AEW STAR JON HUBER AKA BRODIE LEE PASSES AWAY, COMPLETE COVERAGE

Jonathan Huber aka AEW star Brodie Lee passed away today following an illness, it was announced by his wife via Instagram.   Huber was only 41 years old.

Amanda Huber's Instagram post noted Huber had been battling a non-COVID-19 related lung disease and had been treated at Mayo Clinic.  Huber wrote:

"My best friend died today.

I never wanted to write out those words. My heart is broken. The world saw him as the amazing @brodielee (fka Luke Harper) but he was my best friend, my husband, and the greatest father you would ever meet. No words can express the love I feel or how broken I am right now. He passed surrounded by love ones after a hard fought battle with a non Covid related lung issue. The @mayoclinic is literally the best team of doctors and nurses in the world who surrounded me with constant love.

On top of that, I can’t express my love and admiration for the way @allelitewrestling has treated not only my husband but myself and my kids. @margaret.stalvey @meghalegalgirl10 @americannightmarecody @thebrandirhodes @nickjacksonyb @mattjackson13 @kennyomegamanx @tonyrkhan and the rest of the team at AEW have helped keep me standing and pick up all the broken pieces.

I’ve been surrounded by so much love and incredible people I can’t tag them all but they know who they are and I don’t think they will ever know how thankful I am for them."

AEW has already publicly confirmed his passing:

 Huber was formerly known as Luke Harper during his time with WWE, a member of The Wyatt Family.  In AEW, for which he debuted earlier this year, Huber was revealed as the leader of The Dark Order.  

This is a breaking story and we will have more as soon as possible, including a look at Huber's career.

Our deepest condolences to the Huber's family, friends and fans.
