| As one of many RWBY fans, including this group, I must say. It was shocking to learn of his death. I never knew the man. But, nevertheless, he was a rare talent. For his work, starting with Dead Fantasy to RWBY -- I have this one hope: many people has been inspired by his work. May others take on his path; and do inspired work on their own. He was not just an animator. He was a creator of fictional worlds, that brought many people together. Monty died. But may his spirit live on. |

| I agree it won't be the same without him he was a very unique and talented person, however I hope he inspires other to take leaps of faith like he was able to do. RoosterTeeth may not be the same, but it does not mean it shouldn't grow to become better while Monty was there. I'm sure many of you have seen this, but here it is for those who haven't.

| Monty had a style that was very distinguishable from other animators. He will continue to live on through his family, friends, fans, and magnificent pieces of art. Rest in peace Roosterteeth's resident Asian Wanaziba said: I'm sure many of you have seen this, but here it is for those who haven't. Monty's Google Memorial That's pretty impressive. Times like these are when I'm proud to be a part of the RT community. Unfortunately it's uneditable right now but I hope the creator reopens it to the public soon. |
| Monty is an inspiration to me and I'm very grateful for his work. RIP Monty. |

| I have to say. When it comes to "celebrity deaths", I have never felt it more than this. It was a mixture of the speed at which it happened, plus the timing of it. To some degree, I've been feeling quite physically ill about it. (FYI - I was hating on the Patriots this weekend.) So, I got myself a double blow here. Of course, the news regarding Monty was far far more impacting. |

| Didn't know he died until today. RIP Mr. Oum. You will be greatly missed by the community. |

| One of the great animators has left the world :( hope he is at peace. |

| RIP Monty. You will be loved and missed for ages to come. |

| Just as KyuuAL said, I've never really felt a celebrity death hit as hard as Monty's. It was hard for me to pinpoint why this is the case at first, but after some time I think the answer came to me. As an art student, gamer, and anime fan, I had a tremendous amount of respect for him. When you hear what an extremely hard worker he is and how devoted Monty becomes to a project, you can't help but respect his resolve. How many people can honestly say they've devoted as much time to their craft as he has? Thrown 120% to their passion and their love. I can't even count how many times I've lost interest or given up to a project simply because it's gotten too hard or I just don't feel like working on it. Monty has achieved great success. Among so many other things, he's done something many of us artists and anime fans will only ever get to dream of; seeing his anime ideas come to life. After reading the blog post Ross O'Donovan (from Game Grumps) wrote about his friendship with Monty, it makes me question what I'm doing with my life. Why did I stop drawing? Why did I let "adulthood" get in the way of my old passions? Why do I keep making excuses? Not only was Monty a passionate person, he loved to see other people's passion. From what I understand, he was the kind of person that didn't just want to hear your ideas, but see your work until you could show him the final product. A person that didn't want to hear your excuses or see you stop. He would have believed in you, even if you didn't believe in yourself. It's been at least two years since I so much as touched a sketch book, but as of recently I've started drawing again. I want to sharpen my skills and even take it further than before. It's extremely unfortunate that it takes the death of someone I admire to return to my old love of art, but I'd rather resume my journey now than sit in a rut with Monty in my head asking me why I'm making excuses. Never forget to tell the ones you love how much you care about them before they're gone, and don't forget Monty's words: "Keep moving forward." |
