As the wrestling world continues to mourn the tragic loss of Brodie Lee at just 41 years of age, UK artist David Speed has paid his own stunning tribute to the former AEW TNT Champion with a phenomenal, poignant mural.

Taking to Twitter, Speed revealed what can only be described as a truly beautiful piece of art that perfectly captures the presence and aura of Jon Huber.

Grabbing the attention of many across the wrestling industry, this masterpiece has received plentiful praise from some of those who travelled the roads and shared the ring with Jon – whether that was as Brodie Lee in AEW and on the independent scene, or as Luke Harper during his years spent cracking skulls in WWE.

After becoming ill in October, Jon Huber sadly passed away on 26 December due to a non-COVID 19-related lung issue. In the days since then, the wrestling world and beyond has paid tribute to the wrestler Brodie Lee and to the husband, father and man that Jon Huber was – a man who clearly meant so much to so many.
