Fans were equally sad over the news. "Thanks for being my robotics/Mythbusting inspiration since I was 8, taking time on twitter to congratulate me on joining the Mythbusters family or to just make me laugh," a fan said.

One other shared, "This hits me hard. I met him only once and thought he was terrific-but he really made Mythbusters for me and was one of the first Asian Americans both my kids regularly saw on screen. RIP Grant-you will be greatly missed."
