Steve,
I often stop and have to take a painful deep breath at the realization that you are gone...
You were the most genuine, amazing, wonderful person and I cry inside to think of how hard this has to be for your family... you made such a difference in this world and touched so many...thank you Steve!Oh and We shared a birthday. I had always hoped to someday make it to the zoo as a celebratory trip! We will be making that dream trip someday still along with our two children! I hope I can share your enthusiasm and love for this planet with them as well!!!

Well Steve i'm so greatly sorrowed that you life was cut so short, you are my biggest life HERO & IDOL & strange as it might sound as I have never met you in person, I still suffered immense loss & pain at your passing. You truely were an angel & a saint on this earth & you'll be one of the greatest additions to heaven there has ever been. I'm sorry to say that I really struggle to watch any of the old croc hunter programs, as I find it too upsetting to see you, even though I know thats what you would want your fans to do & how wonderful it was to see you continuosly acting selflessly to help the wildlife of this earth. The only good side that I can find from your leaving this earth is that you are now with god & I know hes truely happy to have someone so special grace heavens gates. All my love for you & your beautiful family, now & for eternity, Tony Etherington.

Crickey I really do wish you were still were on this planet to teach the world's youth about wildlife. You were not afraid to let the world know you as you, and for that you earned respect. That respect will last a life time and longer. I promise to come visit your zoo some day and I never brake a promise. Steve you will be missed. CROC'S RULE !!!!! (and that will never change).

WOW, Steve you were an amazing person. You have inspired me to become a zoologist and to defend those who cannot speak. You were my teacher and idol and I'll never forget that. Steve you taught so much. You taught me how amazing the crocodiles really are, that they are not man eaters. They are just misunderstood and they will pay for human ignorance. That a counts for all are wildlife.You will always be remembered. CROC's RULE!!!!

Steve, you're the greatest guy I've ever known. You are the one who made me interested in wildlife, you are the one who made me believe in myself. You have changed my life, and I cannot thank you enough for that. I have started looking at the future from the day you died, and I just thank you greatly for that. I want to be a wildlife documentary maker when I grow up, and you said one can achieve everything when he/she believes in it... And I am so passionate. I want to do this. And you're helping me a lot. Thanks, Stevo. Thank you, thank you, thank you so much.

I still can't belive your gone. Steve you gave me hope and strength to want to save animals.
Before you died I told my mom one day when I was watching your show that I want to go over to your zoo and visit and watch on of your demonstrations. I still will go to visit your zoo . My mom was the one who broke the news to me and I said to her your joking and then I saw the news. I said I just lost the person I look up to the most. Steve you inspired me and it felt like I lost my best firend. A Day doesn't go by that I don't think of the stuff you taught me. We Miss you so much and your always going to be in my heart and thoughts. To steve's family my thoughts and prayers are with you and hope for the best for you.

Steve and Family,
I cannot believe that God took you from us way too soon. I am in love with crocs due only to you. When you, Terri and Wes were in Timor rescueing both a male and female croc is the day I fell in love with crocs. I still miss you so incredibly too much and cannot imagine how your family and friends make it through every day without you. My only hope is that I make it to heaven where you are, get the chance to meet you and get just a moment to tell you how much I have loved animals since birth, but you helped me take it to a much higher level and you are and will always be my HERO. With so much respect and love, may be rest in peace and know how much you have taught us all and we will indeed carry on your work. The words respect and love seem way too simple. But I don't believe there are words to express such a tremendous loss to the world of animals and the world of nature and yes to the people you meant the world to...like me...I cannot replace you as no one can replace you. Heaven has gained so much and earth has lost too much.

The morning I heard that Steve Irwin had died, I cried. I couldn't speak to anyone for a day or so, I was just in a terrible shock. For (then) eight years of my life, he had been my idol, exploding my flicker of love for animals into a fully explosive, burning passion for conservation. And he was gone. I wore black for a week in mourning, though I went into a tad bit of denial, hoping, praying he would come back.
Now it is approaching the 2nd anniversary of his death, and he has been my idol for ten years, and continues to be my idol. I still watch him on animal planet, and seeing him jerks tears from my eyes.
But the other night, I had this dream where Steve and I were talking, just talking about animals. I woke up with this broad grin on my face, and my parents said they could hear me talking to someone in my sleep, but I apparently never said his name.
I am determined to make Steve proud and to spark peoples' passion like he sparked mine.
All my love goes out to Bindi, Bob, Terri and the Australia Zoo team.

Bloody Hell, I'm A 15 Year Old Boy And I Still Cry Over Our Great Loss.
But I Am Not Crying Because Steve Is Gone. I Am Crying Because I Am So Happy That He Is Here With Me. Steve Has Given Me A New Lifestyle, A Better Character And A Fair Dinkum Ambition.
I Love Steve And Always Will And I Don't Care How Many People Say They're Steve's Biggest Fan, I Can Feel Him Inside Me. Heart Of A Lion And The Faith Of A Child. It's All Deep Down Inside Me.
I Believe I Can Help Conservation With All Animals.
Steve Lives In Many People But His Soul And Heart Are Inside Me!
I Love You Steve-o
