The Passing of Monty Oum

It truly is a tragedy to lose someone like him so soon.
Best wishes to family and friends.

I wasn't a fan of his work, but it still sucks to hear of his passing.

RIP Monty Oum, you will be missed by many.

Oh wow. I've only known his name, but this story still makes me sad. He was so young and I'm sure that he had so much he wanted to do in his life... I wish his family and friends all the best. May he rest in peace.

The good that came from this came from fans. There was a GoFundMe set up for his wife and family to handle medical expenses. 150 grand in two days.

I apologize for the double. This was just posted, it's The Know announcing his passing.

I was really hoping he'd pull though.

It's upsetting knowing he died at 33 years old. That's just horrible to even think about. Thank goodness for the people that donated during his family's time of need; it's never going to replace him but as long as people are creative his sprit will live on.

Public podcast tonight in memory of Monty.

Burnie Burns, one of the Founders of Rooster Teeth, has asked in lue of gifts or cards to the family you instead honor his memory by doing something creative. By creating something like Monty had always done. I'd like to second that.

This will be my final post in this thread. I also apologize for it being a double. Tonight Roosterteeth uploaded a tribute to Monty, and I think you all should watch it.
