Grant Imahara STEAM Foundation:
RIP Grant. You are dearly missed.
Jamie was so sorry that even though he didn't say it, he was thinking about it years later and changed his entire approach to problems so it wouldn't happen again.
It was always amusing when you and Jamie built a robot to test a myth and if it failed, Grant would come in and re-engineer the whole thing and it would work.
I stood in line to meet Jaime, Adam, and Grant at Maker Faire, 2006. I just missed Adam, because he had to take Thing 1 or 2 to the bathroom. Jaime stared gruffly at me as I approached for my photo, and gave me a small nod, but Grant came right up to me, looked me in the eyes so kindly, shook my hand, asked my name - Gary - and said "It's really nice to meet you, Gary!" He said it so warmly and meaningfully that I was a little surprised. He made it seem like he was meeting someone special, instead of the other way around, and I was probably 30+ people back in line, so he'd already been through this dozens of times, and kept up the caring energy the whole time, and I'm sure he'd already been through years of that. Such a good dude.
I love how Adam lights up whenever Adam gets a chance to remenisce/ reflect on Grant. Seems like it instantly brings him to his happy space. That must be the best legacy to leave behind, when your loved ones immediately feel better just remembering you.
Grant is the only mythbuster I’ve been fortunate enough to met in person. I was maybe 14 or so at the time.
My Grant story. I was walking to get coffee in the Mission of San Francisco. Grant was walking towards me on the sidewalk. He was with a group of friends. I didn't immediately recognized but I knew he looked familiar. I was racking my brain trying to figure out how I knew him. He must have saw me looking a bit confused. He gave me this huge smile and a nod that communicated, "Yeah, I'm Grant"
That little choke every time Adam reminisces about Grant always gets me, it shows how dear he was to him. Also, talking about a vicious argument with Jamie but not taking the opportunity to throw shade or disrespect shows Adam's character. Their relationship always fascinates me.
Growing up it was so great to see Grant Imahara, a fellow Asian, on TV using his technical prowess and having so much fun working and Mythbusting with all of you. Definitely helped me solidify my own career path. Now, as a more-or-less fully-realized mechanical engineer, I look back and appreciate his representation all the more.
The image of N'Sync fanboying over Grant fills me with absolute delight 😊
God, I miss him. He was so much fun to watch as a kid growing up with Mythbusters.
I'm not one who gets broken up about celebrity deaths... I think everyone has different capacities for parasocial relationships... But Grant is the one that genuinely makes me sad when his name comes up. He seemed like such a good dude on every level, and everyone really seemed to love him. He left such a positive impression on the world and I hope I can leave the same positivity in my wake when I leave.
Grant Tory and Kari were the greatest trio of all time. Grant was such a beacon. From his first episode, he was a bright star who exuded a passion for everything he did. Such a tragedy. He was an amazing person in every way. You are lucky to have been a friend of his.
Grant and Kari were walk through DIA airport, some one was like “yo, myth busters!”. I look up, see Grant and Kari. I asked them if they could say Hi to my daughter who is into science and totally idolize you two. They were so awesome and nice and said “Hi Ariel, it’s Grant and Kari, glad you’re a fan, keep doing science!” My daughter was blown away.
"I was told his impression of me involves a lot of drumming on the table"
"I heard Grants impression of me involved a lot of drumming on tables." Yeah, I'd say it would be pretty spot on because even I didn't realize how much you do that until you mentioned this.
Grant had a light in him that came through in show. It was obvious he truly loved learning and loved the folks around him. He always brighten the screen when he was on.
Grant and Jesse Combs are some of the brightest modern minds taken too soon and the most wholesome people to boot
I vividly remember the day Grant Imahara’s death was announced and how horribly it hit me. A piece of my childhood as an Asian-American STEM-loving kid.
