Shane Evan Tomlinson, 33, was one of the 49 people killed in the mass shooting at Pulse nightclub in Orlando on June 12, 2016. A talented singer and lead vocalist of local cover band Frequency, he had performed earlier that evening at the Blue Martini before going to Pulse.

Friends and family remember him for his voice, generosity and faith; his father Stephen Tomlinson said Shane had been singing since he was 18 months old and loved the Lord. The attack was carried out by 29-year-old Omar Mateen, who also died at the scene; investigators later described the shooting as both a terrorist act and a hate crime.

Lawsuits were filed afterward, including claims against Mateen’s employer over hiring practices.
