Mythbusters  co-host Adam Savage also wrote : "I’m at a loss. No words. I’ve been part of two big families with Grant Imahara over the last 22 years. Grant was a truly brilliant engineer, artist and performer, but also just such a generous, easygoing, and gentle PERSON. Working with Grant was so much fun. I’ll miss my friend."

After graduating electrical engineering at the University of Southern California, Imaraha landed a job at Lucasfilm, where he worked for nine years and was involved in a number of blockbusters, including the Star Wars prequel trilogy, Jurassic Park, Terminator 3,  and The Matrix movies.
