I’m sad. He’s also a Whovian and guest started BBC America show after Doctor Who 50th Anniversary movie “Day of the Doctor”.

That was my first thought, this timeline is just the absolute worse. My Twitter feed was filled this morning with tributes to him; he touched a lot of folks lives. I loved watching his videos since he seemed to love his work so much, his enthusiasm was obvious and contagious. What a loss for all who knew him.

Whatever it was it was certainly a huge loss. My heart goes out to his loved ones.

That show was so fantastic, and Grant was a big part of why. He’s going to be missed very much, and I do indeed send my best thoughts to his family today.

I loved his builds on the show. Of course the best were spring-loaded long swinging sharp things and he was always surprised how violent and successful they were.

He lived the dream. RIP.
