This is straight facts. I was flat broke and using busted equipment Brodie and Amanda saw what I was using and didn’t like it so they bought me an entire set up. The note that came with the gift never leaves my wallet. https://t.co/DYzwVy10Sj

Brody, i found the picture finally! Abu Dhabi Strike Force. I was Tito because he was the body guy. After this photo we dropped a double elbow and we both hurt our backs but we didn’t mentioned it till after the match and we both laughed how silly it was. pic.twitter.com/fJpLwN2clK

When Brodie came back and tagged with @ErickRedBeard he asked me if I had some extra band shirts because he felt like he didn’t have enough shirts to compete with Rowan’s extensive band shirt collection that he used walking out and wanted the most obscure one I had to show him up

Brodie and I would rib/bury each other literally for years at work for no other reason than our entertainment...like when I begged him to take this pic with me and he pretended to be nice and sweet and then did this ???? miss you already big homie rest easy. pic.twitter.com/fJfZSEvvts

If you got to know the real Jon/Brodie then you were very fortunate! This man was truly one of a kind. Sarcastically witty lol, kind, hard working, dedicated to his family, cool as hell (and the list goes on). His heart was so big that’s what I’m going to miss about him most ...

Seth Rollins: "I was hoping at some point that the perfect words would come to me, but the truth is I still can’t even come to terms with reality on this one. My heart is so broken. I loved Brodie. He was truly all the great things everyone has already said he is and if you ever met him you’d have known it in an instant.
He was a loving husband. A devoted father. He was a kind soul. A loyal friend. He was a grinder too, man. Passionate and thoughtful. Smart and funny. Dude had an infectious laugh and was such a shit stirrer. He was a person I looked forward to...and it god damn kills me to know I’ll never be able to do that again...
Back in FCW, I vouched HARD for Brodie to get hired at WWE based on knowing and working with him briefly in ROH. We spent a little time in Tampa together, but The Shield debut took me on the road pretty soon after he moved down. Luckily, the Wyatt Family followed us out of developmental shortly thereafter and let me tell you he was a real treat to have on the road. That’s where we really got to know each other.
I’ll always love him for prodding Bray and Braun to see how far they’d take their ridiculous oneupsmanship. He was often a monitor sellout because we’d all be waiting to see how many of Dana’s poses he’d sneak in during his match. He even came to me to try CrossFit when he wanted to lean up. I think he hated burpees more than I do. Funnily enough, he and I almost came to blows backstage during the Shield/Wyatt series. We were both so fired up trying to do right by our respective squads that we tended to get a little snippy towards each other. It was the best. He was the best.
And I’m smiling so big as I’m remembering all this good stuff, fighting back tears. I thought writing this would just be all crying and sadness, but it’s impossible to remember Brodie without laughing. He was just a light of good energy.
I looked up to Brodie. Not just because he was a physical mountain of a man, but because of how he was as a father and husband. And as I venture into those realms myself now, I really hope I can carry a bit of him with me. I hope I can be to my family even a little of what he was to his.
Love you, big man. Miss you already."
As a father, husband and one of the boys, Harper set the example for so many on how to do it right. He loved wrestling and his family so, so much. Words won’t ease the pain, but the memories and stories let him live forever. #RIPBrodieLee

Randy Orton: "I knew Luke from work. I always called him Luke. Some of us call each other by our ring names, some real names. It gets confusing, but I always called him Luke. I’ve been in a wwe lockeroom more than half of my existence, and there is an unwritten code. Respect is at the top. You all have heard about how much we all respected Luke, about how much we all enjoyed his presence. It is a fact. I’m telling ya, on the back of a bus, traveling and away from family for weeks in a row, he was one of the ones I’d make sure to secure a seat on that bus next to. I’m not perfect, never thought I was. Neither was he. But talking to him, and conversing about our families, as most husbands/fathers do on these trips at some point, I learned that he was near perfect when it came to how he loved his sons and his wife Amanda. His wife was close to my wife, and she considers Amanda one of her dear friends when it comes to the word ‘friend’ in this biz. You see, many times there are acquaintances, or co workers, or fellow talent, but with Kim and Amanda, I felt as if they had that female intuition thing going on and were meant to be friends. Amanda’s attitude about the business her husband was in was a very positive one. It had given them everything, as it has me and my family. But often, as in most professions there are times when you get down on your current status. Luke and I often talked about the biz, and how it affected our lives, our families, and us as men. I remember him saying that he wanted to do more, and knew that he was capable of doing more. He was. Seeing him have the balls to take that leap of faith and seeing him make the decision was an inspiration to me. I was always very proud of him and out of my peripheral vision I watched him as a fellow 20 year vet and saw many things that impressed me. Not just his work inside the ring, but how he treated others in the back. I’m telling you guys reading this, that this mans character IS unmatched. I have many stories involving Luke and I, and I will always cherish them. Know that he was a great human being. I will be in that same lockeroom tomorrow and look forward to sharing stories about my friend, Luke. #RIPLukeHarper."
This means so much to our community and I know for a fact his family - in wrestling terms - popped huge for this @DougGilmour93 - thank you so much! ???? https://t.co/4jdo6yUO7B

Braun Strowman: "The crazy thing about this fan art is I’m sure I can speak for the rest of the guys in it and in the locker rooms he shared that we all looked up to Jon. From day one when I didn’t know sh** about the business ( trust me he reminded me on the regular lol) he took me under his wing his constructive criticism was like no ones else’s he had no problem telling me when I sucked but he also was one of the first ones to tell me when I did something good. We traveled the world together and he had to put up with my crazy ass. I learned so much from him and god the memories I will cherish the rest of my life are unbelievable. We all used to joke about when we were all old and fat and fired from anywhere that would let us wrestle that we were gonna take over the mid evil times business and he said he was gonna be the silver knight and the silver knight ain’t putting nobody’s ass over. Because in the ring he made everyone look amazing. He’s was one of the must unselfish men I’ve ever met and an amazing husband and father it was always magical being around him with his family cause he went from salty old Brodie to loving Jon. I wish I could walk out to the firefly’s one more time with you brother. Those were the most amazing days of my career and I will hold them hi till I’m gone. Save me a seat and a turkey leg at the round table. Ride hard silver knight. I love you"
After my match against Brandi on late night dynamite, Brodie was the first person I saw when I came to the back. I had no idea he was going to watch the match. He was the the first person to tell me good job and was smiling. It meant a lot to me and I’ll never forget that.

When I chatted on set with Jon Huber (then known as Luke Harper in WWE), I mentioned to him that my young sons were big fans of his. That night, after filming his scenes, he taped the following message for my sons, by name, putting me over. Just the coolest dude. #RIPBrodieLee pic.twitter.com/PF7pN5v89p
— Tony Tost (@tonytost) December 27, 2020
Brodie texted me after one of my matches because I had gotten knocked out. He didn’t have to, but He had a huge heart and wanted everyone to do good.
— Mr. Fun Size (@realmarkostunt) December 28, 2020
He often told me about how our time was coming again, and how I’d get him back for our previous match ?????? pic.twitter.com/ZqhsNWzuhh
I love making people laugh. There was something about @ThisBrodieLee laugh that would egg me on to make him laugh more. I’m so glad i got to hear that laugh. #RIPBrodieLee
— Bunkhouse Butch (@andycomplains) December 28, 2020
It meant the world to him that he got to win a title at Mania in front of his son. Jon would always excitedly tell me how his oldest son did in wrestling tournaments and jiu jitsu practice. https://t.co/7jTKNLAxfH

In all this, I can hear Brodie saying to me "make sure you put me over". All the love everyone's giving is just so correct. He was so gregarious & silly and made fun of every situation. #RIPBrodieLee
A wrestling memory of Brodie. I remember one of my very first FCW shows I was just a security guy. I sat and watch @MmmGorgeous & @trentylocks take on Brodie & Rowan. I watched in awe at all 4 of them tear the house down in one of the best tag matches I’d ever seen, in front of
— Dax FTR (@DaxFTR) December 28, 2020
30 people. I came to the back to tell all four of them how incredible it was. When I walked to the back, they were getting yelled at by a “coach” because how “bad” it was. When the “coach” left, Brodie just started laughing because he knew they all 4 had painted a masterpiece.

I had just lost on Dynamite, I go to Brodie the next time I see him and say maybe I should drink some of the Kool-Aid...he said “...the DO is full right now but you’re doing really good work and your time is coming...plus that Kool-Aid taste like shit!” ???????????? #RIPBrodieLee pic.twitter.com/8rN4QfDNLt

A day later, Jon’s tragic passing is even more heartbreaking & hits so close to home for me. I am terribly sad for his wife, Amanda & his 2 sons, Brodie & Nolan. Jon was a proud father, it’s unfair he was taken from his family during their best years.
