Monty Oum has passed on...

Hey y'all...

roosterteeth.com/members/journ…

so, after having an ok day at school, I go downstairs and see.... Something I couldn't believe: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmsAH2…

Monty Oum, of Roosterteeth... had passed away,

after watching it, I immediately went to the Roosterteeth SubReddit... After scrolling around and trying so hard not to cry... I saw this tweet from Monty's friend, Barbara Dunkleman:

Barbara Dunkelman (@bdunkelman) tweeted at 2:27pm - 2 Feb 15:

and I started sobbing. I couldn't help it. The floodgates just opened and I couldn't stop...

after a while (like 30 minutes) I stopped crying... And I started thinking...

I've come to realize: Monty's not dead.
now, before you say anything, I know he's actually dead. What I mean is that our memories of him, his DDR skills, his amazing artistry, his work ethics, his creations... That is how he's not dead. If we never forget him, he's never gonna die.

Monty, you were and are an example of what humans could become. You left this world too soon, but I know that you're waiting up there, wherever up there is... Saving a spot for the rest of us.

"Can you match my resolve?

If so then you will succeed

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."
