Oh, no…
That’s shocking, i wonder what happened That’s two former Mythbusters hosts that have passed away, the other being Jesse Combs last year in August.
This is incredibly sad news… He seemed like such a great guy.
i hate this timeline so much.
This is a cover story. He obviously invented a time machine to escape 2020!
Damn! He was such a fixture in the maker-movement. He will be missed.
I’m sad. He’s also a Whovian and guest started BBC America show after Doctor Who 50th Anniversary movie “Day of the Doctor”.
Press F to Respect 100%!
Other news reports indicate that it may have been an aneurism.
Oh no!
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.
This year just won’t quit sucking, will it?
RIP Grant, thanks for the entertainment and inspiration.
At least we’ll still have all the kids he inspired.
This news is such a bummer. Rest In Peace and thanks for all the great, intelligent entertainment.
2020 can F all the way off.
Dammit, I hate you, 2020.
