Steve has been an inspiration to everyone, and I think there are very few people who he hasn't made some sort of an impact upon. I will try to honor his memory by following his example and wishes as an individual to respect nature and all it's creatures.

I just want to say to Terri, Bindi, and Bob I am very very sorry for the loss you have suffered. When I found out he passed on I thought it was a cruel joke. Until I saw it on TV. It is nice to know that you all will be carrying on his legacy. May God be with you forever and just remember he is always watching over all of you!!! He will be missed by many!!

Growing up, I watched Steve from age 3 until now. I was away at a friend's house 3 hours from home when I found out just moments after it happened by a breaking news on comcast news. I started crying at the computer desk at midnight, waking up my friend. When she asked what was wrong, I stated, "I just lost my hero."
I called home the next morning and asked if they'd heard the news, and everyone at my house was very sad. I went home that day, and watched the Steve Irwin memorial marathon. I cried for a several weeks after the accident. Whenever I look at my leopard gecko, I think of the things I wanted to ask him. I want to be a heretologist when I get older, and was [seriously] planning on flying to Australia after high school to ask Steve questions and get information on herps and learn everything I need to know to be a dedicated herpetologist. I know that no one will ever be as dedicated as Steve was, but I want to help do what he did.
My condolences go out to Terri, Robert and Bindi. Steve was a great man, and of all people, he didn't deserve to have this happen to him and his family didn't deserve to lose him. The world is a sad place now that Steve is no longer with us. I still plan on flying to Australia and meeting with Terri and her children -- Hope they can teach me almost as much as Steve would have.
Steve you were a great man, the most dedicated heretologist I've ever seen, and a great father and husband to your children and wife. But most of all, you were a great hero to me.
Rest in Peace, Mate.
I love you.

Im doing a biography on steve and i came across this website.When i first saw on the news that a crocodile hunter has died i more happy than sad. i thought that steve irwin killed animals but when i realized he didnt i began looking into the matter. I found out he saved them. I Liked the idea of him so much that i decided i would do him for the project. Anyway i love steve but i HATE BINDI!!!! shes such a show off!

He was a funny guy who really cared for animals, his death is a great loss for all of them.
I'll miss the energy he brought to every show he ever made, I allways envied his enthusiasm about everything. No animal was too scary or gross for him. There should be more men like him. RIP matey

My whole family (and we are a big family) loved Steve. My own personal family all loved him tremendously. We watched him all the time and I was sooo saddened by his death. I cried many days and still cry when I watch him. I was in denial for a while, not believing he died.
I went to my mother's house that day and we both cried about him dying, so young and leaving such a beautiful family. My mother and my dad watched him all the time.
My mother died 3 weeks after steve's death and I will always remember how we both wept for Steve that day.
I personally will miss him because I believe he was an example for us all and a God sent for all the animals.
My heart goes out to his family and I am excited they are going to keep his legacy alive.
I bought the memorial on DVD and I love it, even if it makes me cry every time I watch it.

I am very sorry for your loss. I have experienced losses both anticipated and unexpected. When I was fifteen years old in my first year in high school, my mother died of melanoma at age 54 on Monday, December 6, 2004; we were anticipating the loss. As with me, I am sure your loss is emotionally stressful for you and your family.
Your grief may ebb and flow. It has been said that each of us has this well deep inside of us that can be filled to the brim with grief. Every time we cry, we empty out some of the well. But the well fills again. The level of sorrow in your well may lessen as time passes, but it will never run dry. There will always be birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and those days when the well seems to fill to its brim again. Allow yourself time to remember and mourn. It is part of your healing. Grief is a continuing journey.

You will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. Your kindness and compassion towards all animals showed in everything you did. You are a true "Wildlife Warrior" as you instilled in your children that same kindness and compassion and therefore your legacy goes on. Your family shows their willingness and fortitude to continue your work so you will always be with us. Thank you for being you! We will miss you.

Every year on New Year's Day, I make a collage to focus on the coming year and all the wonderful things it will bring. This year, there is a picture of Steve on my poster because to me, he is the epitome of passion, dedication, love, family, pride, joy and social responsibility. Hooray for Steve's life and the example it gives to us all of a life fully lived. Cheers,mate!

I send my deepest sympathies, as a fellow reptile nut myself he will be truly missed from the point of his family and all of his adoring fans. He was an inspiration to all and may his work be carried on through his friends and family.
As quoted by the man himself: " I believe that education is all about being excited about somthing. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message"

Four months after his death, I still cry over him. I religously watch his show every weekday at 6 o'clock just so I can see him one last time. He is the ONLY famous person who seemed truely genuine and had such a zest for life. You can just tell that he thought of family as important to him.
I certainly understand what Terri and Co. is going through, because I also lost my dad when I was 8 from Lupus. And you know, I think of Steve as my second dad almost. He is everything a man should strive to be and should be.
I love you Stevo, RIP!
