Funeral details for NHL star Johnny Gaudreau and brother Matthew confirmed after their tragic deaths in DUI crash

Funerals for Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau are scheduled for Monday at a church in a Philadelphia suburb. The driver accused of killing them remains in jail awaiting his next court appearance.

The memorial service for the two Gaudreau brothers will be held at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church in the suburb of Media, Pennsylvania.

The Columbus Blue Jackets, the team Johnny Gaudreau last played for, have said they will stream the service through their website.

Johnny Gaudreau, affectionately known in the sport as “Johnny Hockey,” and his brother Matthew were killed last Thursday night when they were struck and killed by a suspected drunk driver.

They were cycling in the early evening of the day before their sister Katie’s wedding.

The driver, Sean Higgins, appeared virtually for his initial preliminary hearing on Thursday. The judge in the case postponed the hearing until Sept. 13 to give attorneys more time to prepare.

Higgins, 43, is being held in a Salem County, New Jersey jail charged with two counts of vehicular homicide, reckless driving, possession of an open container and alcohol in a motor vehicle.

Attorneys Matthew Portella and Richard Klineburger III, who hired Higgins, said in a statement: “This is a deeply emotional tragedy that has impacted many people. It is too early in the legal process to make any out-of-court rulings.”

An unknown number of members of the hockey community are expected to attend the funeral along with family and friends.

That goes for people from Columbus and Calgary, where Johnny played, but also from South Jersey and Boston College, where both brothers went to university.

Blue Jackets general manager Don Waddell said the entire team would be in attendance. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman was also expected to attend.

Fans, current and former players paid tribute to the brothers at candlelight events in Columbus, Ohio, and Calgary, Alberta, Canada on Wednesday night.

Outside the Nationwide Arena in Columbus, a 13-minute, 21-second silent memorial was held for the two brothers. Numbers 13 and 21 were Johnny’s and Matthew’s playing numbers, respectively.

A slideshow featured photos of the siblings through their childhood, teenage years, college hockey, the pros, weddings, baptisms and more in their lives.

Bagpipes blared outside the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary as thousands turned out to remember Johnny, who was selected 104th overall by the Flames in the 2011 NHL draft.

Lewis Gross, the brothers’ agent, said Thursday that it took him some time to write about what it meant to him to represent the brothers over the past 15 years.

“Hockey may be over, but my commitment to John and Matt will last a lifetime,” Gross wrote on social media. “These guys taught me so much. They taught me what family really means.”

Other tributes to the brothers came from NHL legends such as Jaromir Jagr, as well as Johnny’s wife Meredith.

Montreal Canadiens forward Cole Caufield announced Tuesday that he is changing his jersey number from 22 to 13 in memory of Johnny.

A GoFundMe page has been set up in support of Matthew Gaudreau’s wife Madeline, who is currently pregnant with their child.

At the time of publication, the goal amount of $30,000 had already been reached and the $620,000 mark had already been surpassed.
