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.

— Tony Khan (@TonyKhan) December 27, 2020

Our entire brotherhood and industry mourns tonight. In addition to his incredible passion and talent, Jon was above all else, a great man, who loved his family more than words can say. Please keep them in your thoughts. I’ll see you down the road, brother ♥? #RIPBrodieLee pic.twitter.com/DvTNr3Vo4g

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.

I remember this segment more than anything with Jon. It was taking longer than usual to set up and Jon was keeping everyone loose and upbeat the entire time. Had such a positive effect on everyone he came around. #RIPBrodieLee pic.twitter.com/hrcJoXYFi7

When i started wrestling I picked the name Brody not only for Bruiser Brody but also because of Brodie Lee. He was someone that truly pushed the boundaries of a big man wrestler .Though i never got to meet him I looked up to him not only as a wrestler but also a family man. RIP. https://t.co/Tp4kOX8yB9

— Brody King (@Brodyxking) December 27, 2020

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

When I was 15 years old, Brodie Lee became one of my closest friends in wrestling. I spent hours daily talking to “Huber93” on AIM discussing EVERYTHING we could about wrestling.

— Sam Adonis (@RealSamAdonis) December 27, 2020

In 15 years, I learned a lot from him. But the most important was that it’s possible to make pro wrestling a career and also make being a husband and a dad the most important career.
