This bums me out.
Myth Busters took the torch of me being a child interested in science because of people like Bill Nye and graduated me into my teen years with a more "mature" version of the same kind of educational entertainment.

Considering what I do for a living (engineering) I'm really not sure where I'd be without these influences.

Far too young man, RIP.

He didn't influence me to gravitate to the STEM areas (I'm older than he was...), but I appreciated the fact that he was influencing others. God knows this country needs to bolster ranks in that area. He made being interested in science cool and his efforts will be missed...
