"We LOST A GENUIS...... WAY TOO SOON........... Our world would be better, had he survived another 30-40 years ! I Loved Zappos........... bought 20+ pairs of shoes from THEM........ Now, at 73, don't need more shoes........ BUT have told many people of my experiences ! Hoping Tony is RESTING IN PEACE."

"A total loss for the corporate world, he was a brilliant entrepreneur and CEO with a unique vision. May God give his friends and family strength and peace at this sad time. He will be greatly missed by all that knew and loved him."

"I didn’t know him directly all I know is I can remember the first day I called Zappos to buy some shoes, isn’t that wild? Why would you ever remember that. I was blown away and not only did I become a loyal customer after that but I started telling all my friends about the very unusual happy experience I had. It was that unusual. They were friendly , it felt like old school shopping when people still had the time to talk to you and we had a laugh . I believe it’s a big deal, every human kindness is a big deal. I have no idea how he managed to create a business were people are nice and helpful and at such a large scale, the man was a genius. RIP."
