The wrestling world reacts to the passing of Jon Huber (aka AEW’s Brodie Lee, former WWE star Luke Harper)
Brodie Lee (Jon Huber) was loved by so many people in the wrestling business and, as you could imagine, a ton of reaction is poured in on social media after the news of his passing at the age of 41.
To say that this is a massive shock to the wrestlers is a massive understatement. Lee was known in real-life to be a family man and one of the nicest guys in the business. Here is just some of the reactions coming in on social media:
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.

One of the worst days of my life

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.

Brodie was one of the best humans I’ve ever met. We hit it off as soon as we met. He was an amazing performer, a mentor, but more importantly a dear friend. You will never be forgotten. Thank you for everything. #RIPBrodieLee https://t.co/3vbBo0K8bO

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.

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 have one Brodie Lee memory, when I was backstage at Smackdown, him and Miro were trash talking each other about FIFA.. I was shocked he was talking so much since Harper probably never talked. #RIPBrodieLee

Gutted to hear about Jon passing away. He saved me from a broken neck. He would get so mad when I pulled up a chair for him to sit in and referred to him as ‘Taker-sir.’
“You’re gonna get me heat, kid.”Condolences to his family and peers that loved him dearly. #RIPBrodieLee

After he flipped my table & I miraculously caught the laptop. He came up to me & said:
“My wife got mad & told me I had to apologize to you for breaking your table”
We had a good laugh for months after this happened. He had such a twinkle in his eye when he laughed Miss u, friend https://t.co/MlIbS3i0o7— Leva Bates (@wrestlingleva) December 27, 2020

It’s hard to explain to people, and I’m not certain he would want me to, that the biggest, scariest man you’ll ever see on your television is the kindest soul you’d ever meet. A model of a husband and father, and proof that some people are too good for this earth. ♥️ https://t.co/jm6YKlRNBu
