Shattering news of Discovery Channel's host Grant Imahara’s passing has shocked the whole world. The famous host is just 49 years old.

“We are heartbroken to hear this sad news about Grant. He was an important part of our Discovery family and a really wonderful man. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.”

In 2005, Grant Imahara rose to stardom in the hit show MythBusters. He was an effective host because of his Engineering background and many admired and was inspired by his display of expert knowledge. He studied Electrical Engineering and Robotics. In the show MythBusters, he handled (and busted) experiments relating to Robotics. In 2016, together with his MythBusters co-host Tory Belleci and Kari Byron created another show on Netflix called "White Rabbit Project". 

He also supports dozens of Charity works, no wonder how loved and appreciated his works are. Regrets and heartfelt tributes poured online, celebrating the life and contribution of Grant. 

I am a fan of this guy. Got my interest in Engineering because of his segment in Myth Busters. Practical, easy to understand and delivered humorously. I don't think any other host presenting Science would come close to how this guy delivered. RIP Grant, you really are a big loss in the industry.
