I’m confused about the need for the Go Fund Me. He made a ton of money in his life, and wouldn’t his contract be insured? To be clear I’m just asking if there’s some indication that his family is in financial need, I have no idea what happens to contract money in a situation like this awful one.
Edit: as many have pointed out I misread the post title and regret reading it quickly before asking the question (which was asked in good faith).
I of course understand why some people took my question poorly and that’s on me. I will give what I can to the Go Fund Me.

If he was married he probably had life insurance.

My 2 cents whether people agree or not I really really don’t care. what happened was very tragic and sad but really to set up a go fund me the next day to “ ease financial stress “ like common. Johnny’s est career earnings in today’s dollars is $72 USD million as per puck media (attached) He obviously and of course assumed, shared some with his brother. They were close if they were biking together. I don’t believe for ONE second they are hurting like some of the other widows/ families out there that don’t see a penny from anyone else. Again, what happen is SUPER tragic and my condolences to the family but to donate for the kid and whatnot??? Fuck no.

“ In this unimaginably difficult time, we are coming together to support Matthew’s wife, Madeline and their growing baby Tripp, and help alleviate some of the financial burdens they now face. Your support will allow them the time to take off work to grieve and heal as a family.
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.
All donations raised will be transferred directly to Madeline to help pay for funeral expenses and baby Tripp. “
If this was going to a charity or something towards a cause?? Ok sure, to donate so they can have time off work? Nah.
