Today we mourn the loss of Grant Imahara, and his brilliant animatronic work. His contribution to the Star Wars universe lives on through his work at Lucasfilm, ILM, THX, and many, others such as Galaxy Quest, The Matrix, and Jurassic Park. #501st #StarWars #BucketsOff pic.twitter.com/gQ7IvZf6HQ

I am stunned to learn of the death of Grant Imahara (former cohost of mythbusters). Well and truly saddened, dude always helped inspire me to strive further into engineering and with my electrical work. My heart goes out to everyone effected #ripGrantImahara pic.twitter.com/aw0fTXWeTN

I learned so much from Myth busters. His impact on igniting interest in the STEM fields won't be forgotten. You were taken too soon. Rest in Peace.

I never watched Mythbusters and I was still intimately familiar with his career. I personally knew him best as the creator of Geoff Peterson, the skeleton robot from the Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

I’m going to miss him. My heart goes out to his family.

This is terrible. Mythbusters brought so much fun and knowledge and passion for science to people and Grant's personality was such a huge part of that. Hard to believe.

Oh my gosh. This is terrible. Grant and the rest of the Mythbusters team provided me with countless hours of entertainment as a kid. I'm speechless.
Rest in peace Mr Imahara. My condolences to his family and friends.

Yet another sad loss 😢 condolences to @grantimahara’s family and friends pic.twitter.com/MUMjTNk9nZ

Years ago I had the opportunity to (briefly) meet #GrantImahara at an expo.

Those events are fast-paced and it’s difficult to connect with the media guests.

Even so, he was incredibly kind & radiated light. He was so present in the moment.

All my love to his friends and family pic.twitter.com/gtQAaiccV6

Rest easy Grant Imahara.
You will long be remembered as a brilliant engineer, mythbuster, battlebot champion and fellow buster. #rip #grantImahara #ghostbusters pic.twitter.com/5JwUnXrPin

Most are remembering him for Mythbusters and The Late Late Show but my personal memories with him were through @BattleBots as one of the most aggressive Middleweight drivers ever with Deadblow. He was also a judge last season.

Yet another incredible soul gone.

This makes me so sad! Mythbuster was one of my favorite shows! Grant fueled and sparked my interested in all things gadget & robotics. Also as an Asian-American, not used to seeing Asians on TV, his presence had a positive influences on how I saw myself.

Rest In Peace Grant!

I'm heartbroken. As an Asian American, Grant Imahara made me fall in love with science and made it cool to learn and that Asians can also be nerds without be chastised by others.
