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.
