| Message | We'll miss you Shawn. Thank you for spreading your love and knowledge to all of us. I recently saw the show "How Bruce Lee changed the world" and Shawn Tompkins was on there. I remember saying to myself, "Wow, this guy is very intelligent." Not just his knowledge, but the way he spoke. You could tell he loved the sport and the history. So again, thank you Shawn Tompkins, rest in peace. |

| Message | I met Shawn in Las Vegas at UFC 109 where he was training Mark Coleman. When I told himn I was from vancouver he got really excited and talked to us for like 10 minutes about MMA, Hockey etc. After Coleman's fight which he lost rather quickly he was walking with Mark to the backstage area. With the arena music playing and hundreds of people screaming when he got somewhat close to me I yelled SHAWN! no response. then CANADA! he heard me, and as upset as I'm sure he was about the fight, recognized me and gave me a wave and a smile. Classy man. Not a lot of people care enough to do those little things all the time when nobody is paying attention. He did, and to me thats the sign of a good person. All the fighters I met, coaches etc that week didn't care. I took pictures with guys who barely acknowledged my prescence. Guys who did it because they thought it was part of the job, Shawn did it because he enjoyed it, and I a, grateful I was able to meet him and share 10 minutes of day. My deepest sympathies. |

| Message | I just want Shawn and Em's Family to know how much I respected and liked Shawn. He and I had what considered a great relationship and I was honored to be at his wedding. The news has floored me. I can not explain my feelings but will attempt to do so in the next issue of Fighters Only Magazine.It was a blessing to know Shawn and I know we related to each other in many ways in everyday life not just MMA. As sad as I am that I will not have any more memories to be made with Shawn, I am very happy about the ones I do have. Gary |

| Message | It was good knowing you. When u first started in mma, i went to XC, where I met you, then i got lazy and stopped going. Eventually, i decided to give it another go and heard you were moving to tapout training center, and since i seen your work and coaching before, i too made the move in hopes to one day get coached by you. Well i never exactly got coached by you but you did always say hi or made small talk with me whenever our paths crossed. You and Team Tompkins brought life to gym and im glad i made the decision to go there, you will be missed coach, you were an inspiration. |
