In the meanwhile, later this year, Matthew and his wife Madeline were expecting their first child, a boy named Tripp. Their due date, according to an internet baby register, is December 31, 2024.
The Gaudreau family, who both played professional hockey, described themselves as “heartbroken” after the
“tragic and unfathomable loss” of their two brothers, Madeline and newborn Tripp, on a verified GoFundMe page.
“Although no amount of money can ease the pain of loss, your support on any level will help take some of the financial weight off the Gaudreau family as they navigate this journey,
” they said in their letter. “All donations raised will be transferred directly to Madeline to help pay for funeral expenses and baby Tripp.”
The initial $30,000 goal has been surpassed as of this writing, with $579,633 raised.
