Also in October, the brothers’ wives, parents and other family members attended the team’s special tribute to the brothers at their season opening game. As a banner bearing Johnny’s name and jersey number, 13, was raised, his and Meredith’s daughter Noa, 2, was seen pointing up at the rafters at Columbus’ Nationwide Arena.
“Thank you to our entire Columbus Blue Jackets family for such a beautiful night celebrating our favorite guy,” Meredith, who also shares son Johnny, 10 months, with her late husband, wrote on Instagram after the game. “NWA was our second home as a family and a place I still feel close to John in. I could see in Noa’s eyes that she can feel it too.”
