R.I.P. Monty Oum

Just a quick reminder to all campers to reply to characters' bio forms when they are no longer in use as characters to let us know that fact so we can keep the collection up to date, and also to reply in the Faceclaim, Who's Who, and Cabin lists so that we can work as efficiently as possible!

Thank you,

The Admin Team

Not sure how many of you know of this man and his works... but if you do or even if you don't...

"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.

Monty is survived by his wife Sheena, his father Mony, his brothers Woody, Sey, Chivy and Neat, and his sisters Thea and Theary, as well as a countless number of fans and friends. We were so proud to be a part of his life and we will miss him greatly.

Your generosity during the hours after the public statement on Friday will help his family deal with the costs of his care and his passing. You made an incredible difference during a difficult time and we cannot thank you enough.

As for honoring Monty, we will do that in our own way. In lieu of flowers or gifts, we ask that you simply do something creative. Use your imagination to make the world a better place in any way that you can. If you know Monty like we do, then you know he would certainly be doing that if he were able to.

Monty was 33 years old.

We love you, Monty."

My condolences go out to his family, friends, and co-workers. I never knew Monty personally, I only knew his work. But his creativity and inspiration is all I needed to know he was a great guy who will be remembered by many.

May you rest in peace, Monty.

In honor of Monty I drew a quick picture of Ruby Rose (RWBY character).

He was so young, too... There was nothing peaceful about his death and that sort of saddens me.

I still can't believe it. He will be dearly missed, and his memory will live on for a long time. I hope God is with his family during this hard time. I think your drawing is really kind, Lyss.
