Oh. Well maybe the OP should be updated to make that clear as well, because it's ambiguous at the moment...erttheking said:
Ouch. To be honest I have no idea who this person is, but just given the date of birth it's clearly...
Well deaths are never happy events at the best of times, but this is just...
Wow.
Rest in peace Monty I know you're going keep being awesome wherever you. I'll remember to appreciate the awesome things I have and the awesome things you gave us.
Seriously!? Damn, that sucks. I may not have been a fan of RWBY or the later seasons of RvB but I could tell from what little I watched that Monty's animation work was phenomenal. My heart goes out to Rooster Teeth and his family. I hope they all are able to bounce back from this.
I know by now everybody else has said what I'm saying, but this is awful to hear... to see someomnne of such talent and imagination to go in something so random. My condolences to his familly.
RWBY and RvB marathon tonight.
I'm making it happen.
...Man, this is just awful, awful news.. he was such an aloof, but nice dude in podcasts and other content I'd seen/heard him in. Just damn it.. 33 is too fucking young.

I literally said; 'whoa'(woah?) when I saw the news. I was expecting this to be a similar case to Allison Theus's with her arm and the Extra Credits crew getting the call to action to get her arm all fixed, but this, holy shit.
Man had some skill for sure, remember being blown away by Haloid back in the day and whilst RWBY was mixed in places it was for all intents and purposes an independent anime production. He wasn't around for long but he did a lot in that time, a lot of people will miss him, most creators don't even get that much.
Hope the Rooster-teeth crew can carry on with RVB and RWBY without him, somebodies some big shoes to fill.

Saw this on another site thought people here might like to see it as well. Apparently from one of his old Deviantart journals, back from 2010.
"I continually hope that someday I'll get a chance to pass on everything I've learned. There hardly seems a moment considering living by my words only means having absolutely no time to say them. So at least I can take a moment in slight to utter in passing.
Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible.
I lived by that when it sparked in me the possiblity of achieving something despite everyone telling me it being impossible otherwise. People have always told me it's impossible, that it's been tried. If you know what I'm talking about then your already on your way. What I will say to you ignore those who've been defeated by what they call "experience." Keep going and don't let anyoen tell you otherwise.
I know this might sound familiar even, never give up etc. But it's how I live my life even currently as there still are more "experienced" people who will criticize that I'm doing it wrong. It's the human spirit that'll keep us alive. This rings true to the events of my life, when I started Haloid. I didn't do it because I wanted to get a job in games, or that I wanted to become famous, or what have you. I did it because I knew it could be done, and that the road to finishing it was imperfect and difficult. What finishing it yeilded me was only more steps on the path to pushing forward in what I believed in.
My life lacks much, I'm broke, my car is in horrible shape, my apartment is a mess, I spend 3 days in a row at the office regularly and sleep on the couch only when I need to. I'm helplessly antisocial. I see my girlfriend 3 times a year.
I come from an impoverished family of cambodian civil war refugees. It been a long journey between being so incredibly poor that I didn't have paper to draw on when I was little, to where I am now. It wouldn't have happened if I didn't dive headfirst and take a risk, and continually risk it all to keep going forward... Heh, success? They thought it was impossible
What is the greatest reward for living in such difficulty?..
I hope you see it someday too, Cause the world looks very different, when you're pushing yourself every second you've got."

Rooter Teeth will be live streaming their podcast on YouTube open to all tonight at 8:30 PM EST. It's highly likely that they'll be talking about Monty's passing.

That ... that is quite sad.
Rest in piece Monty, you'll be remembered greatly.
My thoughts and prayers go out to his family, friends, and the whole RT crew.
A damn shame.
When it comes to internet death, I haven't even got over the death of kitty0706, the creator of several populator G-Mod series. It really sucked, since he survived his cancer.
Anyway. I hope Rooster Teeth can stay strong in this time, and hopefully continue RWBY in one way.
