Amanda Huber Remembers Husband Brodie Lee, Five Years on

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the day that Brodie Lee, also known as Luke Harper, real name Jonathan Huber, died young from pulmonary fibrosis. It was a loss acutely felt across the business, and five years on, his widow Amanda Huber has penned a tribute and remembrance online.

“I still remember it like it was yesterday,” she writes. “I can close my eyes and walk thru the whole day. Waking up that morning in the hotel and knowing it was going to be over. Taking in the walk from the hotel to the hospital. Walking into the room with Big Hero 6 playing. Seeing my incredible nursing staff (including one who wasn’t supposed to be there but came in so I wasn’t alone)”

“Watching our friends filter thru. Going thru the worst moment of my life telling Brodie. Walking back to the hospital knowing it was the last time. The sounds the family made when they walked into the room and saw him for the first time. Holding his hand as he let go. My nurses holding me in that moment. Cleaning up the room I essentially lived in for months.”

She also thanks Cody Rhodes by name for taking care of her son, young Brodie, during the process.

You can see the entire statement below:

Five years.

This year seems heavier. Five seems like the next milestone. At first it was making it thru the first hour you were gone. Then the first day. First week. First month. Six months. First year.

Five seems like the next milestone.
