Monty Oum has passed away due to complications of a simple and routine medical procedure. He has had an allergic reaction during this procedure, where he fell into a coma and later passed.

For those of you who don't know, Monty Oum was the creator of Haloid and Dead Fantasy. At the time of his death, he was employed by the online entertainment content company Rooster Teeth to create shows such as the widely-known Red Vs. Blue and the animated show RWBY.

I'm not sure why this is hitting me so hard. Maybe I do. I mean, I'm not driven to tears or anything, but I'm caught surprised by how many times in my mind I return to what has happened and to the empty hole left by Monty.

I'm a huge fan of Rooster Teeth and the content they produce. They're a very transparent company in terms of staff, so consumers get to see a lot of the staffs' lifestyles, habits, and demeanor. These are qualities required psychologically by individuals to get to know one another. We have received a small portion of that as an audience of how Monty really was, and it sort of explains why I felt a little bit like I "knew him" on some personal level, and why I felt like his loss was a loss suffered by everyone who knew him.

Well I don't follow RT at all, I did hear about this. It's a shame. He was my age to boot. An allergic reaction.. it's sad.

This has become a lot more saddening since having watched RWBY and finding out he directed it. I didn't really follow roosterteeth or red vs blue so I had no idea who he was or why he was all over tumblr.

For those who don't know, here's a tribute video to Monty that was released by Rooster Teeth.

Here's a less-than-safe-for-work video of Monty and his various screentime he's had.

A great man was lost...
