Matt was a kind, happy young man who always added humor to my Spanish class. My fondest memory of him was the day that he came flying into class on his knees begging me not to mark him late. Of course I didn't....not after that performance! May he and Johnny rest in peace in the loving arms of Jesus! Mrs. Flynn

We can’t begin to understand the pain of loss that the entire Gaudreau family is feeling with the sudden passing of Matthew and John. But thank you for letting your sons be a part of our love for the game of hockey and for allowing them to share their immense talents with us at the collegiate and pro levels. For as wonderful as they were at hockey it’s clear from the testament of many that they were even better sons, husbands and fathers. May your memories of their bright light never fade and help you all in the days ahead. You are in my prayers.Stick taps to you.A Canadian Hockey Fan

Emily Gillespie left a message on September 6, 2024:

I know Matthew wasn’t as well-known as his brother Johnny. It can be hard to be in the shadow of a sibling. The love and admiration that both Gaudreau brothers shared for each other is a testament to their mutual support as professionals. I have no doubt that the bothers pushed each other, and in that way, Matthew is a large part of the reason that Johnny was a star. We learned this week that Matthew was a minor league player and high school coach. What a role model and what a dedicated high school teacher. Thank you for choosing to train young people as a career. I’m so sorry your life was cut so short. If there’s anything after this life, I’m sure you and Johnny will be found together forever.

May God bless you Johnny & Matty and may He hold you both in the palm of His hands. My sincerest condolences to your family & friends. This is such a heartbreaking tragedy. You both earned your wings way too soon. There are no words to ease your loved ones pain, but know that many prayers are being offered for all of you. May God wrap each of you in His loving arms and comfort you with His peace and love in your time of sorrow. Just know that the bond of love is never broken. Johnny and Matty will never truly leave you. They may be gone from sight, but their spirits will truly live on by your sides everyday. Have faith, even when it seems so hard. Faith will get your through. Watch & listen for their signs and they will let you know in many ways that they're still there with you always. You now have angels on each of your shoulders to guide you through life. Talk to them everyday and they will hear you...they will answer you one way or another. It's amazing how their spirits can communicate with you. When the pain of their loss overwhelms you, try to imagine the joy they felt in their hearts being reunited with loved ones that have passed before them that they've missed, and especially think of them together forever in paradise with our Lord. I'm so, so sorry this tragedy happened to your family. Life isn't fair and it seems the truly good ones are always called home too soon. But remember their spirits live on and your love for one another will always connect you. God bless each of you. Know that our thoughts and prayers will remain with your family. God bless you Johnny & Matty. Rest in peace, love & happiness forever with our Lord. Fly high with the angels and enjoy your wings. 1321
