After Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau were killed last night due to a drunk driver, many athletes around the world sent their prayers and condolences.
One of the bigger names to come out and offer support to the Gaudreau family was NBA superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers LeBron James. He replied to a friend on Twitter who shared the story with him.
"Insane man! I instantly got so down and sad after reading the story. My thoughts and prayers goes out to the Gaudreau family! May Johnny and Matthew fly high, guide/guard and bless their family/s from the heavens above."
The Columbus Blue Jackets confirmed that death of the superstar and his brother Matthew with a heartbreaking statement yesterday morning.
"Johnny played the game with great joy which was felt by everyone that saw him on the ice. He brought a genuine love for hockey with him everywhere he played from Boston College to the Calgary Flames to Team USA to the Blue Jackets. He thrilled fans in a way only Johnny Hockey could.
The impact he had on our organization and our sport was profound, but pales in comparison to the indelible impression he made on everyone who knew him. Johnny embraced our community when he arrived two years ago, and Columbus welcomed him with open arms. We will miss him terribly and do everything that we can to support his family and each other through this tragedy."
