Another celebrity who has since spoken out on Combs’ untimely death is The Conners star Michael Fishman, who tweeted: “My deepest condolences, Combs was an inspiration.”
“Jessi Combs was the best. She pushed herself beyond conventional limits. She lived her life with a ferocity and bravery few will match. Tremendous amount we can learn from her. When we go, may we all go pursuing greatness,” he added.
I’m so so sad, Jessi Combs has been killed in a crash. She was a brilliant & too-notch builder, engineer, driver, fabricator, and science communicator, & strove everyday to encourage others by her prodigious example. She was also a colleague, and we are lesser for her absence.

My heart is so heavy, I will miss you my sister. #JessiCombs a true #Legend.”
“I am so, so sorry to hear this news. R.I.P. Jessi Combs. You were a hero to both men and women,” rocker Rikki Rockett added. “What a sweetheart you were!!!”

Happy to join the party, but hopefully not soon. Don’t invite anyone else we know for a while, ok?
