User blog:Zetarion/Mounty Oum's Passing & RWBY's Future

Sad news for all RWBY fans out here. Just received it this morning. As some of you may know, Monty Oum, the creator of the lovely web series RWBY, was in the hospital for quite some time. He had a long battle with a sickness he was suffering. Today on the RT homepage, they gave the fans some alarming news:

"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."

You can check the proof here & there. We don't know what this means for the Future of RWBY. There's supposed to be a third season. But with his death, its up-in-the-air at this point in time.

Let's take a moment and give our condolences to one of the greatest web animators ever known. Without him, we couldn't have used some of the great material he personally created to make up own articles.

Thank you Mounty Oum, you will be missed.......
