Katie Gaudreau receives cruel online comments following brothers death

After the tragic accident involving an alleged drunk driver that took the lives of Johnny and Matthew while they were cycling, the hockey community and fans have largely rallied to honor their memories.

The outpouring of love and respect from teammates, fans, and sports figures has highlighted just how much the brothers meant to those around them.

Yet, amid this overwhelming sympathy and support, there have been moments of shocking insensitivity.

Katie Gaudreau, Johnny and Matthew's sister, recently became the target of a particularly cruel comment on Instagram. A user named 'gearing_grace' horrifically blamed the brothers for their own deaths, saying they weren't being aware of their surroundings on the road.

This comment has been met with outrage, and many rushing to defend the Gaudreau's sister who had to cancel her wedding just hours after learning of her brothers' passing, now faces further emotional pain as she deals with online attacks.

The incident highlights the dual nature of social media, where both kindness and cruelty are there each day.

Now, it's important to remember words of encouragement and kindness could offer some comfort during this incredibly challenging time. Katie and the Gaudreau family should know that countless people are thinking of them. We must encourage them to stay strong, and show they're not alone.
