"The only thing that stops us from doing the really cool things, is time."
Damn...
Zenith Who knew it meant literally...
And that is where I loose it every single time.
pretty sure they couldn't tell the difference from like and dislike from the tears
I read that comment just as he said it
it's like he already knew...
"The goal isn't to live on forever; it's to make something that does."---Monty Oum
wow
Khalid Henry Wait. At what time did he say that?
Sunset Blossom I just looked up one of his quotes online
Khalid Henry Thanks.
Sunset Blossom No problem
One little Rooster, his soul now at rest.
His legacy will live on, through what he did best.
Goodbye Monty, you will be greatly missed.
This comment made me burst into tears. Absolutely beautiful and creative as well *hugs*
amen
Wait what happened to Monty, IVE BEEN AWAY! TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED!
He passed away
Matthew Eschuk about two weeks ago he went to have a medical procedure and had a severe allergic reaction that brought him into a coma. On Sunday, he passed away. If you go to the RT website, Matt has a journal about it.
After I heard of Stan Lee's death I was reminded of Monty. Both created things that will continue to influence the lives of others even when their own lives are over. I find that so beautiful.
Same here..
Amazing
Both of them where the best creators in history. They brought so many things into the world. They brought in creations that would last for eternity. They brought excitement, thrills, tragedy, and more. But the one thing they brought that truly matters... is hope.
My they rest I thank both of them marvel and RWBY has breeding me happness
Those two were the ones I looked up to most in my life. I was a teenager when I started watching ruby. It was all the way up until vol 3 ended. I watched interviews and when there was a tribute to monty in vol 3 saying he passed, I was heartbroken
A man dies when he is forgotten.....Monty will always live in out hearts
true that.
assasinsjeff yes, yes he will
assasinsjeff you are right
amen
great comment
Thank you for everything, Monty. We love and miss you so much.
Did monty die
SASXSH4DOWZ FAN Yes, he died...sadly... As they say...., he's just not here right now
Love you Murderofbirds and Monty
SASXSH4DOWZ FAN have u been liveing under a rock?
Did Monty died because he’s old age or what happened
IT ISN'T FAIR. IT ISN'T FUCKING FAIR. People always speak highly of the deceased as having "appreciated life fully," but that cliche doesn't even come close to how much Monty Oum deserved to live! He was a high school dropout who, through sheer passion and desire to learn and create, saw his dreams become timeless animated products...
It isn't fucking fair.
The world is not fair......wanna help me destroy it?
*Hugs* I know, I know... Monty deserved to liv more than anyone, he had so much left to do. I guess we'll just have bite the sour apple. Although this apple is more bitter than sour... It isn't fair at all.
Hey man, I'm grieving with you here, more than you probably think I am. But I need to let you know something. Life isn't fair.You know that phrase, "Lifes a bitch."? It's true. Life doesn't care about you or me, or about anyone, no matter how much good they can do or have done. And because it doesn't care, bad things happen. The happy father with a new child gets called away to die in another continent. The loving wife is beat every day by a drunkard of a husband. The innocent rot in jail and the guilty continue their dirty work.
Life is a series of pains that continuously stab you in all the worst places. Life will beat you down until you can't move, and then some more to make sure you don't try again.
But you need to keep trying. When life hits you hard, hit it back harder. Scream and shout, kick and punch, whatever it takes keep moving forward. Life may not be fair, but we can be. That thing that RT asked of us? To do something creative and good for the world? Go out and do it, start making life fair. Change the rules of the game and beat life down until it realizes that we aren't stopping here. It can try and beat us down all it wants, but we will keep on moving.
i know what you mean man
MrDisgruntledGamer1 yes ^.^ we will blow it up :D
2:26 Monty: "There's a lot of destiny, really."
Pyrrha's last words: "Do you believe in destiny?"
Glad I'm not the only one who thought of that
Considering that he died before volume 3 was released, there is a good chance the tragedy in real life influenced the dialogue during the tragic moments of volume 3.
So yea, Remember, if someone says something about destiny, it's dead
*_and that means cinder dies, yaay_*
Dear goodness, I miss them both
in my heart hes not dead, hes just not here right now
This comment broke my heart.
Ditto.
that's deep
For real man R.I.P. Monty
He wasn't around a lot since 2015. And when he was he could only stay a short time in remembrance of him. Seems like he always had somewhere else to be, something new to be working on. Something important to do. And when he left, he didn't say goodbye to us. Instead, it was like he finished with saying, "Never say goodbye. If you don't say goodbye then you aren't really gone, you just aren't here right now."
"Very few people have the luxury of doing exactly what they wanna do as their job. There's never a day where I forget that."
Damn that hit hard.
Same :/
I wish I learned about him before he passed away...
Same
@@ColeConCon Yeah, I just got into RWBY this morning and I really want to watch it. Monty seemed like a great guy, I wish I was able to know him sooner.
Me too :(
Same
Me to i didnt know who monty was but that is just sad
Here's the thing that's really getting me. It's not even the sadness of it; I mean, YES, there's that. But there's something else, a bit harder to define.
Let me put it this way: think of the very idea of a Roosterteeth employee dying. What is that? Well, it's tragic, it's awful, it's a reminder that the universe can be cruel, in taking away one of these wonderfully talented and beloved people. It's wrong.
But the fact that this was _Monty_. It doesn't just feel sad, it doesn't just feel wrong, to me it just feels... incorrect. Like the universe made a typo. Like, how could it be _Monty_, you know? _Monty_ can't die, he's the indestructible King of Cool.
Because of this, Monty's death has rattled me deeply, beyond just sorrow. I feel like I can't trust my instincts anymore. Has anybody else been getting this feeling?
I will say this, though: it is truly sad. Monty was everything I wish I was: creative, unbelievably talented, laid back, wise, and one hell of a dancer.
I've seen a lot of people commenting "RIP Monty, we loved you," which is a sentiment I'd like to echo, but at the same time, there is another sentiment that I don't feel has been said enough. And so, that is what I will say instead:
Rest in Peace, Monty. You were fucking awesome.
I have not seen anyone else put it that way, and that was typed perfectly.
I felt the same way toward Paul Walker! man..
Aye, Monty was an awesome person.......that he was.
I agree wholeheartedly. I'm still having trouble really believing this is true. How can it be? Monty was and still is the best.
The universe does not make typos.
Monty did a signing at RTX the year that I went. He was really shy, but very charismatic. You could look at his smile and just think that everything in the entire world was okay, that nothing destructive or wrong was going on in the world, all from a look and a grin.
I remember my friend asking him "What do you like most about your work?"
Monty replied, very forward with his answer, "Being able to say that I made it, and the thing that I made, made someone at least the tiniest bit happy."
I'll never forget that.
This made me cry :,( R.I.P
Gosh that quote hit me right in the feels!! Thanks for making me cry again D: But seriously, RIP Monty.
this is makin me tear up.
Does anyone come back to watch this from time to time?
Just to remember what such an amazing guy he was?
Kurstles all the time. The 3 year a he had died.
yep, and everytime i cry
Yes.
Yeah.
Yeah. I just wish I’d gotten to meet him. He’s changed my life
I come back and watch this every year.
I remember seeing Monty across the room at a con once, I wanted to go up and say hi but my friends wanted to go somewhere else.
I just though, I'll see him again next year.
He's in a better place rip.
Your gonna make me cry.
I did the same thing with a family member once, still the only thing in my life I truly regret.
Dang...
If only.. if only we had a bit more time
Goodbye Rooster Teeth. Monty will always be remembered.
I just feeling lost in my life and I come back here trying to find some motivation again.
Sad to hear Rooster Teeth closing. But like you said, Monty will living in our memories.
Life is unfair. I feeling wasting my time everyday and he could not have one more day ever.
Anyway, Monty is my idol mentor as always. Time cannot take it from me.
Family lost their son. RT lost a beloved friend and colleague. Fans lost their idol. The world lost every other story, every other universe, and every other beloved character when this man died. All of you creative minds hear Monty out and start on that story, start on that project, start on that dream. Who knows, maybe those characters, those pieces of art, those dreams are instilled in someone else out there. Maybe they need it awakened in them as well. Maybe you're that torch that flame that fire that will some day inspire someone to start down the long road of life and make something worth while all over again. We lose so much more than a person when they die. We lose their minds, their hearts, their presence, their thoughts and their worlds trapped inside their head. The only thing that stopped Monty was his time. He didn't have enough but he sure as hell made it worth while.
"If you endeavor to achieve, it will happen given enough resolve. It may not be immediate, and often your greater dreams are 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
He knew it. He knew he wouldn't have enough time but that damn well didn't stop him. Look how much he has given us with the amount of time he was with us.
so beautifully said. thank you.
Forgetthereality Thank you
Forgetthereality don't forget someone lost their husband too.
Forgetthereality That was beautiful.
No kidding. Everyone forgets about Sheena. She damn near lost the most, if not the most.
Its weird, I never knew Monty and never followed him. But the news struck me really hard. I'm not one to cry over death even in family, but this one was different. Its like someone ripped a piece of my soul out of my body. That sounds cliche, but its the only way I can describe it. He shouldn't have gone. Too much was looking up for him after his incredibly hard work. It infuriates me to no end.
I honestly still tear up reading this.I doubt that will end anyttime soon.
i felt the same way, I didn't even meet him and i just felt torn to bits when i hear he passed, i was so damn heart broken cuz Hell i kinda looked up to his work, now i'll just take his words into mind and just focus on the things i write and the roles i play for my friend's project and really put myself to it and keep at it until it's done right, i might even have to start from scratch with part of my series i'm writing but hell I'll do it, I gotta move forward not take giant leaps back, i gotta do editing i gotta redo stories because the premise of it has the chance to be published i imagine, but i gotta put forth the determination to do it, And maybe Monty's words are what i needed, Everyone should listen to those words and put them to heart, have him live on in more ways than one
I felt the same way, I didn't know Monty personally either but the news just struck me hard. I'd like to think our souls just know we lost an important human being. It's so sad and truly heartbreaking that he's gone.
I felt the same. I didn't even watch RWBY and I was torn apart by the news of his passing.
I honestly felt the same way. I cried for a man i'd never once met and only really learned about these past few days after his passing. Hell it's not exactly easy to get me to truely cry either, but i did when i found out. But learning about him these past days has inspired me to look into the same career, and to try and get off my lazy arse and create. It really does suck how reality works the way it does. But i'd like to think that someday, i'll get to meet him. after all, he's not gone, just not here right now.
Monty isn't gone. He's just not here right now
He's on Remnet with Team RWBY and JNPR having tea.
@@animefan2454 He's having a tea with ozpin
Monty may be gone. But he still loves on. I Ruby. Weiss. Blake and Yang. In JNPR. Qrow. Ozcar. Even Salem and Cinder. Neo and Jaques. We see parts of him whenever they are on our screen.
And i find that amazing.
@@animefan2454 you mean team jnr
This really hits my feels yo
He's not gone, he's just inside a 14 year old boy's mind.
Would that 14 year old boy's name happen to be Oscar?
I hope so but in real life i wish so
FRISHR im 15?
FRISHR haha
OMG Did you just!? I love this fandom
Damn 3 years
We miss ya bud
Enter the noid I wish you weren't on hiatus
Yeahh :((((
almost 4.
Monty Oum was truly something else. He wasn’t just an animator or a creator. His creativity was really inspiring.
Enter the noid almost 5
Listening to the quotes Monty makes makes me feel as if he saw his death coming. So creepy to think of it like that
A lot of people are like that because death is inevitable.
It can happen at anytime and for anyone.
So they embrace it and just wait by enjoying the life they have left.
It's been 10 years exactly since his show premiered and I still miss him. We all do.
he was so cool
his death was truley an end to a generation. I miss those times
I was very late on the RWBY train but I want to personally thank you Monty for leaving behind such a great show. You were one of a kind and though you may not be here physically, your work is living proof that you're still here spiritually. RIP Monty
FireeStyle Late?
Buddy I did't care to watch rwby until the summer before vol. 3 and I began to freak out since its creator was gone earlier that year!
Mary Hannah wait i'm confused? are you agreeing with me or mad at me for my statement? lol
"The only thing that keeps us from doing really cool things is time"
Damn...
Damnn indeed, Baggins..
It's funny you bring that up because I always thought he was a workaholic for thinking that. And he was, the man was amazing, but I'm so glad that he truly believed he could use every second of his life to create, to beat time. I guess all men die but I think Monty beat time.
+Bilbo Baggins Makes me cry every time. What a genuine person.
But to do cool things we need time. Time is the inevitable fluid we must swim through to do great things. To have time is to have time to do cool things. But we don't have enough of it to swim through to get to the other side; the other side where are goals lie waiting. It evaporates in the unknown circumstances life makes us cross. Life is a mysterious force. But that never stops us from swimming.
+Bilbo Baggins +ShaDHP23 he is not like a jut said american dream..!!! he is a big artist of this millennium like miguel angel. he didnt make a super animation but the even the chapter is soo short but the drama and the inspiration wakeup all us like a light of every soul connected in that inspiration RWBY...!!! great artist dramaturg die son young ofmg..!!! left in half such creation..!!! hope hes soul go to a better place and if there is some thing like spirit guide his friend team to do what he wanted to do. why he just die T_T..!!! is it was a really accident? die for a allergy?
Monty didn't live in a different world than any of the rest of us live, he just saw the world he lived in differently.
Well said.
Derek Purvis And he saw a damn beautiful world.
Five years. Five years without you, but still feeling your presence in everything Rooster Teeth makes. Five years of the people who cared about you doing everything they could to ensure your legacy and make the things you created into everything you hoped they could be. Five years, and you continue to inspire us everyday, and will continue to do so forever.
We love you, Monty, and we miss you.
Ya I don't think they respect his creations at all. They never did tbh
I have a dream.
I'm going to pursue that dream with every fiber of my being.
I'm not going to stop just because other people think it can't be done.
I'm going to chase that dream every day as if it's my last chance.
That's how Monty lived, and that's how I will honor his memory.
I will keep moving forward.
This is the best comment I have read about him so far. Good luck and carry on man.
Nah
Narrow your dreams down, the younger the better. Be happy with a medium lifestyle and you'll find greater joy. You don't have to be on top to feel like you're on top.
Alex Queen Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll still wind up among the stars.
***** Dude. Just don't.
It took Monty's death to finally get the comments to be a little nice.
Even in death, Monty's doing amazing, impossible things.
Farewell Monty.
What are you talking about, this is breaking up the community.
rip in pece mounty um
As much as I criticized his work, I still loved the guy and everything he's done. Not once has he failed to bring a smile on my face. I'm still just saying to myself, "Of all people, why him?!" It's hard to wrap my head around. I never even got to meet the guy...
R.I.P. Monty
Damn, straight
Monty's death was actually a little ironic. He went into comatose due to his allergy to juniper, and Lie Ren, the ONE CHARACTER ON RWBY THAT HE VOICED, was a member of the team named after it. In fact, Lie Ren is the only member of that team to have a primary color that would have no connection to Juniper's color if you were to highlight the primary color of every member on team Juniper. Jaun: Blue, Nora: Magenta, Pyrrha: Crimson (Red), Ren... Green. His color is disconnected from the contact chain leading to Juniper Blue.
Contact with Juniper is what killed the hunter who couldn't contact Juniper.
And where was Ren's initial on team JNPR? At the end of it. Monty was at the end of Juniper, and Juniper was the end of him. Pretty scary stuff.
I remember when I first got word that Monty had passed away.
I was at my girlfriends for the day, and as we both don't sleep at night, we were asleep during the day. I randomly woke up about 2 hours into the nap, and checked my phone. There was a twitter notification. At first when I seen the icon in the notifications bar I was confused, as I have always, and still, have Twitter notifications turned off. I pulled down the bar, and seen the tweet from Rooster Teeth. "Monty Oum has passed away - (link)". I just sat there silent. with one or tears running down my face. My girlfriend must of felt that I had sat up and she woke up and asked me what was wrong, I just looked at her and said "Monty's dead". She sat up and put her arms around me for a while, and then went to ask her family not to disturb us for the rest of the day, because she knew how much RT meant to me. It was while she was out of the room that I just broke down crying, thankfully I was able to stop before she returned. My world is basically that girl and the internet. With her bring a RT fan, and everyone I follow on twitter, or the pages I like on Facebook all being RT related, the world was a much different place that day.
It was when I first seen the animation in Red vs Blue that I decided to get into the world of media, I dedicated what was left of my time in High School to everything related to it, and then went to a college to study Interactive Media, where I would learn 3D animation. It was in this course I met my beautiful girlfriend, and friends that I was closer to than any of my friends before. This September I go into my final year of University, where I'm still studying 3D modeling and Animation. This is what my future will be, all because of a warthog bursting through a wall.
Monty changed my future, and without him I would of just been a miserable teenager in High School. Now I'm doing something I love, with a girl that I love, and with friends I love.
Thank you Monty.
cringe
Dude. That was beautiful. I am proud of you.
I feel you and as long as we love Monty lives on in us all
Monty inspired me as well, thanks to him i'm learning programming because I just want to devote my life to making something like he did, that when someone watches it, or interacts with it, It can change their life. He was amazing in his job, it's sad we didn't know him personally.
Mr Chris plot twist: your girlfriend thought you were talking about her secret boyfriend Monty.
Knowing that Rooster Teeth is closing down this hits even more painful 😢😢
fr😔
Someone will definitely pick it up...
@@CircuitReborn website and app is shutting down on may 15th
All that i would like to tell you Monty today:
"Thanks . . . "
Daninations studios Not the time ;-;
Monty's death is one of those things that my mind always comes back to in those quiet moments. I was never a huge fan of him and never got to know about him well until after I became a huge fan of RWBY. RWBY was the first artistic work that ever resonated with me on a "this feels right" level. The action, the art style, the atmosphere, the world, it all was so perfect.
Because of that, Monty's death, as little as I knew him, was one of the few deaths that truly affected me. For me, I've been to my fair share of funerals. It seemed people just came and went. They lived and now they don't. With Monty, it's so much more complicated because of this legacy he left. Not a company, or money, but a CREATION. Something that continues to grow and flourish and change peoples' lives even after he's gone.
I don't know what to feel about it. It's beautiful, yet it's so tragic. So meaningless and yet so meaningful. I loved RWBY before, but now everytime I see it, I see a single man's dream become reality, who poured everything about himself as an artist into it, bringing joy and tears to people even as I'm watching it. It became so much more than just a really cool story.
This is why RWBY will always be special to me. I just wished it didn't have to be this way for it to happen, but that's the mystery of life. That's why I'm always so perplexed yet awed when I look back at RWBY and Monty's death - it's where despair and hope are so closely intertwined they almost blur into one, and you wouldn't have had such hope if it weren't for the despair.
This is the most beautiful TH-cam comment I've ever seen. I just randomly thought about Monty today, and came to this video thinking exactly what you said.
This is exactly how I feel
Here here...
best comment I've ever seen for him. we all miss him but his creation will keep him in our hearts despite how little we knew him.
This is fricking true and couldnt have said it better... you ma man
Monty Oum wasn't just a great man or a great influence. Monty Oum is a hero. He did not just say he enjoyed his work, or that he loved the creativity it brought with it. He watched the creativity it spawned, and was amazed at how it could simply explode with such ferocity. He encourages everyone to be creative in their own, unique way. To make something new in such a way that everyone is inspired. To give inspiration to those who are starting out, and encouragement to all to become an artist in their own way.
Monty Oum laid a foundation for flourishing creativity, and he wants to see it blossom into something beautiful. Monty Oum is an unsung hero, a powerful, encouraging influence, and one of the greatest men this world has ever been graced with.
He was no hero. Men like Chris Kyle are heroes not some animator. His work was good but don't water down the term which should only be attributed to our men and women in uniform
@chris078 shut the fuck up. Monty was a hero. Maybe he didn't serve and maybe he wasn't Americas greatest sniper but he changed lives. He shaped the lives of so many people. Coworkers, family, friends, and viewers. I looked back at this and cried because of how much he changed my life. The words of wisdom that he gave were astonishing. If you want to say shit like that, go somewhere else.
Chris078
Chris Kyle was a murderer, a mercenary. This man inspired thoughts that are priceless and gave sparks of innovation to people it may have saved. I'm no person to dictate who a hero is, but your opinion makes me consider those around me.
William Wood Men and women literally die for you and you're calling Mr. Oum a hero. I guarantee he wouldn't want you calling him that because probably respected our troops. I mean no disrespect to his memory at all
A hero isn't just someone that saves lives, it's also someone who makes a difference.
Always come back to this every year, miss you Monty. You brought so much joy, thank you.
Remember the end of season 10 of RvB? About not saying goodbye?
Monty never said goodbye. But that's a good thing. It doesn't mean he's gone. It just means He's just not here right now. We'll see him again someday. Until that day, just take his advice and;
Keep
Moving
Forward.
How the fuck will we see him again someday?
***** we will meet him when our time comes....
***** Don't be disheartened by other people's faith.
It is Hope.
That is all anyone has left, when another dies, and those he leaves behind are left to grieve.
I didn't know Monty myself - in fact, I am still relatively new to the whole of RT. But he was a good man. And people empathize with that loss. They feel for themselves, and for his family and friends. Everyone has felt the sting of losing someone close to them. Everyone can empathize. Because everyone else shares that hope - whether they be Christians, or Muslims, Hindu's, or Jews.
Even among Atheists, there is still that desperate, nagging twing of hope.
Hope that they are wrong. Hope that, against all logic and reason, what feels so terrible and so empty, is for him the start of something greater. You don't need to believe in a God, or Gods to take comfort in that. You don't need faith.
You only need Hope.
People say that where there is life, there is hope. I like to think the reverse is true.
from the bottom of my heart thank you my grandad died 5 weeks ago last monday from cancer and i just couldn't forget that fact everywhere i go the word cancer just seems to pop up and i saw him 2 weeks before christmas and he was asleep when i left so i didn't get to say goodbye thats the last time i saw him and i regret that fact and maybe now i can move forward with hope
fragged noob gaming ah man sorry to hear that :(. Both my Grandads died within two months of each other. One died after fighting it for two years and the other was cleared of it and in remission but ended up dying a few weeks later from a massive heart attack. Both were amazing people and great influences in my life and even now, nearly five years later, it doesn't feel like they've truly died. Small things like habits you picked up from them, food you'd eat at their home, the things you do that you used to do with them are what keep their memory alive. As long as you have those memories bud, then your grandad will never truly die. You still remember him, so he'll live on through you and your family and everyone who knew him :).
A human dies twice. Once when his body leaves us, and the second when his name is last said. Monty will live on in our hearts. Although he was behind the scenes, this hit me hard, purely because of how nice he was and how inspirational his words were. I never knew him, but I felt a connection regardless. I will miss him so much.
In that case NEVER stop talking about him
I hear ya bud
I never really watched rwby till after he died I actually found out watching a video where slyfox shouted out to give rt their best but when I heard it it still hit me hard cause I knew someone who did something so many people loved and that there were people that loved him had been gone from this world and the more I learned about him in the following days made it worse cause he is one of the few people in this world who was genuinely good
Heroes die but legends stay the same. Which one was Monty Oum?
In my opinion, he was just a man, a man the made very many people very happy.
A heroic legend. A legendary hero. The best.
Ahem, heroes never die.
Legends never die. He's alive in our hearts.
+Ethan Hughes WE DONT HAVE TIME FOR OVERWATCH REFERENCES
I love how despite this video coming out five years ago there is still new comments of people saying they miss him. Really shows how much of an impact he had on not only his friends, but on the community. He we live on in our memories, rest in peace Monty.
A community lives and a community remembers.
I came back 2021
His hope for our life to continue inspire other live on even after his death
Yep
The thing that gets me most about Monty's death, as someone who doesn't know him, is just that this guy was so full of ideas and forward movement and forward thinking and doing. It's hard to imagine things that he was creating or working on or thinking of being unfinished. That's a pity.
+OneOnOne1162 It's always the good people who die too soon
+Skystalker "Only the good die young"
i look at it like this, if youre going to pick some flowers. you pick the most beautiful ones
I can relate to him I have ideas that I can't make because I do not have the support or resources I need but at the end lf the day I keep going foward and thats a difference almost because his ideas can be made...but we have to keep moving forward and Monty Oum is a great inspiration
As a person who has never worked or met Monty, and has only known him at late 2015, I can't say I'm a fan much less a person who knows Monty. But I could tell that he was a person with a good and healthy mind, and passion and affections for his work. And that's truly respectable.
Every time I watch this.. It makes me want to be not only a better person, but try a little bit harder every day to make my life and others' lives the best it can be. You never really know how much someone means to you until they're gone, and it's still hard to believe this has happened, but as Monty would say himself, just keep moving forward.
We love you Monty, and we'll see you soon
Amen.
Agree with you 100%.
That's what Monty would've wanted.
Feel the same way. Lasting legacy for Monty- bringing so much joy and creative power to Roosterteeth and her fans- as well as creators out there young and old. May he rest in peace.
Absolutely. After watching this. I will do my best to make the world a better place.
The only thing that stops us from doing the really cool things, is time ❤
Miss and love you buddy. Everyday. Keep moving forward.
I miss this guy so much!😭
makes me realize im wasting time and not doing enough. people like him inspire us all to live harder
❤
It's nice to see bigger names remembering a legacy. He will live on as long as we remember him.
I can't draw or animate, but I have a heavy, resonant voice, love voice acting, and creative writing.
High time I start bringing things to life.
I hope to follow your example, Monty.
Godspeed
By kicking the bucket?
DomiNatoR DeUcE To soon sir, expect a wave of hate comments to rise.. Delete it if you want to live O.O
DomiNatoR DeUcE
I'd rather have you trolling than sincerely meaning what you just said.
MintyPanda Well it sorta true...
Love and miss you Monty. I'm just happy you weren't around to see the shut down of Rooster Teeth....RIP to you both.
im so happy he left his knowledge behind before his passing. all of these beatiful quotes he made, im so glad he was open about everything he learned about life.
Dylan Denson he left it with Shane
Of everyone on the staff to have to die, it's ironic that the one with the most drive, the biggest desire to live to the fullest, was the one who left. Maybe he knew it was his time. Maybe that's why he pushed so hard to do everything he possibly could have. Maybe that's why he loved his friends and life so much. Or maybe he was just an astounding person. Never say die, see ya later Monty.
He didn't die, he's just not here right now.
KingOfAnime247 no, he's worm food.
Burnie said it himself that Monty had a certain urgency to his work as if he know he had a very limited time.
+KingOfAnime247 no dude, he went into a coma and died like a few days ago.

Can we get this video to a million? For Monty?
August Sundin if we all clap hard enough Monty will rise from the grave and dance one more time!.. but no one will be there to see it.
i will personally get it to a million..
August Sundin Do we need a reason?
Gabe Speake Probably not. But... maybe.
Gabe Speake I'll help you there man so that'll be two million for Monty

Woah nice meme
***** many people loved him a lot of people cried. Go make a asshole comment on another video
Preston Collins He's trying to lighten the mood, he's not trying to hurt anyone.
I still watch this every day even though its been 6 months since Monty's passing.
Same here... And every single time I watch it, I still cry.
PTXRocks AJ Me too.
Likewise, as sad as it is I always find inspiration through Monty's words and image. Keep Moving Forwards friends
didn't he die from allergic reaction
+Vanessa Kimball every year of when Monty passed away I will watch this video again, I saw someone on Instagram comment on a Monty related photo that every year the day that Monty passed away it would be called "Monty day" so yeah I thought I would just share this with you and other people,people love Monty very very much and to prove it just commented that we should have our own day thing for Monty fans! So yeah
Great men walk our world
Geniuses in their field
We take for granted their great designs
Until Death's hand is yield
To some, to many, to all of us
We hide away our fears
But all must stand with open eyes
And let it rain our tears
We are men, we are not gods
We wither and we die
We leave behind our legacy
We never say goodbye
Goodbye, Monty
Well said
Great poem but you said goodbye after you said "we never say goodbye". I would have said i'll see you next time.
deman182 No the poem means we don't get to say goodbye while they're still alive
This poem is awesome. Peace to u dear monty, lest we figet of your great legacy. Dear go our hearts through and through.
"Don't say goodbye. I hate goodbyes."
It's been almost a decade and I still go back to this. He inspired me to not waste time and keep my eyes open. Please never forget mounty ♥️🙏🏽
Monty is a great loss not only for Rooster Teeth and the community, but also for animation as a whole. He brought some unique things to the table that nobody will be able to replicate. RWBY and its success is unprecedented for an original 3D animated series without the backing of a big time production studio or network speaks volumes for his talent as well as the loyalty of the RT community.
Without a doubt, Monty will be missed, but he is not truly gone. He will live on not only in his work, but also in each and every person he has touched and inspired throughout the years.
RWBY was the first American made anime that was allowed in Japan as an anime *****
Yes praise the Lord Jesus Christ
I still can't believe he's gone
D': Monty was an amazing Designer and An amazing Addition to the RT Cast for he to go in a shocking instance, I send my prayers out for Monty and his family and hope that he now lives a Happy and Artistic life in the RT house in the Sky... Monty you will be missed :(
Well said sir, well said.
This man, Monty Oum- he's one of a kind. Irreplaceable in every aspect imaginable. It's a rare thing for one to create so many things with their bare hands that, despite the fact that he was a pretty quiet person and didn't care to be in the spotlight all the time, you still knew there was something special about him. The things he accomplished on his own in the time he had were greater than what 10 people could accomplish in his lifetime. He had the gift to inspire literally millions. The things he created aren't simply flashy fight scenes and mindless action. They're pieces of him that will live on forever, and they're beautiful. We'll never stop missing you, Monty.
I could only show respect for this person by playing Red Like Roses at school during lunch. I cried a little when it actually played.
It still doesn't feel real... :(
rip monty we love u
I don't think I will get over this ever
Devon Harris It's kinda strange- usually when you see movies and CGI and animation in the media, you don't care much who made it, probably due to the fact that there's so many people involved that they all just kinda blend together. But when I saw Haloid, I was immediately googling his name and trying to find more of his work. He has that effect on people and it's just amazing.
I cried when they showed this video on the podcast, now seeing it a 3rd time I can't help but smile at how amazing and unique he was, it's rare to see people like Monty, his sense of humor was amazing, his animating and creativity was beyond anything I've ever seen, we lost an AMAZINGGG person way to soon.
We'll see you soon Mr. Monty Oum.
I bawled my eyes out when I saw this video on the podcast it was just so heart wrenching but given the short amount of time (not as short for some people such as those close to him) to grieve and think over the idea of this video....I smile with glee seeing how much awesome and such a badass he was and how much he accomplished with RT...he taught everyone at RT valuable things, and hopefully they will use those to properly seal his legacy at RT for as long as it goes...he inspired me to pick up breakdancing using DDR as a start to get an idea
I never knew the guy. But I felt a piece of me ripped out when I knew the creator of so many found memories of mine was gone. Monty may be gone, but his legacy will further the world in unimaginably beautiful places.
May I ask which podcast?
***** 309 this weeks monday
***** It was a special podcast they did on their website for everyone to watch when Monty passed away, It can be viewed here tho.
roosterteeth.com/podcast/episode.php?id=309
9 years or so later and I’m back here after the announcement that RT is shutting down. I hope they can continue with RWBY and any of their other projects that they still have left, and that any and all of the various staff and crew across RT can find new outlets and opportunities. RIP Monty and RIP RoosterTeeth.
RIP Monty Oum. We will miss you very much.
He is not dead, he is simply not on this earth
He passed away from an allergic reaction.
Frank Aldaco An allergic reaction to an anesthetic, during a routine medical proseigure. Fans raised over 100 Grand on the first day of the fund-raiser (Keep in mind the goal was 50,000), and by day three, easily over 221 Grand...
I feel like Monty was the only person at Rooster Teeth that didn't take his job for granted at one point or another, he was always working, always creating, and always doing his job. He genuinely loved what he was doing and that is why he worked so hard. That's why it just feels so wrong that he died, I can imagine Monty saying "Me, die, that doesn't sound like me, I'm too busy to die, their is a lot more work to be done here, and I know if I don't do it no one else will." RIP Monty we love you and you were an inspiration to all of us. If heaven is real, God just got an extremely productive angel, that probably works harder than he does.
I don't think anyone at RoosterTeeth take their jobs for granted. Read Monty's last journal, he talked about that ... roosterteeth.com/members/journal/entry.php?id=3286960
When people are hard at work, they often make it look easy. Doesn't mean it is.
Providing that God isn't some sadistic asshole that only sends people to heaven if they kiss his ass 24/7.

These words might not have been written by you, but they sure do express how i felt when I first heard the news. I've been living in denial the past few days, and i still am. Even as I'm typing this, tears are flowing down my face. But as you say, "The thing you gotta learn to, is essentially let go." It's not gonna be easy, but we will. Rest In Peace Monty. You'll live in our hearts and minds for everything that you were, and a great inspiration. Thank You for everything you've done. You sure as heck were awesome... The King Of Cool. I wish I could've met you. I aspire to be like you. I'll keep trying my best, and follow what you've said, "Never let anyone tell you that something is impossible.".
I'm gonna be makin a tribute video (I WANNA INCLUDE AS MANY OF HIS FANS AS POSSIBLE, thats the least i could do for those that don't know how to or don't have the time. It's gonna take awhile cuz i ain't very good at it but i want this to be my best video yet). Anyone who wants me to write anything for them can send me an email at :
reclaimer48@gmail.com
OR
reply to this comment(though idk if I'll get the notification, email's best)
(I might reply late as I have school, personal matters and well, probably also the time zone difference. I'm asian too, and i know that he has many fans on the other side of the planet as well.... so i hope you guys understand. )
The video will be uploaded to my channel(I will personally message anyone who wants me to message them when I upload it)
Zepth Sent you a message about it.
put me in
it thanks to Monty that I know what to be a game designer and has given a bunch of stuff to look at I am goanna miss him
Normally I wouldn't get involved in something. But this is something that means a lot.
So here I am getting involved.
I hope he knows he created something that helped others. Rest in peace Monty and thank you for giving us RWBY.
Boy: Mommy why do all the good people die?
Mom: well when you pick flowers which ones do you pick?
Boy: the prettiest ones
I never thought about that
WaW, me too, I never though of that.
damn that is deep
wow
+spear gaming Well, I'ma go in the corner and cry now. Thanks.
This is a fantastic tribute. He left quite an example: a challenge to rise up and be creative.
Couldn't have said it better myself.
And to pull out the Page keys from your keyboard because you have no use for them!
Seriously, he really did that.
BrickBuster2552 Also F1, Caps Lock and the Windows key, because hitting them by accident wouldn't just mean 1 unnecessary keystroke, it'd mean 2, and that's just far too inefficient
He was fun, creative, and smart.
He had lots to do, lots of things he wanted to do, and he had lots of things he was destined to do in the future.
Death shouldn't have taken him yet.
He was destined to change the world with his creativity.
But now The Great Amazing Incredible Monty Oum is entertaining the mass amounts of people in heaven. He will be missed by many. But he should be remembered for what he did, not the fact that he died. If you remember somebody for their actions they're influence will never disappear.
Farewell, good luck, and see you later
Monty.
*Crys* no more RWBY he was the one that created RWBY man ill miss him he was awesome some day I will go too his grave and pay my respects for the things hes done and created and for entertaining us all with his awesome bright intelligent ideas
fine
Danny Bonneville Man.. This isn't the time to be mean to people in the community. This is supposed to be a moment that brings all of us together. Please... For all of us in mourning, just stop. It's not the time nor the place for this. Thanks.
He wasn't destined to change the world. He already has changed it
What's the big deal? Steal a few innocents and sacrifice them to bind his soul into another body.
tbh life has been going down n down only for years and today suddenly i remembered his line, "watch things, just keep your eyes open".
"Not all stories have a happy ending." -yang. RIP Montey Oum.
Ohhh this story still going.....Someone like Monty is goddamn immortal.
I still don't know how he died

Was that first part a Sandlot quote?
Always come back to this video whenever I'm feeling down in life or need inspiration.
Yknow, i didnt personally know Monty or anything, hell im not even very big into RWBY or RvB for that matter, but for some reason i have an overwhelming sense of sadness about his passing. Maybe its because of how sudden it was, the guy was 33, right where he wanted to be, doing what he wanted to do with the people he loved and who loved him. Even though I, and probably a lot of other people watching thia video, didnt know him, we will still miss him. Keep him in your hearts Rooster Teeth.
(hugs)
I barely knew him, but i still feel sad about this.
Because he was a fellow human being, suffering through life like the rest of us.
(Hugs)
I love hugs...
Rest easy monty
(hugs)
It's because you're a decent person who can feel empathy for his family, friends, and those who have been touched by him.
I cried like a bitch when I heard what happened. I have watched only 2 episodes from RvB and RWBY, but the dedication that he had all the time...that was the reason that I respect him. I hope lots of people will continue his dedication, his talent.
I never knew Monty Oum. When he died you would've thought he was my brother I cried for hours. He lives in heaven now knowing his amazing worked pleased millions and many more to come. You'll live forever in our hearts. I wish we could bring him back I would give my life if it meant he could come back. We love and miss you Monty Oum.
And it's amazing it seemed like he knew it was going to happen and was ok with it.
I just can't stop watching this and crying
Andrew Saul remember he'd want you to keep going
Thanks emoteen011 I needed some support
Montey's death wasn't a loss but a symbol to inspire people to do what they want to do and let your mind succumb to freedom and life. We love you Montey!
+Delta Hanna (Delta24242423) he has know inspierd me to do more animation as a kid.. i looked up to him :D...... but when he died... i was sad..... :(............ we love you monty oum............
+Delta Hanna (Delta24242423) yup, live on to inspire others. we need to be as free as a bird to think and then deliver.
It’s hard to believe that it has been 5 years since we lost Monty.
I never knew who Monty Oum was before his passing, but after learning of him, I can say he was an incredible person. In this over-saturated and capitalized time we live in, where people aren't allowed to make it on their own anymore, he defied the odds.
This was a man who got his start just making fan animations. He started with something so simple. He was passionate about his art. He made it for himself because it was something he loved to do. He was the American dream. He succeeded with all odds against him.
Some will win and some will lose, but Monty Oum showed us that we can still win. We shouldn't fear failure. We should aspire to be all we can be, just like he did.
May you rest in peace, Master Oum. We will never forget you.
So did I, now whenever I watch RWBY I think of him
+ShaDHP23 Same here, he passed away and there was a blow up of rv and rwby pages. About him. I saw his work, then i slowly started learning about him, seeing him in old videos, podcasts, hearng from the others at Rooster Teeth.
I may have seen and learned about him while he wasnt here, but god do i love and admire him. He is the reason i do so much now and really i owe him a debt i could never pay.
+ShaDHP23 he is not like a jut said american dream..!!! he is a big artist of this millennium like miguel angel. he didnt make a super animation but the even the chapter is soo short but the drama and the inspiration wakeup all us like a light of every soul connected in that inspiration RWBY...!!! great artist dramaturg die son young ofmg..!!! left in half such creation..!!! hope hes soul go to a better place and if there is some thing like spirit guide his friend team to do what he wanted to do. why he just die T_T..!!! is it was a really accident? die for a allergy?
babu OO So ive heard. Allergic reaction during a simple medical prcedure. Went into comatose, died the day after i think.
That is correct.
"It's easy to forget to sleep when you're working on something cool" - Monty Oum, 1981 - 2015
So inspiring and so true. We'll miss you Monty. Rest in Peace.
I keep trying to find something deep and meaningful to say, but how could I possibly sum up how pivotal Monty has been in my own, and so many other peoples lives? I'll be honest, up until Monty's passing, I never knew much about him, heck, I'd never even seen any of his work outside of RvB. At first, Monty was just that guy who occasionally showed up in videos with really cool hair and clothes. But when I heard the news that he was no longer with us, I got curious. I delved into the world of RWBY, Haloid, and everything else even remotely connected to Monty. Since then, I've never looked back. The more I found out about Monty, the more he inspired me, the more heartbroken I was that he was gone. I never thought that someone I'd never met would have such a significant impact on my life. And yet, I sit here, two years later, about to start a course in Animation and Game Design, all because of this one incredible person. I was in a dark place two years ago, I was depressed, disenchanted, nothing seemed to be going right for me. But then, I started watching RWBY. For all its minor flaws, for all the problems it had early on, it got me through what was the worst part of my life. For that, I am eternally grateful. Its hard for me to look back and actually see any of these flaws myself. To me, its perfect. It was the one shining light in the darkness, and Monty was the one who lit it. If it wasn't for him, I have no idea what kind of place I would be in right now. And even though most of us never got to meet Monty... he was, and still is, an incredibly important person in all our lives. No words can describe how much I miss Monty, so I can't even begin to fathom how it feels to not only have lost such an amazing person, but for his family and friends; a friend, a brother, a husband and a son. It almost escapes belief that its already been two years. And even though so much has happened in these past years, Monty's legacy still burns bright, and it isn't about to go away any time soon. Because if even one person is still inspired by Monty Oum, he's never truly gone.
This is like that old saying; you never really know what you have until it's gone
Tim Powell. That was beautiful. I wish I could've met him, ever since I watched RWBY I've been writing my own series in Hope of it to one day be a success. And Monty Oum was one who inspired me.
R.I.P Monty, we haven't forgotten you 😭😭😭😭
Took ya two years to say that?
You know, I don’t think anyone would read this, but sometimes when I’m down, or have lost my way a bit I watch this video again, and I find the courage to figure it out and move forward. Thank you Monty, wherever you are, we miss you.
I used to do the same and seeing this again makes me remember why I like you got so much out of it. Monty was an absolute gem taken from us ALL way too soon.
Me too he was at the age of 33 we missed you monty you will always be best animator of all and he created rwby the popular anime influence show on the internet
You're not the only one buddy, sometime I just rewatch this video for the same reason. Monty is such an inspiration for all of us :)...
@@SamWrit3-R here too
@TheMexicanMoose- it’s a year later, and I’m right there with you. Ive seen this clip at least once a year since his passing. It’s crazy how life works sometimes. Always finding myself drawn to this clip
So I'm sick at the moment and feeling pretty crappy, but once I'm feeling a bit better, I think I'm going to get off my lazy ass and do some writing. I don't know how far I'm going to get, or how much I'll get down, but I'm not going to let myself get distracted like always. I'm going to really focus and see what I can put to paper when I put my all into it.
Thanks for everything, Monty. It may not be much, but I'm going to create something.
Yeah I feel the same. I tend to not tell what I'm going to do, because I end up not doing it anyway, but it's good to have some pressure.
How about I hit you up in a month or so, check up on your progress and share some of mine?
***** Hey who knows if you guys do keep sharing your work with each other and giving the other your honest opinion you may be able to create something really awesome and fantastic.
Create something that you're proud of man, and never stop.
I found an old unfinished story of mine and I dedicated it to monty and I am finishing it and going to try to publish it in Monty's honour.
Yo dude. I want to make some Machinima, and I need some writers. Interested?
I Can't. I just can't take that he's gone, even thought I've never meet him I can feel this pain... I'm just so envy of the people how knew him, even for a second. I'm too broken by this, I just can't take it...
don't worry he is dancing and sleeping and animeting and evryting up there.
I know... I just... feel like the world it's a little bit empty without him...
Also I'l never slap him for not ending Dead Fantasy series and then Hug him to deaath for creating RWBY...
in a few months we will be laughing again artgirl
Way I see it, he was dead for 13.7 billion years, then he was alive for 33 years, and now he's dead again. Be happy for those 33 years that he was around, not sad for the rest.
Well, thanks true... Kinda of... Thanks anyway.
I first heard of Monty when I was a small child. I watched dead fantasy. I knew I wanted to do that. As I grew up I didn't really keep track of the animator of Dead Fantasy until someone showed me RWBY. I watched it and loved it. It brought back my creative spark, it made me want to animate and create worlds that I never dreamt possible. Me and my friend watched the show together when one day I noticed he seemed depressed. I asked him what was wrong and I wished, hoped, prayed that he was wrong. He said "It's Monty.... He's... dead." It seemed so unreal when he told me. I didn't speak for months. I just sat there depressed. And then our school began teaching a animation class.
I was placed in the Class because I was curious. Two students helped teach it. One day one of them said "we're learning about some of the greatest animators" I naturally brushed this off. They showed the maker of Attack on Titan, Hanayo (Studio Ghibli) and many others. But the last one they showed was Monty.
I remember sitting in the classroom thinking to myself "Monty... If only you could see how far you've come."
I found out later that the teacher was actually against putting together a sideshow of the greats, but it was a student that changed his mind.
It was the same person who showed me RWBY.
Musical Ava Tell me, what do you think of RWBY's current direction? An honest question, and please, an honest answer in return.
@@joshuafogg6600 Not the original poster, but I think it's great. The only issue I have is the fight scenes now, they feel a bit slower in pace
CT-2617 Flare Me, I'm severely disappointed.
Joshua Fogg why’s that?
I really miss Mounty' Oum RvB fight scenes
I still watch this tribute from time to time. I was fortunate to get to meet him a few times RTX 13 weekend. One time specifically talking about public speaking. He said “wether it’s in front of 1 person or 5000 people, it’s really the same thing.” It stuck with me hard.
No wonder I've felt like crap all day today. It's the one year anniversary that we lost Monty. No joke, I've felt physically awful all day. I'm certain it's a coincidence but the timing is just awful. Hoping Monty is showing the angels how to bust sick moves right now.
It's funny how the subconscious works I had memories of this video coming back out of no where before I remember what date it was
we will never forget you
+TheStarToursTraveler I imagine him having an epic dance off with Michael Jackson

to me a person dies 3 times
1. when they die
2.when their buried
3.when their forgotten
don't worry monty you will never be forgotten r.i.p monty.
befitkhan 12 he'll live on in our hearts and stories

Thank you for that

Unsolved Paradox Awww so true
Don't make me cry man, I'm sitting hear with my dad man come on I'm t-t-tr-try to be manly here, tears are for girls.......... ah fuck it. It's really hard to sound sad on text so this is all I can do:😯😠😡😣😢😤😦😣😣😣😣😣😣 sorry if I accidentally make you laugh and if not accept this as me trying to cry because I'm sure as hell am now
He's not gone, he's just away coming up with more creative ideas which will take longer than a lifetime to be revealed so we will not see him for the rest of our life but trust me, he's still here
Everybody has their own way of coping. If it works for them, leave it be.
In many ways, Monty was the heart of Rooster Teeth.
To be honest. I didn't know much about Monty. But, after watching this tribute, that's I really regret. He seems like the greatest guy you could meet. And the thing about his creations is a HUGE inspiration to what I want to do in life. I'm gonna start watching more videos with him in it.
Goodbye, Monty. May God rest your soul.
Im in the exact same boat as you, i had heard other members of RT mention him and tell stories of good times but i dont think i had ever seen him in a video, but that doesnt mean we cant be sad, especially knowing the hard work he put in to make things a lot of people enjoy. A lot of things on this channel have cheered me up when ive needed it (including Monty's work) and it is a shame that i wasnt aware until now. May you rest in peace Monty and may your legacy live on forever!
It is all right to mourn over the passing of someone, whether you knew them in real life or over a screen. Monty has been one of the most influential people to ever work for Rooster Teeth. He was someone who inspired many of us, including myself. He was the reason I began animating. Years ago I one day dreamed to work with Monty, somehow, someway. As the journal stated "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." Creativity is what makes us excel as humans. You could cry over the loss of one of the greatest creative minds in Rooster Teeth, or you go out and achieve. R.I.P Monty Oum.
"My mother had a saying. She wasn't around a lot when I was a kid, and when she was she could only stay a short time. Seems like she always had somewhere else to be; something important to do. And when she left, she wouldn't say goodbye to me. Instead she always told me, never say goodbye. If you don't say goodbye then, you aren't really gone. You, just aren't here right now." -Carolina (RvB Season 10)
You'll see them later...
You know why Monty Oum will never be forgotten and his work treasured? to quote the The Twilight Zone S3 EP5 "As long as people talk about you, you're not really dead. As long as they speak your name, you continue. A legend doesn't die just because the man does." RIP Monty!
Nice words sarge.
The legend never dies.
Awesome words friends
Or by Banksy, "I mean, they say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time." And I get a strong feeling Monty's name won't be uttered for the last time for a long, long time.
"If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on is to never stop loving them. Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever."
I felt this quote was appropriate, seeing as its from "The Crow"
I haven’t been a fan of RWBY, and by extension Rooster Teeth, for very long, but it means so much to me. It helped me get through the hardest time of my life(so far), and I wanted to meet the person who created it. Finding out about Monty Oum’s death was heartbreaking for me, because I thought I’d never get a chance to thank him. But if you guys have taught me anything, it’s that just because someone’s dead, doesn’t mean they’re really gone for good. Monty lives on in his dream, which has become the dream of everyone who found it and stuck to it, no matter the reason. This way, Monty lives on in our hearts. (I just realized how corny this sounds but it’s true.) Thank you, Monty.
It just disgusts me that people could dislike this bideo
*video
+thedudeguy121 they dislike him dying
Then they should dislike the announcement not the tribute
Why would you go where everyone else goes?
Mainly just bots. Fake accounts created by a program to find a video as soon as its uploaded and dislike to hurt the channel.
R.I.P Monty. Now you're in Heaven and we are all your creations. Animate us with care.
Wtf
Keep it in church bro.
Alex Funes He's making a joke calling Monty god. Calm down.
Alex Funes rofl
Forget about the haters! Express your self
Why must I keep torturing myself with this. it's so beautiful, and I cry every time.
it burdens me just the same
Same here.... i watch it every couple months and it hits me just as hard every time.
Some how whenever im lost i find my self coming back to this and every time it reminds me of why I started. So thank you Monty From the bottom of my heart thank you for reminding me of why I should keep following my dream.
Rest In Peace Monty we Love you

gabriel green He had an allergic reaction to something in his doctor's office during a routine check up and as result sadly went into a coma and died 10 days later in his sleep.
This video has a 50% chance to motivate me, and a 50% chance to cripple me with depression.
DavidtheWavid And a 100% chance of being beautiful and bring you to tears
And a 100% chance of hitting you in the feels.
Leaning on crippling depression huh
We will still watch your content Monty

I can’t hear his voice without crying.
