MessageI never knew Shawn personally, but I certainly knew who he was. He's responsible for a lot of the technical fighting we see today. He may be gone but his coaching and training lives through every fighter he's worked with. So in that sense he'll live on forever. RIP Shawn, you'll be missed

MessageA role model for many. Didn't matter if you knew him for 10 years or 10 days. You knew right away you were in the presence of someone great. Without saying much, he showed his value by how he valued others. Shawn will be a legend, it's already started.

MessageI met Shawn a couple times, first at Xtreme Couture i dropped in to meet some pros and the famous Coach during a vaca weekend... He went out of his way from working with Erin Toughill to come talk to me about training and who was in the gym and things they have coming up, then to take pictures and sign stuff... since then i've met alot of fight industry people and "The Coach" stood out among them all of the most genuine, down to earth, respectful guy i've met. A true ambassador of the sport and a guy i'm very sad i never got to personally train with.

Sincere condolences to his family and loved ones. He will be missed.

MessageShawn,
You brought out the best in all of those around you, and Im not just talking about the gym. You had an infectious smile and deeply cared about those that you welcomed into your fold.

Thanks so much for all that you have done for my friends and helping them achieve success in MMA. You're passing has come way too soon and you will be missed.

Safe travels, my friend.

Jason

MessageI met Shawn working with the IFL. Over the years my wife and I would see him and developed a friendship with him. He was always such a selfless and kind person, often passing credit onto others and wishing everyone well. Elisabeth and I were happy to get to talk and hang out with Shawn at the UFC Fan Expo in Toronto. We made sure to give him some gear for his wife and for Mark's wife and new baby. I personally lost my father suddenly and I know what a horrible shock it is to a family. Just know this---to all of Team Tompkins----whatever successes you have going forward in life, will be a reflection and tribute to the teachings and memory of The Coach. God Bless Shawn---he just gained another soldier in heaven

MessageShawn, I'll always remember your smile, and your laugh. Both were truly unforgettable. Your determination and drive took you far beyond where most of us from small towns get to. I'm proud to say "I knew Shawn when..." The world will not be the same place without you. Peace to you and your families..know you touched many people, and we're all grateful to have gotten the chance to know you.

Emilie, you had a great guy in him. I'm so terribly sorry that he was taken from you so soon.
