MessageMy deepest sympathies to the family, friends and colleagues of Shawn Tompkins.

Shawn's contribution towards the sport of mixed martial arts was something I admired. He trained some of my all-time favorites.

Shawn's appearance on Sons of Anarchy was also a wonderful unexpected surprise.

I became an MMA fan during TUF Season 1, and shortly after I began training in traditional martial arts. I don't ever see myself as a competitive fighter. However, my ultimate goal is to become proficient enough to teach others. Shawn Tompkins set a very high standard in that regard.

Shawn passed away at such an early age, and yet he accomplished an amazing amount for being only 37.

Again, much respect for Shawn Tompkins. Condolences to the entire MMA community.

I always admired Shawn for his wealth of martial arts knowledge and always bringing his fighters in prepared. The sport has lost a true icon and one of the best trainers in a long time. Please know how many people Shawn touched and impacted

MessageShawn was an outstanding representative not only to the fighters he coached, but to the entire sport of MMA. Shawn was always willing to lend a hand, give advise, or help out in anyway needed.

Thank you Shawn for all you did, and for being my friend. To his new wife Emile, I am so sorry for you loss.

To Sam, Mark and Chris, your coach was one of a kind, no one will ever take his place, You all know that Shawn was much more than a coach. He was a mentor, a confidant and a person that told me many times how very proud he was of each of you, not only as fighters, but as men.

God Bless you Shawn. you were and will always be a special part of MMA. I will miss you.

MessageAfter an unsuccessful run as an MMA fighter, I started to find my niche as a striking coach and for the past few years I've told everyone I wanted to be the next Shawn Tompkins, professionally and personally. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family during this rough time. RIP Shawn, you will be greatly missed.

MessageTHE COACH will be missed. His legacy will live on through the people that he has influenced. I am fortunate to be one of those people. My father and I met Shawn over 2 years ago at the Paradise Warrior Retreat Seminar in Dana Point. We clicked right away and I was fortunate enough to be offered a chance to stay with Shawn and his wife, Emilie, while I learned from him in Vegas. I was brought to Vegas to train as a coach and not as fighter. Shawn understood that my passion was to be a coach and not a fighter. I learned so much on that trip and continued to learn from him after that trip.
I truly look look up to THE COACH as a mentor, teacher and friend. His coaching style is unlike no other and he is unlike no other. I hope that one day I can be where his legacy is.
THE COACH BELIEVED IN ME AND HELPED ME BELIEVE IN MYSELF!
Thank you COACH for being a major influence on me and helping me believe in myself. You helped me become the coach I am today. I will help continue your legacy by teaching others what you have taught me.
REST IN PEACE my friend, mentor and COACH!
My heart goes out to Emilie, Sam and all of TEAM TOMPKINS.
You Will Be Missed!
