Message	I met Shawn in 2000 in my hometown of Lockport, NY when I was judging fights on local cards there. Shawn would bring in his fighters & often-times have them drop split decisions to local fighters. With my scores being the lone honest calls for the legit victors. His fighters. And Shawn would always seek me out afterwards to thank me for being the judge who was brave enough to actually call it as I saw it rather than simply calling it for the the locals. That always meant a lot to me. I also judged one of Shawn's early pro kickboxing matches vs Amer Abdallah here in Western New York. Shawn put in an excellent effort & came up just a wee bit short, losing the bout. This time, the local fighter actually did enough to legitimately win & once again, afterward, Shawn sought me out & thanked me again for having integrity with my judging. He was a class act as well as being a terrific, passionate coach. He will be missed greatly.

Message	I first met Shawn when I moved to London in 2005, His Passion for Kickboxing and MMA really inspired me to hit the gym 4 days a week at the Team Tompkins gym on dundas. Skills that I will pass onto my children. I knew back then that Shawn was special, he had that energy that pushed people to do more than they thought they could do. Shawn taught me to live your dream and to not let anyone stop you from achieving it. Shawn lived his dream! I am Proud of all of your achievements Coach!! Thanks for bringing us along for the Ride.

Message	I have never met Shawn, personally, but only vicariously through my spouse, Christian, who knew Shawn for quite a few years in London. We were actually supposed to get together in a few weeks. This has saddened Christian deeply, and from what I have been told, Shawn was a great man who had nothing but absolute love and respect for everyone around him. My deepest sympathies go out to his wife, Emilie, his family and everyone who was the closest to Shawn. May he rest in Peace, and may his family continue to heal and stay strong. I am sure it is very heart warming for them to see how much everyone supports them through this difficult time and loved Shawn. My thoughts are with them all.
