Monty, I wish I had the chance to meet you. As I type this I've shed more than enough tears for you. I feel as if I've lost someone in my own family, and I don't know what to say.

You always seemed especially talented and special, I always wondered what other stories you had in mind other than rwby, I'm not sure we'll ever know now.

When I met Burnie at Rtx I told him about my love for film and art, saying roosterteeth in general kept me going during a hard time in my life a few years ago. I also told him that I wanted to go to an art school called Scad. He told me it was a good school and I should talk to Monty, he said something along the lines of we'd get along or we had a lot in common. It stuck with me. After meeting Burnie in person I immediately donated to Lazer Team. Those few moments I spent with Burnie really inspired me, and even though I couldn't find Monty at rtx I always figured maybe someday I could take him out for coffee or something like that- stupid things the fans always dream of doing.

After rtx Monty became a big inspiration for me, and I once again tried to pick up drawing, (wish I could animate.) I always looked forward to his silly animated vines with music, his cosplays. I still laugh over him trying Alpha Brain and then coming on the podcast.

He was truly an incredible person. I am going to continue being creative and inspired from him in my life, and I think the community should continue his cycle of creativity.

I'll be posting a comic or drawing soon in honor of Monty, my best wishes go to his wife and family. May Monty always be remembered as the brilliant special person he was.

You'll be missed, Monty.
