Stephaine McMahon tweeted, "I'm so deeply sorry for the loss of Jon Huber. We bonded over the love of our children. He was a true family man. #RIPBrodieLee"

"When long trips away from home made me miss my wife and daughter, you always made it a little easier. Great wrestler, but perfect family man. I'll make sure Amanda, Brodie and Nolan always know how much they meant to you. I loved being your friend. Rest In Peace, Jon," wrote Dax Harwood.

Ember Moon tweeted, "I am in disbelief. Always so kind. My heart goes out to his family."

"It's hard to explain to people, and I'm not certain he would want me to, that the biggest, scariest man you'll ever see on your television is the kindest soul you'd ever meet. A model of a husband and father, and proof that some people are too good for this earth," wrote Charlotte Flair.

Chris Jericho wrote, "It's Saturday. You know what that means...Backstage in Mexico in 2015. Brodie was annoyed that he didn't have his own merch t-shirt, so one of the brothers got a bunch made in his honor. We all wore them in tribute to the dude, cause everybody loved him. Just a wonderful man!"

Dark Order member Stu Grayson wrote a tribute to Lee on Instagram.

"I can still hear Mr Brody Lee screaming, yelling and cursing at Dark Order and then the camera would stop rolling and Jon and all of us would immediately break in laughter with tears in our eyes having a hard time breathing because we were having so much fun. These are the only memories I have of Jon because it's just how it was when we were all together. I'm just so happy I met you so long ago. I will always miss you Jon. RIP"

John Cena also took to Instagram to share a photo.

Natalya tweeted several photos with the caption, "I am heartbroken to hear of the passing of @ThisBrodieLee who was a dear friend to so many of us. He was an amazing husband and a devoted father. His love for his family was immeasurable. I am sending prayers and love to Amanda, Brodie, Nolan, and Jon Huber's family"

Sammy Guevara wrote, "Heartbreaking is an understatement. This was taken during the Atlanta shows when we had to film a month of TV in 2 days. Brodie was so much fun to be around. Broken heart #RIPBrodieLee"
