Monty Oum
October 15, 2015
RWBY and Red VS Blue,
Dead Fantasy and his own worlds.
A man who never stopped,
Until his heart beat died away.
Smiles turned to frowns,
Meg Turney speaking through tears.
My role model,
Is he really dead?
Thirty three years of life,
His birthday on November 22nd,
His death date on Febuary 1st.
A death come too soon.
The office fell silent,
The Rooster Teeth community in tears.
A still heart monitor in a room,
His family now devistated.
Nine months later,
Time has passed since he died.
So why do we continue to cry,
Even after all this time?
RWBY and Red VS Blue
Dead Fantasy and his own worlds.
All these things are here for us,
All because of Monty Oum.

It's been a while since I've thought about the death of Monty. God it still hurts to even think of those two words together. He died too young from something that shouldn't have happened. But we can not take back what has happened. We can only hope he is in a better place, silently judging the way Miles and Kerry have continued RWBY. Monty will continue to live on in our hearts and minds. The fans will continue to miss him until we ourselves die. But even then we will still miss. So it's been a while since I've thought of his death. But I'm glad it was your work that made me think of him and made me happy to think of him.
My piece is about an amazing man named Monty Oum.
10 months ago he had an allergic reaction during a medical procedure and fell into a coma. 10 days later, Feburary 1st, he passed away.
Monty created and helped with the shows RWBY, Red VS Blue, and Dead Fantasy. His creations mad so many people happy.
Monty worked for Rooster Teeth and was loved by his coworkers.
