WWE Champion Big E has sent a heartfelt message to former WWE Superstar, the late Brodie Lee, on the one-year anniversary of the latter's passing.
Taking to Twitter, Big E wrote a lengthy post remembering Brodie Lee. In the heartfelt note, Big E emotionally described how much Brodie Lee meant to him and how close the two were.
He ended the note by claiming that he misses his friend and will always love him. You can read the entire note from Big E to Brodie Lee below -
“One year ago 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 text (“ha ha ha.”). I still have the play-by-play of his son’s amateur wrestling performance in 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 all 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 so glad 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 honor you in the way you deserve. I still miss you and will always love you, my friend.”
