May he rest in peace, the legend who taught us how to make a rocket, blowgun, a brass knuckle and taught me basic chemistry and physics

Anyone just randomly checking this video in 2020 to remember all of those sweet memories that grant has given us?

[skippy]

This man got me into science and is one of the people that inspired me to study chemistry. When I first watched his videos I didn't even speak English and I basically learned it from him. My condolences to his friends and family. You'll be missed king of random

[Ace]

You were the one that got so many of us into science, you inspired us, made us curious, answered our questions, and you will never be forgotten

[tankable]

He was one of the reasons I started paying attention to YouTube in the first place. He made science and learning so interesting and fun. Was another great example to a whole generation of kids that it's not only cool to be smart, but could be really fun too!! You will be missed sir.

[ryancarpenter]

It’s taken me a year to decide what to say but i finally found some words that could describe how amazing you were.
You made me want to learn. I had tried so many of your projects and enjoyed every second of them. My dad loves to do them with me and when he died this is all I had left of him. You will always be missed but not forgotten. My dad would love to see you up in heaven. You were such a big inspiration to me. The greatest always go too soon. My love goes out to your whole family. I know what you are going through. You will always have a spot in my heart.
