Amanda Huber pays heartbreaking tribute to Brodie Lee on 5-year anniversary of his passing

It's been five years since Brodie Lee passed away. Amanda Huber has paid a heartbreaking tribute to him on the anniversary of his passing.

After making a name for himself in WWE, Brodie Lee joined the AEW roster in 2020 as the leader of The Dark Order. Things were going well for him in the Jacksonville-based promotion. He won the TNT Championship and was just about to hit the peak of his career. However, everything came to a screeching halt in 2020 when he passed away on December 26.

Now, it's already been five years since the former WWE star passed away. His wife, Amanda Huber, took to Instagram to pen a beautiful and heartbreaking tribute to her late husband. She recalled the day he passed away just like it was yesterday.

"I still remember it like it was yesterday. I can close my eyes and walk thru the whole day. Waking up that morning in the hotel and knowing it was going to be over. Taking in the walk from the hotel to the hospital. Walking into the room with Big Hero 6 playing. Seeing my incredible nursing staff (including one who wasn’t supposed to be there but came in so I wasn’t alone) Watching our friends filter thru. Going thru the worst moment of my life telling Brodie. Walking back to the hospital knowing it was the last time. The sounds the family made when they walked into the room and saw him for the first time. Holding his hand as he let go. My nurses holding me in that moment. Cleaning up the room I essentially lived in for months. Getting texts of Brodie flying kites on the beach with @americannightmarecody Taking in the sunset on my final walk back to the hotel. Sitting in the hotel room trying to come up with the words to put out to the public that he was gone."
