It is with great regret that I must inform you that our co-worker and our dear friend, Monty Oum, has had a medical emergency. He is currently hospitalized in critical care and it is not known if he will recover. He is receiving the best medical care possible and is surrounded by both family and friends who love him very much. While we wanted you to know as soon as possible, we also have the utmost respect for Monty's privacy and we hope you will understand and share in that respect.

Monty is a tremendous talent who has accomplished so much in his young life. He has an amazing creative ability and the drive to put it to use. That is a rare combination and we are proud to have shared in it. We expect that this news will be shocking to most of you and very difficult to process. It has been for many of us as well. Our hearts are with Monty, his wife Sheena and his brothers & sisters. They will need your good thoughts, your prayers, whatever kindness you have to offer.

A fund has been been established to assist Monty's family with his medical expenses. If you wish to show your support in that fashion, please visit this link.

We love you, Monty.

What does this mean for RWBY and Red vs Blue and all the other stuff he worked on?

It's one thing after another, first SEGA and now this. God Damnit.

I'm legitimately depressed by the fact that Monty Oum died.

I absolutely cannot accept this....

I don't care for Rooster Teeth at all but this must be hard for them. He was a great animator for sure.
