For one of my favorite promotions ever @2cwV2.

One of my favorite, funnest matches of my career.

This match will always have a special place in my heart.

“A heart is not judged by how much you love, but by how much you are loved by others”

From the out pouring of emotion, it is clear Jon Huber had the biggest heart. ❤️ #RIP

My heart hurts.

I didn’t have the privilege of knowing him personally but he was 1 of my favorites to watch in-ring.

After reading stories, it’s evident he was an great man out of the ring as well.

I’ll always remember The Shield vs Wyatts in MPLS.

Thank you and #RIPBrodieLee https://t.co/vEiq1LcHXn

Jon was one of the best men I have ever met. His dedication to his family, his friends, and his craft were second to none.

He was a real human person, the highest possible compliment, and the world is worse off without him.

Brody always said “Goodbye Forever” as he was leaving the locker room to the next town. You can’t leave forever when you are a part of so many people’s hearts. I love you, Jon. pic.twitter.com/P39M9Fw6az

— Miro (@ToBeMiro) December 27, 2020

Struggling to accept that Brodie is gone. Waves of grief and sorrow are now seeping through the wall of denial and disbelief. So many warm memories are rushing back.

I’ve so much I want to share about him. I love you Brodie. I love you all. Life is an unbelievable, fragile gift.

— Sami Zayn (@SamiZayn) December 27, 2020

Jon Huber was an incredible father, husband, friend, and talent. I can honestly say I’ve never met anyone with his character. John made your life better by being in it. I will miss you my friend. pic.twitter.com/u77d6QYrHZ

— OTIS (DOZER) (@otiswwe) December 27, 2020

Before he’d leave to hit the next town or drive home, Brodie would almost always end the conversation with a joking “goodbye, forever.” I always rolled my eyes. As godawful as this has been, I’m glad I got to say goodbye. I never had a better friend.

— Ettore “Big E” Ewen (@WWEBigE) December 27, 2020

Brodie cried with me when I cried after George Floyd was killed. He & his incredible wife bought @emiliosparks new podcasting equipment because they believed in his dream. He’d text & call people he barely knew when he heard they were sick or grieving. His kindness was boundless.

— Ettore “Big E” Ewen (@WWEBigE) December 27, 2020

ORIGINAL: The passing of Brodie Lee is still sinking in within the wrestling community, and reactions continue to pour in from names big and small within the industry including the Young Bucks, Edge, Jim Ross, and more.

This pic was from my 2nd match against Brodie, at DGUSA in Chicago. That day we talked for over an hour about life, wrestling psychology, his wife just becoming pregnant and how he hoped WWE would give him a chance.

I'm shocked.

By fear of being called a mark or that they would think I wanted something out of them, I stopped myself from taking pictures with countless people that I liked and admired. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. Take those pics. Tell your peers you are proud and love them no matter what.

I first got to see Brodie Lee in Chikara. One of those guys that jumped off the page for a million different reasons. Soon saw that he was in ROH battling Necro, teaming with Delirious. There is a fun ROH brawl on ROH YouTube & there is an awesome CZW match vs Moxley on theirs.

— Ian Riccaboni (@IanRiccaboni) December 27, 2020

And this is pretty cool to see him against Moxley. Even though he was not from Eastern PA, it was awesome to see him make it big as someone I had seen live a bunch as a fan. https://t.co/paUCyJqppL

— Ian Riccaboni (@IanRiccaboni) December 27, 2020

The thing I remember about Luke was how respectful he was. On several occasions he destroyed our announce table but when he was done, my phone was untouched, my notes and run sheets undisturbed and my monitor intact. Then he would look back and give me a wink! RIP Luke pic.twitter.com/OONHG3w0dN

Today is a hard day. 2020 has hit us hard.

Jon (Brodie) was always looking out for younger talent and always treating me with respect like I’ve been in the business for years (I’m very green).
