MessageI'm sorry to hear about your loss. As a part of the MMA community I've grown to respect all of the hard work Shawn put in to his athletes. It's rare for a single trainer to be able to boast so many incredible athletes, likely because it takes such an incredible trainer. It's a devastating knock to our world, because, without a trainer of his calibur training fighters, we won't see the same talent level coming out, but that is a miniscule setback in opposition to what you (his family) must be going through. It's never easy to lose a loved one - especially when they are such a warm-hearted a kind person, but stay strong and always remember what an unbelievable gift you had in Shawn.

MessageI had a chance to meet Coach on the street in Montreal at a past UFC event. With scores of people stopping him every 10 feet to meet with him, his 10 minute walk from the resturant back to the hotel probably took 45 minutes. Every single person got geeted with a huge smile and a firm handshake. His humility and sincerity is what sets guys like Shawn and most the MMA community apart from other professional athletes. He will not only be missed by the fighters he trained into world class athletes but every fan who had the honor to meet him.
