Lynch looked back on her times with Huber and wrote, “He was beloved by all in the locker room and was an absolute blast to be around. He was an incredible friend who always made you laugh and talked me off the ledge when I was struggling more times than I could count.”

One of the most interesting things that we see in the tributes for Lee is that each of them talks about his love for his family. Lynch continued that trend as she said, “Of all the wonderful things about him, most importantly, he was the most loving and devoted husband and father.
