I have finally figured out how to honor Monty Oum

The news of Monty’s passing hit me hard. I can’t even scroll through Monty’s tag without feeling tears bubbling up. They said that insted of flowers we should do something creative insted. I tried to figure out a way to do so. I can’t draw nor can I make music or other things that are considered creative. But then it hit me. I’ve always wanted to write a book and get it published. 

I know who the main character will be. I am not sure some of you will think this is a great idea but I’ve decided to name the main character of my book after Monty. I know some of you will hate me for this but he will even have his talent for animating as well.

Some of you may tell me that this is no way of honoring a man who brought so much to the RT community but I think this is the best way of doing so. 

Monty if you can read this from heaven then I will make sure this book is the greatest thing people have ever read don’t you worry.

This pain you feel – that deep, gut-wrenching, soul-searing emptiness – it’s natural. It’s okay. That sadness, that sense of loss even though you didn’t know someone personally, it’s okay to feel. I wish I could give you a hug.

We’ve all lost a mentor, a creator.

But Monty isn’t gone. He never will be. 

He is still a force to be reckoned with. There are no physical limitations holding him back anymore. 

Channel him through your work, and your support of one another.
