I would guess that around 90% of HN's US users have watched Mythbusters, and probably 30-40% of users from elsewhere - which might be half the people reading this post. If you don't know it, I'd totally recommend it - especially the ones with Grant in (S4-13?)

Anyway, I'm really sorry to hear this - seemed like a great guy and, as others have said, a fantastic role model.

HNers should also watch him as Hikaru Sulu in Star Trek Continues. It's a fan series that manages to perfectly recreate the original Star Trek, down to set lighting and acting style. It's truly a work of love.
