RIP Monty Oum — The RWBY creator would have been 45
Remembering Monty Oum, the visionary animator whose gaming‑inspired action work — Haloid, Dead Fantasy, Red vs. Blue, and RWBY — transformed online animation and influenced creators worldwide. His unmatched creativity, speed, and passion left a permanent mark on the gaming and animation community.
Tomorrow marks what would have been his 45th birthday. He tragically passed away in 2015 due to a severe allergic reaction during a medical procedure , but his legacy continues to inspire millions.
They say there’s no such thing as a perfect man… those people never met #TomKane.
I’ve never in my life met a sweeter soul or a better human being.
He and his wife raised three beautiful children, then opened their hearts and adopted six more. Six more. Imagine that.
Visiting their home brought everyone joy. It was pure magic… authenticity, warmth, acceptance, and a lot of #StarWars.
And his acting? Everything he did, he did to perfection, but never in a predictable way. Tom always found something deeper, more creative, more thoughtful, weird, fun & unique. Brilliant. Giving. Funny. Supportive. Kind. There was no one like HIM.
I’m beyond grateful for all the hours we spent together in the booth, and so grateful we got to see him again recently… hug him tight and tell him how much we love and miss him.
There will forever be a hole in my heart.
I love you, Professor. You were the best dad, the best human, and I feel so honored to have known you and called you my friend.
Until we meet again in the recording studio in the sky… 🩷💚🩵💔
‘The Powerpuff Girls’ creator Craig McCracken has posted a touching tribute to Tom Kane along with an illustration of Professor Utonium and Mr. Harriman:
“I grew up without a dad, so it was important to me that the girls had the best one I could give them and that was Tom.”
