MY CHILDREN GREW UP WATCHING THE CROCODILE HUNTER! My oldest son,Tommy, is 17. He is very macho and never cries when he is upset or hurt. Tommy watched the Crocodile Hunter faithfully since he was 3-4 yrs old. When Tommy was asked at school "What do you want to be when you grow up?" He would shock the older children by saying a "herpetologist" or "paleontologist" He was only in first grade at the time. He caught snakes of various kinds, and lizards...How many were turned loose in my house! When he found out about Steve's death... Tommy cried. We all cried. We love Steve and his entire family. Through Steve, we learned about nature and how many species are endangered. Not only what creatures were endangered but why. I never knew I could learn to "admire" a crocodile or a snake! Thanks to Steve Irwin...my whole family is aware of the beauty and the wonders of nature whether or not it's venmous or "toothy!" Steve will forever be missed by the people all over the world, but he will never be forgotten. Terri, Bindie, and Bob... I know you will pick up the torch and continue Steve's work. We look forward to seeing that! God bless you Mates!

Steve was one of a kind. He made me respect the animals and the habitats that they live in. There were many times he cheered me up watching his show. I think he lifted a lot of people's spirits, not only for the animals, but for themselves. I give my love to his family and I pray that they will move on and continue to fight the battle that Steve started so many years ago. I will miss you Steve, Thanks for making me laugh and enjoy nature at the same time.

Dear Irwin Family,
Our love and prayers have been with you during this difficult time. We were so blessed to have your family as part of our daily lives on Animal Planet. I knew telling my boy's, Avery, 6 and Asher, 5 of Steves death would be very hard. They mourned and cried for days and kept vigil by the television as Animal Planet did such a wonder job celebrating Steve's life and work. You have all been a part of our family; teaching us, educating us, showing us beautiful places around the world, and my very favorite, sharing with us the birth of your beautiful daughter, Bindi Sue. My children have a love and understanding for wildlife that the Crocodile Hunter has instilled within them. Thank you again for sharing your lives with us, may your hearts and souls find peace.
All our love and support,
The Rudd family

I loved as my husband watching "The Crocodile" hunter on the animal plantet show. I was extremely afraid of snakes and all I wanted was for them to die,but Steve made me see it diffently. I now realize that these creatures were created and we are more of a threat to them then them to us. My prayers are with his wife Terri and his children and I will continue to pray for strength for them. We have truly lost a Hero in my book. God Bless, Your friends Jill and Tom Ingebetson.
