Not exactly a traditional celebrity, but Monty Oum's death hit me really hard. He was someone I had looked up to for years for his talent and work ethic. I wanted to be like him, especially when RWBY came out. Millions of people were enjoying a world he created, and that's the one thing I've always wanted to do. His story made that seem feasible to me.
I was in complete disbelief when I saw the news that he'd been hospitalized. My jaw just dropped when I saw the original thread updated to say "RWBY creator Monty Oum passes away" :( He was so young.
