Monty Oum
RWBY and Red VS Blue,
Dead Fantasy and his own worlds.
A man who never stopped,
Until his heart beat died away.
Smiles turned to frowns,
Meg Turney speaking through tears.
My role model,
Is he really dead?
Thirty three years of life,
His birthday on November 22nd,
His death date on Febuary 1st.
A death come too soon.
The office fell silent,
The Rooster Teeth community in tears.
A still heart monitor in a room,
His family now devistated.
Nine months later,
Time has passed since he died.
So why do we continue to cry,
Even after all this time?
RWBY and Red VS Blue
Dead Fantasy and his own worlds.
All these things are here for us,
All because of Monty Oum.
