I actually wrote a sendoff to Monty on my website today. If you'd all like to read it, it's right here: http://www.fishandcherries.com/?p=776
I've had a bad streak of luck when it comes to losing people in my life and that I looked up to, so this doesn't come as big of a surprise to me as I would have hoped. Still, I'm going to do my best to follow his example and put as much devotion and effort into my creative projects as he did. Rest well, Monty. Your legacy will never die.

Gah, the YouTube one was fine for me, refreshed, and now it's marked as private.DanteRL said:
On RoosterTeeth.com though, they have it up on their main page for all, and they've said on Twitter that it's gonna be public:

When I first saw the announcement I didn't believe it at first. 33 is way too damn young. He will be missed very much by his family, friends, and fans. RWBY, if it continues and I think it will, simply not be the same without him. This man will always be one of my absolute favorite animators, and his work will always be incredible, I'm just sorry we won't get to see anymore of it.
I want to say something poignant right here but I honestly can't think of anything except that Monty wouldn't want us to grieve so much that we forget what he accomplished.
"I believe that the human spirit is indomitable. If you endeavor to achieve, it will happen given enough resolve. It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams is something you will not achieve within your own lifetime. The effort you put forth to anything transcends yourself, for there is no futility even in death." -Monty Oum 1981-2015
Rest in Peace Monty.

All the RT and RWBY blogs I follow are filled with memorials from fans and Staff alike. I couldn't go back to sleep after hearing the news so I binge-watched RWBY on netflix.
I wish everyone mourning the very best.

I always liked his animation style. Deeply western in nature and choreography, but overblown in an almost anime way. I liked RvB a lot solely because of how visually unique and exciting his animations were.
What a shame we won't be seeing any more new content of it, especially after he had an original series that revolved a lot around his style.

The idea of being in critical condition, let alone dying, from a medical accident just terrifies me to know end.
RIP Monty.
RIP Monty.
If you haven't already checked it out, you can find a video someone captured of the livescreen on YouTube. Just search for "RT Podcast 309". Matt, Burnie, Gus, and someone else I didn't recognize discussed memories of Monty and ended with a video honoring him.
It's such a tragedy that someone who made such an efficient use of their time had it cut so short. He really did bring about a lot of joy through his creations and my heart goes out to his family and friends.
One of Monty's blog posts which has been brought up really is inspirational. Someone might have already mentioned it but I'll quote it below;
"Can you match my resolve?
If so then you will succeed
