Brodie Lee Passes Away at Age 41: Remembered By Wife and Peers
At approximately 8:33 pm EST, All Elite Wrestling confirmed on their social media channels that Job Huber, better known to wrestling fans as Brodie Lee or Luke Harper tragically passed away at age 41. Read the full statement below.
”The All Elite Wrestling family is heartbroken. In an industry filled with good people, Jon Huber was exceptionally respected and beloved in every way - a fierce and captivating talent, a thoughtful mentor and simply a kind soul that starkly contradicted his persona as Mr. Brodie Lee.Jon’s love for his wife Amanda, and children Brodie and Nolan, was evident to all of us who were fortunate to spend time with him, and we send our love and support to his beautiful family, today and always. Jon’s popularity among his peers and influence on the wrestling world was worldwide and transcended AEW, so this loss will be felt by many for a long time.
We were privileged at AEW to call Jon Huber a brother, a friend and one of our own.”
Jon’s wife Amanda wrote the following Instagram post in memory of her best friend and late husband:
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.
The outpouring of kind words about Jon Huber the human being has been remarkably heartwarming yet equally upsetting to read. By all accounts, he adored his family and was universally liked and respected by his peers. Cherish today because tomorrow isn't promised.
Below are some of those very words from his peers and co-workers.
