The Passing of Monty Oum
 

@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.

This... this is just horrid news. My condolences go out to his wife and Rooster Teeth. This is unbelievable. :(

R.I.P Monty Oum... you will be greatly missed.

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):

Fuck me. He was only a year younger than I am.

Today is a sad day. :(

Tragic.

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.
