Attack On Gaming share their favourite Mounty Oum work to share their condolences.
Matt Ceo RT:
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.

Just had myself a cry over this. Of all of Roosterteeth I always looked up to him. An amazing creative talent matched by none. Honestly after reading first announcement it was obvious he was in a coma. I just couldn't have prepared myself for him never making the recovery. Too tragic. Far too young.
We lost a true one of kind talent...my condolences to his family and friends.
Monty, RIP.
At times like this I really do curse my inability to animate the dead. I've been following Oum's works since he began Dead Fantasy and fell in love with RWBY. His interviews were always great and he was a very funny and chill guy.
Rest in Peace, dude. You're missed by millions.
Indeed, very tragic. The Monty Memorial on google is really impressive and sometimes heartbreaking to read. He was loved by many. R.I.P
This hits me right in the heart. I would spend hours as a teenager watching and rewatching Dead Fantasy videos. It's sad to see someone with talent go so soon.
Same here. I'm tearing up on my side. I still watch Dead Fantasy over and over again all the time, particularly when trying to get to sleep, and have loved RWBY since the first Red trailer.
Such an awesome animator, he will be missed by many.
Condolences to his close friends and family.
RIP. A true loss, And he has been a huge inspiration to me for a long while now.

It is with great regret that I must inform you that our co-worker and our dear friend, Monty Oum, has had a medical emergency. He is currently hospitalized in critical care and it is not known if he will recover. He is receiving the best medical care possible and is surrounded by both family and friends who love him very much. While we wanted you to know as soon as possible, we also have the utmost respect for Monty's privacy and we hope you will understand and share in that respect.
this guy is a legend in my eyes everyone should go check out his videos from when he was young...These videos were posted on Gametrailers and went viral over there and he some how landed a deal with RoosterTeeth. Honestly one of the best at animation in movies

All made by him with limited resources when he was young....truly a talented guy #respect
*Sorry this is not a real response..just wanted it close to the top so people could see and know what he has done
In order to make it a response I will say...I agree Hope he gets well soon too :)
Get well soon.
BTW if I ever get sick - please support my gofunme page - oh wait - I'm in Europe. I don't need that..
Say what you want about our health care but at least it doesn't mean financial ruin
Why not?
We have a horrible health system here in the states. I feel it's almost our responsibility to voice as much, wherever applicable.
You kind of proved my point. Whats discussing it on a news boiler website for video games going to achieve. If you don't like it don't tell us, tell them.
And I do, by making it seen about anywhere applicable, like here.
It's hard to ignore something when it pops up in most elements of your everyday life, eh?
No. They say they have utmost respect for his privacy so if he pulls through its up to him to share.
Thing is, a serious injury is a wholly different thing than a current, persistent, condition.
Or to put it another way while being semi-douche: no, actually I wont go there. Just wish the guy well.
