny Hockey play. We send our most heartfelt condolences to his wife, children, sister-in-law who also lost her husband Matthew, and their parents and sisters. Rhonda and Carey

That he was a good Catholic man of Faith he was a brother Knight of Columbus he showed faith in Action

The loss of Johnny and Matthew is such a tragic and senseless way has touched the heart and soul of everyone...my deepest condolences to the entire family. Tim

I remember watching you score the insurance goal in the NCAA championship game and the immense pride I personally felt that an undersized kid from Jersey put Ferris State away. I followed your career like so many others and I truly thank you for showing smaller forwards that they can have a home in the NHL. Thank you for all you did for the game and for NJ hockey as a hole. You and your brother helped out Jersey HS hockey on the map. Rest easy Johnny.

when johnny signed with CBJ i was beyond overjoyed, a true bluejacket! my heart is broken, i can only offer my heartfelt condolences to the gaudreau family and wish nothing but love and peace to them at such a difficult time. god bless you all.

I have never met any of you, but from the moment I heard of this tragedy, I cannot stop thinking this. So very sorry for this devastating loss within your family. May God wrap His loving arms around you and provide the strength you need to get through the days ahead. Prayers and deepest condolences to all of you

Well we only knew Johnny as a fan our hearts were deeply saddened by the news. We can only image the deep pain of this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the whole family.

Condolences to all of the Gaudreau family. Johnny is the one who got me interested in hockey. Since the 1st day I saw his magic on ice I was hooked. That infectious smile, those beautiful eyes, his wonderful personality and of course his hockey skills. He loved his family, you could see that when he talked about them. I will never forget him. His brother Matty and him are still together looking over their families. May they both RIP and know the world is heartbroken. Vicki from Calgary, AB

You are best daddy your kids and you are best houband to your wife all time.

I am a huge hockey fan I watched him countless times even though it wasn't my team I knew who he was. Amazing player. Although I didn't know you personally my heart broke may you and Matthew RIP

We are so very sad for the whole Gaudreau family on the loss of Johnny and Matthew. Please accept our condolences.

I never met Johnny or Matthew but I wish I had. I never met the Gaudreau family but I hope they know how heartbroken we are for them. Never has the saying the good die young been appropriate than in this situation. The only solace is Johnny and Matthew are together and safe forever in a better place.

It was always a pleasure watching Johnny Hockey play over the years, the world and hockey community certainly lost a treasure way too soon. Condolences to the family on the passing of Johnny and Matthew. RIP brothers

I was first introduced to hockey by my son David who is a huge hockey fan. He took me to see the Columbus Blue Jackets and that´s where I watch Johnny Gaudreau (Johnny Hockey) play for the first time. How could you not love him. He was so much fun to watch. I became an instant fan. My son bought season tickets for this season and we were so excited. We are devastated at this tragedy. I feel like I´ve lost a family member. Tears well up at the thought of what this poor family is facing. The loss is unimaginable. But I woke up this morning and told my son, Johnny has a son who they named Johnny. It may not happen in my lifetime, but one day another Johnny Gaudreau (Johnny Hockey) may one day be taking the ice. Our love and prayers to his family, friends, and fans. He was family to all of us

Thanks Johnny

God bless the family.

I have followed sports my whole life. Hockey players are the best, with their time, their humbleness, how they address reporters, direct eye contact. They play every night. Johnny & Matt were good people. Played big time College Hockey at 164 lbs & 11 yrs in NHL hockey at maybe 175 lbs. Kid was tough, but did not play violently out there. Just with skill, guile & keeping his head up at all times. Will try to honor their memory, by pounding my local politicians on even tougher DWI, 1 st time punishments & increasing MADD'S victim advocacy

Hearing Johnny hockey in the Saddledome and when he scored game 7 against Dallas

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Condolences to the family

I am broken. My most heartfelt condolences to the Gaudreau family. I´m so sorry for your loss, SO sorry. I loved Johnny Gaudreau. He was my favourite hockey player. You all deserved better, I can´t even imagine what you are going through losing 2 sons. To the wives of both Matthew and Johnny- I´m sorry. I don´t know any of you, but through the success and inspiration, as well as tremendous family values of both Johnny and Matthew, I know all of you. Thank you for allowing Johnny to sign in our small Canadian city. So many memories. Above it all, his kindness as a human being shines through. And I know Matthew was much the same. To their parents, Mama and Papa Gaudreau- you did a tremendous job raising 2 great men. I´m sad, and so sorry Gaudreau family. My most sincere condolences. To Johnny and Matthew- Rest In Peace. .

A true inspiration, Johnny was admired by many, including my 5´ 8" grandson, who now plays D1 Ivy League Hockey. Thank you, Johnny, for showing him that one´s physical size is so outweighed by the size of your heart and drive. You and Matthew will live forever in all of our hearts.

To the family and loved ones you are in my prayers.
RIP Johnny.

Met him in the locker room and then met him again when I was in the children´s hospital in Calgary. Johnny signed a picture of him and gave it to me and it said my name and best wishes. The picture is still framed in my room to this day. Johnny was my favourite and the reason I got into hockey he will forever rest in peace. FOREVER 13

Johnny was an inspiration to us all shorter hockey players. The night sky shines brighter while the NHL gets a little dimmer with this senseless tragedy. Johnny Hockey forever.

My hubby and I got to see Johnny play in a New Year´s Eve game several years ago and we won of course. It was great to see him in person, always a great time watching our Flames! He will be greatly missed. Our hearts are with the Gaudreau family and friends. Hug your loved ones a little tighter.

Johnny made me laugh during this practice. I got distracted and he power slapped a puck into the wall right in front of me I´m pretty sure I spritzed a little.

R.I.P Johnny, you were my favourite hockey player of all time.

One of the all time greatest hockey players in the NHL he was a fantastic player on the ice and his charitable contributions off the ice in Calgary were second to none i firmly believe that when he was going to retire in the NHL he was going to be a hockey hall of famer and I firmly believe that his number 13 should be retired by the Calgary Flames and even possibly league wide to his family and friends may god bless you in this unfortunate time of grief and my sympathies and condolences and thoughts and prayers

My heart breaks for the whole family. Sending thoughts and prayers. RIP

RIP Johnny Hockey. The hockey world will never be the same. I know you'll be watching the Jackets from above this season. The 5th Line misses you already. Peace.

My sympathies to the entire Gaudreau family. I was lucky enough to know his aunts & uncles at North Country Union HS.

my memory is the blue jackets vs lightning
stanley and kelly cup echl and more

Rest in peace Johnny. We as fans everywhere in the NHL will miss you on the ice. Fly high Johnny into the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.

My deepest condolences to the family and many, many friends.
RIP guys
I'm reading what you left behind in your lives; you were both truly remarkable men.

I am so sorry for your family´s loss. I am truly sickened and heartbroken over this senseless tragedy. When I was at his first game with the Bluejackets, I witnessed his first goal with us. I couldn´t believe how fast he was on the ice. I truly couldn´t keep up with him. I was so thrilled and full of pride for my City, State, and team when I found out that Johnny Hockey wanted to come play for the Bluejackets. I pray that God will wrap His arms around all of you during this hard time, as you mourn the loss of Johnny and Matthew. I absolutely cannot imagine what your family is going through. The 5th Line has your support and your backs. RIP Johnny and Matthew!

May Johnny and his brother Matthew rest in eternal peace. I will be offering a. Mass for them and also plenary indulgences. I am a Day one CBJ fan and loved watching him play throughout his career. His character and love of family and friends was evident. I am sad for all those close to him - but know that he awaits them with Joy and love. May God bless you all.

Condolences to his family

Thank you Johnny Hockey. Rest easy.

RIP Johnny

He was a man of high hockey IQ. He was a great inspiration and family man. I can't count the times he beat my team. However, I always appreciated his approach to the game. Johnny was the true definition of a mentor within his community. He did so much for the hockey world and touches so many lives. Travel safe Johnny we all love you and rest easy. To your family and friends. Mybfamily and I will keep you always in our prayers. Our condolences to his wife and children. The world is a much lesser place without Johnny.

Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to sign a couple trading cards from your playing career when you joined the Blue Jackets

The death of JOHNNY GAUDREAU is terrible for his Family and Friends. It's a great loss for hockey fans. We grow to love our hockey stars.
