@RoosterTeeth posted on twitter this morning the passing of Monty Oum. For those of you who don't know he was one of the creators of RWBY, and many other RT productions. As well has many other projects in and around RT Productions.
My thoughts and prayers go out to him, his wife, and everyone at Rooster Teeth. |

I heard about his conditions and I really hope he was going to make it. This just sucks now.

Here is what Matt had to say (as the RoosterTeeth site is down due to traffic):
Quote:
Our friend, inspiration and co-worker Monty Oum passed away yesterday afternoon at 4:34 PM surrounded by people who loved him very much. Ten days ago Monty suffered a severe allergic reaction during a simple medical procedure that left him in a coma. Although he fought bravely, his body was not able to recover. During his time in the hospital he was well cared for and never in pain at any time.
Monty is survived by his wife Sheena, his father Mony, his brothers Woody, Sey, Chivy and Neat, and his sisters Thea and Theary, as well as a countless number of fans and friends. We were so proud to be a part of his life and we will miss him greatly. Your generosity during the hours after the public statement on Friday will help his family deal with the costs of his care and his passing. You made an incredible difference during a difficult time and we cannot thank you enough. As for honoring Monty, we will do that in our own way. In lieu of flowers or gifts, we ask that you simply do something creative. Use your imagination to make the world a better place in any way that you can. If you know Monty like we do, then you know he would certainly be doing that if he were able to. Monty was 33 years old. We love you, Monty.

Damn. He was only 4-5 years older than me. Its always a sad day when an artist or entertainer dies. I hope his family finds the comfort they need in this time of sorrow. But we will do as asked and try to do something creative in his wake.

This is very sad news, he was far too young. Rest in peace Monty. Thoughts and prayers to his family and friends, I can't even imagine how difficult this must be for them.

This news is really sad, that is far too early for a man like that to go.
My regards go out to his family and friends.
