| Message | I only met "The Coach" once at the UFC fan expo in Boston. I hopped in front of a line where a bunch of people were taking pictures to try to meet "Stitch". Shawn was sitting next to him at the autograph table and didn't hesitate to ask me my name, shake my hand and give me an autograph. He didn't have to do that at all and the fact that he seemed so happy to meet me and take the time to talk to me for a minute still touches me to this day. It's a memory I'll treasure and I felt I needed to be shared in light of what has happened. I'm honored to have gotten to meet him and share a moment with him. |

| Message | Shawn's talents were obvious to anyone who watched the fighters he coached deliver results in the cage. His passing was far too soon for the talent that he brought to MMA. From his days as a fighter in UCC his greater skill set was brought to bear as a coach, who seemed to shine more outside of the cage than in. We will feel his absence in MMA for years to come. Our thoughts go out to his family and friends, for someone who was taken from all of us at far too young an age. |

| Message | Just a quick story about how amazing Shawn and Emilie are.....there was a smoker event at extreme couture a few years back and Shawn knew the owner at umac in Canada . He invited us there to fight at the smoker and stay with him at his house for the weekend. Shawn did not even know me and my partner but they took us in. Shawn, Emilie and their dog cowboy were the best hosts ever. I gotta say that it was one of the best weekends of my life. I was lucky enough to see him again at the Toronto ufc expo in Febuary. You will not be forgotten. |

Our girls, Angela and Renai loved training with Shawn when he started Tompkins Karate in Tillsonburg. Angie is now a second degree blackbelt instructor, he truely inspired her. Shawn will be greatly missed by all. A true dynamic person with great heart. We are sorry for your loss Emilie but know that even before Shawn became a huge name he was a good person. He will live in your heart and memory forever, may you find peace and comfort in that. |

| Message | I have known Shawn since he was a little boy, and followed his career like he was a part of my own family. He will be missed greatly by all that knew him and I am still in shock over this news. He will always be Tillsonburg's hometown hero. We carry him and you in our thoughts. It so hard to try and express the sadness that fills my heart that he's gone. I'm sure its worse for all of you, hope that somehow you can find sense in all of this by remembering he was on of the greats. I am sending my deepest condolences to all of his family, you are in my thoughts and prayers at the most saddest of times. |

| Message | I never even had the pleasure to meet the coach. And yet when I heard the news of this I broke down and cried. And still with every tribute link or every video I cry. A true ambassador of the sport one of the good guys. Taken from us all way too early. My heart goes out to his wife emilie and the family and all the fighters that have looked up to the coach for so many years. Stay strong guys. He's inside all of you. Rest in peace Shawn you will be missed by more than you could ever imagine. Ryan |
