Today marks 1 year since the passing of Jon Huber, Mr Brodie Lee. Today we honour Jon’s remarkable legacy in and out of the ring with match clips, photos and memories. Please join us by sharing your favourite Big Rig memories.#BrodieLeeForever https://t.co/wlHdYJpGZO
Big E took to Twitter and said that one of his best friends left him on this day. He said that he wanted to text him every day. He wrote a heartfelt message as a tribute to him.
E was quoted saying,
“One year today, Jon Huber, one of my best friends on earth, passed away. I still have a dozen things I want to text him every day. I still remember the way he would type out laughter in a text (“ha ha ha”). I still have the play-by-play of his son’s amateur wrestling performance on my phone, as Jon anxiously & proudly watched on. The dream of driving fifteen minutes to his Tampa house for Sunday dinners when we retired still lingers.
There will still never be anyone to fill his shoes. As painfully tragic as this has been, there’s so much good to reflect on. I’m so grateful that so many people have made a commitment to keeping Jon’s memory alive. I’m happy that he so enriched the lives of so many people in and out of this profession. Brodie (he was always “Brodie” to me), the laughs we shared far surpassed the tears I’ve shed over you. I hope we all continue to honour you in the way you deserve. I still miss you and will always love you, my friend.”

Love is forever.
