He made an animatronic Child that he planned to take to children's hospitals to cheer up the patients. That's who we lost, a man who thinks like this. 😢

[@basicskellie]

Rest in peace man, you’ve filled so many lives with curiosity and knowledge and positivity ❤️

[@amyabay4826]

RIP Grant Imahara... thank you for all those entertaining mythbusters episodes.. brilliant man gone too soon..

[@sharpshotefx]

We'll miss you, Grant. You were an amazing role model.

[@naknampucha5236]

Who's here after hearing his death? :( Rest in Peace Grant. Hope you are in a better place now.

[@WTF-cw5cv]

Mate he's dead he couldn't be in a worse place. What does that even mean? Grow up.

[@JinsKookieJams]

@@WTF-cw5cv *Dude chill, what they said was meant to be in a good way, not a bad way. Don't worry.*

[@baileyrowe15]

WTF you can grow up. Death doesn’t mean the end, maybe in your head it does but whatever

[@harmless3449]

Grant was a was treasure and a testament to what an intelligent and passionate person can do with their skills. Such a nice guy too. We're gonna miss you, man.

[@JFLY78]

RIP Grant Imahara! Your amazing talents will be missed! 😢

[@austinleiva5782]

Rest in peace you beautiful nerd I loved watching Mythbusters and you were a huge part of that.

[@DankerTVTimeCapsule]

I hope he finally got his intentions into the model before his sad and sudden passing. I wonder why Disney haven't posted a tribute

[@thepokekid01]

I knew it was going to be Grant that made this when you said "Former Mythbusters Star"

[@Chuked]

RIP

[@imailedyouaboxofbees]

Three months ago?

[@Chuked]

Zovyn Rei yeah the comment was made 3 months ago are you ok

[@thepokekid01]

@@Chuked Honestly, pretty devastated. I consider the Myth Busters local celebrities, show was a big part of my childhood, and Grant was a nice guy. He worked with my mom in the past on a program for helping kids get into STEM programs. Still really shocked, I don't like to think about it too much, but I should. Seriously, Rest in Peace. Too many are dying this year.

[@GingerPrincessVlogs]

RIP Grant!!!!

[@justinbest9429]

Rip Grant, the impression you gave on mythbusters of a genuine, lovely guy was obviously true. You didn't deserve this. Life is cruel 😪

[@BeefSlimmington]

Rest easy Grant

[@CreArtStuff]

R.I.P. Grant Imahara one of the best people out there in the world 🙏

[@yica86]

RIP. He's in a better place now continuing to build robots and more baby yodas

[@ThatVideoGuyTom]

RIP Grant. Everything you touched was just incredible.

[@DomOnTheBeat]

*Aw :(* R.I.P dude. 🕊

[@keitha4768]

Now, they just need to 3D print a Mandolarion to protect this baby yoda.

[@davidin301]

Nah he needs to build IG-11. After all, he is his nurse droid

[@noidTV]

Buy one of those big chuck-e-cheese animatronics, take off the fur, change the programming around, slap some silver mandolorian armor on it and huzzah: you’ve got mando!

[@beefymcfrankie]

Rest in peace Grant...

[@kittymarch4203]

Rest In Peace :(

[@The_Devil_Himself]

I can't believe he's gone.

[@TimmyTangents]

Rest In Peace; a sad moment to lose one of your childhood heros

[@shai2137]

“These are the most creative cakes you’ll ever see” they obviously don’t know Yolanda from ‘how to cake it’.

[@DarthShande]

I’d do anything for him to start making them to order EDIT Like I’d pay a couple grand if I have to.

[@brandonsours6616]

Just saw this morning Grant had passed. 😢. Anyone know if he was able to complete and get to the children’s hospitals?

[@EthalaRide]

I hope there are people that can keep this developing project going in his honor.

[@jonnypayne598]

Rest in peace man. You will be sorely missed.

Now that i know it was Grant's work I can finally say I have a reason for Baby Yoda to be my favorite character. Rest in Paradise, sir. Thanks for the memories.

[@izmactavish]

Rest in peace Grant. You will be missed.

[@HTHammerYT]

I cant believe Grants gone. It breaks my heart hes gone so young. Such a brilliant person.

[@jadedapple3995]

OMG! Give me that baby. ❤ He's freaking talented.

[@Snipedog1978]

I hope the 3D prints are releaseable so others can pick up with his idea and build there own so they might be able to bring Yoda to cheer up others

[@maine904]

Rest up Grant.

[@charliebird5299]

The vegetarian in me at 1:49: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Also the HUMAN in me. Then again, I can't even eat chocolate bunnies at Easter or those horrible marshmallow peeps, so there you have it. 😂😂😂😂 In any case, I'm 62 and LOVE Baby Yoda! 😍😍😍 Dear God, do I need a PET or what!!! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@jackieec]

This is the way everyone, this is the way.

[@parkay3560]

RIP Grant. an amazing talent taken too soon. Mythbusters and Sulu in the fan made Star Trek. sadly gone :(

[@Ammon6]

Grant was something special

[@kathie9823]

I hope he left The Child to a loving person. As someone who spends a lot of time at a children's hospital, I know the kids would a visit from The Child. RIP Grant.

[@jeffburnham6611]

Instead of chicky nuggs, it should've been a frog lol. The world is a poorer place with the loss of such a kind, talented and gentle soul. RIP Grant Imahara.

[@mystikflight]

Some one should step up and keep this dream alive. You will be missed, a star wars and mob fan.
