The professional wrestling world is mourning the loss of one of its brightest stars, Jon Huber, who has wrestled under the names Luke Harper and Brodie Lee.
USA Herald has learned from sources in AEW that Harper’s illness was sudden. There is no word currently on what that illness was other than it was a non-coronavirus-related lung issue.
“The All Elite Wrestling family is heartbroken,” his current company said in a statement. “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 very 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. transcended AEW. We were privileged at AEW to call Jon Huber a brother, a friend, and one of our own.”
