Who Died: August 2024 Week 4 | News

[@Katclem47]

And the Gaudreau brothers, killed by a drunk driver while riding their bikes, were in Jersey for their sister's wedding today. It is beyond heartbreaking.

[@lorettanericcio-bohlman567]

Instead of putting more tech in automobiles, how about breathalyzers??

[@thatShadowKat]

@@lorettanericcio-bohlman567 Starting to hold drink drivers responsible would start to give others more pause. Or hold judges in contempt if they keep the habitual drivers on the road. These days it's easier than ever to get a ride if you're drunk.

Welcome back Linnea! Hope you had a relaxing time off. Stephen did a fantastic job filling in. RIP to all we've lost in the past week

[@chrislindsay3104]

Glad you're back, Linnea! Roget Cook has got to be the first landscaper to be honored on this channel.

[@LaVanderWilliams]

WOW!! As a landscaper myself, he was my favorite on This Old House. That's a huge shock to me. R.I.P. Roger.

[@donnabrooks1173]

I always enjoyed seeing him on this old house. Was shocked when I heard he passed away. My condolences to his family. His wife also passed on some years ago to an illness, I believe.

Sad, families died together this week. Brothers with brothers, fathers with daughters husbands with wives. May they rest in peace.💐🙏🏾

[@LaVanderWilliams]

R.I.P. to all we've lost this week. As a landscaper, Roger Cook was my favorite on This Old House. As an old school wrestling fan, Sid Vicious was extremely entertaining. As for the Gaudreau brothers, it's very saddening that they lost their lives to a drunk driver, who was trying to pass another vehicle. I'm surprised how quickly the information was passed on here, as it was breaking news this morning ( I live in NJ ) And, again, thank you Legacy, for another tasteful obituary, read with dignity, as always.

[@gregggoss2210]

@LaVanderWilliams, where did this happen? On 295?

[@ki5aok]

I just received notification from iHeartMedia in my feed. I came back here as I remember seeing those names when I was watching this video five hours ago.

[@annbee4494]

I am seeing a lot of people around me not making it into their senior years or die shortly after entering in to it. I am constantly reminded that life is short and we need to live as each day is our life is the last. I put my faith in the Lord and live for him. RIP to everyone who has passed on. Gone, but not forgotten. ⚘⚘⚘

I wonder, could all those steroids injected back in the day been the root cause of dying of cancer at a relatively young age. We all know he and many, many others were dosing quite heavily back them. Many of them also died premature deaths. Coincidence? Maybe.

[@ernestcruz6316]

​​@@charliecharles-xw4ubSid died of Non-Hodgkins' lymphoma, which quite a few heavy steroid users get, so it's likely. Big John Studd died of that too.

RIP Sid Eudy thanks for the childhood memories during the best era of WWF.

[@robertweber2145]

Totally agree

[@Laura-i2r9r]

The Tragic Deaths of Johnny Gaudreau and his brother stunned me and then just broke my heart . Struck while riding their Bikes by an Intoxicated driver who has been arrested and charged with Vehicular Manslaughter while under the Influence of Alcohol over the Limit . Soo young and Johnny just became a father to a son in February . Really miss Valerie Harper and Laura Branigan whose music Insimply adored in the early 1980s . She died young also at 52. I’m nearly age 60 and was a Highschool Girl when her music was popular . Still love it on Spotify . ❤😊

Every week there is someone who passes that really pull on your heart strings. Thursday night, Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau were senselessly killed by a aggressive drunk driver. To add to this families pain it was the night before their sister's wedding. I hope this man spends his life in prison but he won't. We should be throwing the book at every drunk driver. So so devastated for this family. I'm old wish I could give my life instead of Johnny and Matthew. Hope the family and community pull together to help this family. Besides their younger sister, Johnny leaves behind his wife 2 small children and their parents. Matthew leaves his wife and sister and parents. Absolute tragedy!!!

The saddest thing about the yacht that went down is the fact that all those who died were found below in their cabins trying to find an air hole, if only they had gone up to the deck instead they went down into their cabins, the chef was found floating, it was such a freakish storm that came out of nowhere, was a hatch left open?, Mr. Lynch had just been acquitted too and his daughter was only 18.

Glad to have you back Linnea. Your partner did an excellent job, but there's something about your soothing voice that makes the sad news a bit more bearable. It seems that there have been many Wrestlers leaving us these days. I wonder why that is. Perhaps the medication it takes to maintain those bodies, or maybe the physical aspect of their job? Either way, it's heartbreaking.
