I am sitting here now watching one of his shows and still get tears in my eyes. He was such a part of our family. We spoke of Steve everyday. Both of my boys thought they were Steve!!! They still do. We all just loved him so much and still do. He will always be remembered by myself and my family. God rest your soul Steve...may he also be with your family.

We have watched the show since it first came on tv. Nicky always said that he wanted to meet Steve and his family someday. We are so sorry that he is gone. May he rest in peace. Peace be with the family. I know it is hard i had lost my mom and dad when i was young.

Steve was the best thing on TV every Saturday morning and his passion for what he did made it all that more special to watch.
He always smiled no matter what, and loved everything and everyone around him.
Steve will always be close to our hearts.
RIP Steve.

Steve gilt auch heute noch als mein größtes Idol das was er zu Lebzeiten tat und immer noch bewegt zählt für mich dazu das ich ihn nie vergessen werde !
Trotzdem tut es mir ( sobald ich an Steve denke ) auch um Bindi sehr leid, denn sie muss jetzt leider ohne einen Vater aufwachsen der sie sehr lieb hatte.
Steve, ich werde dich nie vergessen ...

To Steve's family my sympathy. My husband passed away two years ago very suddenly. I didn't have small children like Steve left to Terri, Thank God for that. But it is still a void in my life, as my husband loved to watch Steve! He made a special effort to be at home when Steve's show was on....he was amazing! And as someone before me said, he died the way he lived. But it was such a shock to the world, because he was always soooo good to anything that he touched, even a little spider in his house, he would put on a piece of paper to take it outside. I know your children will be just as educated on wild life as your were.
We miss you. God Be With Your Family.

It's not often that someone has such a positive impact on the world. Steve did so much for wildlife,the legacy he left for his amazing wife Terri and his two beautiful children will continue to grow through them. It's just so sad that he was taken from them, the animals and us far to soon. Someday i hope to visit the australia zoo, just wish steve were there. I was fortunate enough to meet Terri at a book signing, she's an amazingly strong woman.

Sad doesn't even come close. Steve, Trrri and Bindy brcsmr INSTANT FRIENDS.I watch the ones that are here in the States and they don't hold a candle to our FRIENDS, nor can they.
There are people that come and go in our lives, but VERY FEW that leave footprints on our hearts and souls as ALL the Irwins did. The salvation of MANY species will take a huge hit, which started the day we ALL lost Our Deiend. I lost my son 4 yrs. 4 mos, ago, His father would not share the ashes and has sent them to New Jersey, which keeps me from moving on.
Blessed Be to Steve, who must be in a place far better than here. Blessed Be to Terri,Bindy and Bob. There will NEVER be snother Steve.

I just bought "Steve and Me" by Terri Irwin and reading that book brings me to tears at times. Steve was my own personal hero and I still miss him. The world will never be the same and has suffered a great loss

I used to watch his show since I was a kid, a part of my childhood and in my teens too, and in all that time, he was my Mentor! I always felt a conexion to him cos he was a lot like me: he felt real passion for science and animals, and he always loved animals that mostly of people find scary or repulsive like snakes or spiders. He had the same views and values about family and friends,about priorities, he loved to help people like me! and felt compassion and with their peers! an Everyting that he said, always, always was what I wanted to say...or what I was going to say, or was I thought to say, or what I had already said!...It was something Glorious! I was always agree with him! (in fact I don't remember to have ever said said so far "no, I'm not agree with that" when I heard any comment from him) It was something incredibly beautiful, because I always knew through him, how to act so things come out well, and how to explain myself better, and I had the certainty of knowing that when he said something, it was true!!!! So literally "I no longer couldn't make mistake" doing something that he did and went well...and that really made me feel a warm and cozy feeling, a deep feeling of joy, peace and safety of knowing that I was NOT alone, that there was someone out there who was like me! His cheerful and outgoing personality reminded of myself when I was a kid (as in my youth I was a little shy and fearful) Thanks to him I regained a good part of my own personality! So, yeah, in some way...he always was my inner-younger-me! ... but still, he always had SO MUCH better personality than mine!
When I saw his show I enjoyed a lot learning with him, not only about animals, but about life, about what to do in everyday life! because although for many people he was just "a TV celebrity" he was actually a common person. I chosed him as my mentor because he let me to do it, he approached us and showed us his daily lives, his tastes, his hobbies, his family and friends, his sad and happy moments, his reason of being that it was conservartion and caring of nature, his love for this world and all creatures living in it! In a time of my adolescence, I had some trouble, I had bad notes in school for some things (including some abusive classmates) and my parents didn't believed I had a trouble and just accused me of being lazy and stupid, they told me I disappointed them and they gave me back...But not my mentor! He was there, every time that I saw his show he was always there, with his warm and beautiful personality to tell me in his way "go on mate! you can do it!" ...or at leas I felt like that!

My family misses Steve every day. Our 6 year old son cried for days after his death. Steve Irwin is his hero. He watches something on Steve everyday. We have all his DVD's and we have Animal Planet shows on DVR. We plan to visit Australia in Dec of 2010 for Robert's birthday. Steve will always be in our hearts. It will almost be three years and it seems like yesterday when my husband woke me up to show me the headlines. I couldn't believe it and still can't. We miss him.

Dear Steve,
I can't believe you died almost three years ago - still feels like yesterday to me :-(
I have the greatest respect for you and your work, I love your show, your dedication and love for animals and your family. You were a wonderful person and you will never be forgotten! I know you died the way you would have wanted to die.
You left us your beautiful family, probably your children will walk into your footsteps some day :-)
I will never forget you, you were a true hero to me. There should be more people like you on this planet. Why did you have to die so early? It's so unfair. My love to your family. May you rest in peace, mate. Guide your family the way from above.
CROCS RULE!

I can only hope and pray that the Your family is recovering. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Steve was a good man, who loved his family dearly. You could see it with every show he made. My daughter Ariel is 13 now and studys every animal known to man. she can tell you what ever you want to know even prehistoric animals. Her favorite animal is the lizard and Crock family. She was raised on watching Steves shows ever since she can remember. She would watch no one but Steve. Her dream is to become a Marine Biologist. This is all thanks to Steve and your family. Thank you for touching our hearts and our family.
Yours Truely,
