Huber left behind his wife, Amanda Huber, and their children, Brodie and Nolan. His passing shocked the wrestling world and left fans heartbroken. Remembrances were shared around the world, including a touching long-form piece written by Amanda.

Jon Huber enjoyed an incredible career in professional wrestling. He made his name on the independent circuit for years, including work for Chikara and Ring of Honor. Jon joined WWE in 2012 and had a successful run that resulted in him winning the Intercontinental Championship. He was also a former NXT Tag Team Champion with Erick Rowan and won the SmackDown Tag Team Championship twice with three different partners.
