Wrestling star Brodie Lee is dead.

The Professional wrestler whose birth name is Jon Huber, but is better known by his stage name Brodie Lee, died at the age of 41 on Sunday morning, December 27.

According to his wife Amanda Huber, the wrestler died “surrounded by loved ones after a hard-fought battle with a non-[COVID-19] related lung issue,” she said in a post on Instagram.

She 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.”

All Elite Wrestling, which he wrestled for, also confirmed his death in an official statement over social media.
