Mrs. Irwin/Bindi
You both have my deepest condolences. Animals knew he wouldn't hurt them. I know the both of you will carry on his love of animals. If there is a web-site for donations to his Wildlife Warriors Fund, please mail me back with it and I will donate ok? I wish you both the best of luck.

I woke up on the morning of Sep.4 and turned on the news and caught the end of the newscasters saying someone well known for their TV show on Animal Planet had been killed. My first though was it had to be Steve or Jeff Corwin. I was praying it was neither though and that it was some mean joke. About ten minutes later they showed it on the news and I couldn't believe it.
My nephew came into town the weekend after. He was terribly sad aboutwhat happened to Steve too. When I asked him what he wants to do when he grows up, he said "I want to be like Steve." Steve will be missed and not forgotten. My site is: www(dot)IrwinFamily(dot)piczo(dot)com

"I must be dreaming..."
These are the words I spoke to myself, as I wiped my eyes. A restless and uncomfortable night's sleep had just ended. I was confused by the sound of a woman's voice that seemed to echo from the television in my dark room.
"Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin, has died after suffering a fatal sting-ray attack on Australian's coast."
I freeze. I tell myself to breathe. I blindly grope for the remote control that I know is somewhere in the folds of my blankets.
And I spend the next few hours trying to get information. Trying to convince myself that it's just a bad dream.
These are my memories of that awful morning, when I wept and waited for the sun to come up. I felt so alone, as I watched the clock tick by. You see, I didn't want to wake my mother too early. I knew she woud be scared by the sound of my voice.
"Mom - Steve Irwin's dead," I cried.
And we cried together.
In the early hours of that late-summer morning, my mother and I cried together through the distance of miles and telephone lines. And when we ended our conversation, I hung up the phone and knew that we were, at that moment, the unfortunate witnesses of loss.
How unashamed I am to admit my selfish feelings, as I still cry for what I will never have.
I want to see more of Steve.
I want to laugh with him, and smile with him, and feel warm when he appears on the television in my dark room.
But that will never be...
So, I must be dreaming.

To the late and Great Steve Irwin and his family.... When i was little i would get up every morning before shcool and sit down with my dogs and watch your show.. i would say "I'm gonna meet him and he's gonna be the sweetest person ever and when i grow up and become just like him he's gonna remeber me and say hey i was her hero and look how far she's come" That may never happen in reality but when i pray real hard I know that even though Steve has passed on he will always be there for every child,teen and adult that ever admired him...I sit here at 2:01 in the morning trying to find ...something that shows that he didn't hurt and is watching and guiding over all of us ..and then i see pictuers of Bindi,What a strong Child, I'm not that much older than her and i hope she takes on her fathers greatness to show the world that what Steve Irwin did was not in vain nor did he ever harm an animal but he did it to show the word once again that we need to help the animals and not use them for our own puposes.Mr.Irwin i truly will miss you and i may not be family and i may not be a frind but when it comes to loving you and everything you have done, I do "I love you" We'll miss you Steve and I just hope that one day i can be the greatest influence to somone like you have been to me.
It's your time to sit back and watch all the people you have influence take over...You will never be forgotten and you will never stopped being love by animals and humans alike.
Love from me to you ,

Steve may not be with us in body, but in spirit. Crikey, we'll miss him. We shall not mourn for him, but for the animals, for they have lost a best friend they could ever have. Rest in peace, Steve

Steve was my hero. I met him once when I was about 6 years old and I remember shaking his hand and then watching him feed a huge crocodile.I was captured by him. From that moment on, I knew this is where I belong. I belonged in Australia and I was gonna work at Australia Zoo. I still have that dream and I will always have that dream.Steve Irwin touched my life more than anyone and all I did was shake his hand.I miss him dearly and I cry every now and then but when I do cry, I tell myself "Stop.Steve wouldn't want me to be sad.We should celebrate his life,not mourn his death"He was and always will be my hero and I will carry my dream everywhere I go.Thank you,Steve, for giving me something to believe in and to dream about.

I was recently working in south-east asia when I heard about Steve Irwin. I remember watching steve on tv when I was young, and it inspired me, it gave me a path to tred in my life, and now Im work as a conservation biologist in Asia. This is such an important impact that he has had on the world, and he really reached out to people. I can only imagine how many others steve has inspired, and he will live on through their work, and in the work his beautiful family will continue. Thinking of you Terri, Bindi and Bob at christmas time.

To Terri Bindi and Bob. I know that you dont know me but I feel like I know you. Steve was my Role Model, my hero. I would give anything to be like him. He is the reason for the career I want to pursue. You and Steve always cared about animals and so do I. I have always felt closer to animal than I did to people. I know thats how he felt. Well, I hope that you know that you are in my thoughts and prayers and who knows, maybe someday I will get to meet you. Until then, Forever love- Heather Webb

You were the real life 'Superman'. You have left a legacy that Kings, Popes and Presidents can only dream of. Not bad for a Zoo Keeper from Beerwah. Your Father said it best, it's not just the world who has lost a friend (and the best conservationinst on the planet to boot), but the animals have lost the best mate they will ever have. My heart goes out to your family. You are the definition of a true aussie Champion. RIP Steve.

Steve was an incredible man,who gave all of himself to teach people around the world that these animals need our help and protection. He was an inspiration to millions of people and our tears for him travel around the world. He was greatly adored and he will be missed world wide by us all.
