This was my Bday, which I share with Doc. Brodie & Miro photobombed us & we all shared a great laugh.
I’m shattered over Brodie’s passing. He was full of life with a wife & young children he loved. A devastating reminder of how fragile life is. Rest well, friend.#RIPBrodieLee pic.twitter.com/3p5BH18YIr

I hope you all get to know someone like Jon. He was the biggest family man & someone who made me laugh daily. I’ll miss him every day for the rest of my life. I love you, Brodie, and I thank you so much for loving me.

Jon used to tell people he played offensive tackle at Notre Dame & blocked for Tony Rice in the ‘80s. Just to pop himself. And me.
— Florida Man (@WWEBigE) December 27, 2020
He got a Cameo from Sinbad. And that also popped me. pic.twitter.com/DWbIwBsyRT

He was real pleased with photobombing Kamaru Usman’s pic. Looking like a lunatic. pic.twitter.com/VmZ3dZoakq

Jon was genuinely one of the best, honest and kindest man I've ever known. He was like that the very first day I met him back in 2007 and was like that the very last day I saw him. I will always only have good memories of him.
I love you man.RIP: Mr Brodie Lee pic.twitter.com/zvCkN9STFs

This is all a grotesque nightmare on a scale none of us can possibly comprehend, this year has done nothing but take and I think we are all empty, tired and drained. Sleep well my friend, thank you so much for the road trips and the advice through the years. You were golden.

I’m devastated by the loss of Jon Huber, known to fans as Mr. Brodie Lee, formerly Luke Harper. Jon was a great man. His family came first, his loving wife Amanda & their sons Brodie + Nolan. He loved wrestling & was great at it, he loved you fans. Please keep him in your hearts.
