My family is very sorry for your loss. You will always be in our prayers. The angels were calling on Steve for they had something for him to take care of up there in heaven. Steve will forever be remembered. And always remember he will be looking down on you..his family, smiling. A hero, a wonderful spirit.

When I hear the name "Steve Irwin" I not only think of a brave man but a contributor to animal research. He made me smile every time I would see a show of his. He was so optimistic and inspired many people. Steve Irwin was a great man and I bet he was an amazing father and husband as well. I can honestly say I never thought he would ever be harmed. I thought he was a more down to earth "Superman". He will be eternal in our hearts, and despite his absence his presence will be with us. Every time that I see a wild animal, visit a zoo, and or read a documentary about animals I will think of Steve Irwin. May he rest in peace. My deepest condolences to the Irwin family.

My deepest condolences to the family, Terry, Bindi, Bob and Grandpa Bob. I will never forget his spirit, kindness and soul for all the animals. His rescue of the two old crocs in East Timor was one of the most moving episodes I've ever seen. And Steven rescued them both. He is simply unique and will be missed all over the world.

My 8 year old Bryan, husband Andy and I would like to extend our deepest condolences to the Irwin family and all their friends. This was an unexpected, horrible accident which ended the life of Steve. We started watching the Croc Hunter many years ago. He and Terri are the originals. Hopefully, his tradition will continue and we will continue to see Terri and the children for many years to come. Bless you all and our hearts are going out to you.

My Heart is greatly saddened by the death of this great man. My 16 year old daughter, who wants to become a zoologist is saddened by the lose of someone who became her hero, and someone she is aspiring to become. My heart goes out to the family, but I know that Steve is watching us all and that we must keep his ideals alive.

My heart just goes out to Terri and the family!! I just loved watching Steve and was just crushed to learn of his death. I can't imagine enduring the loss of a husband that you love so much. I am so sorry for her and we will all miss Steve so much. He was really an exceptional man and the world will miss him so much! I will miss seeing my favorite show!

I would just like to thank the Irwin family for letting us celebrate Steve's life with them. My son and I were very moved by the show of love and support last night during the Memorial. I couldn't help to cry. Bindi you are one strong and brave little girl. Your daddy would be very proud of you. I hope that you will continue the making of your show on discovery kids and that your dad's dream will live on forever. My son now wants to become a Zoologist and wants to visit Austrial Zoo someday. From the Nolan Family Our hearts and prayers go out to Terri, Bindi Baby Bob, and the rest of Steve's family and friends

I am writing to express my heart felt sympathy and condolences to the family of Steve Irwin. My two sons Ethan age 4 and Jeff age 2 have been captivated by the world renowned crocodile hunter since the first moment they watch his show. Both of my sons have expressed that they wished God had not called him home. They says that he is an angel in heavan now looking out for all of the animals there. The world has lost a great role model for our children. Thank you to Terri, Bindi and Baby Bob for letting the world join in remembering Steve. God Bless.

Watched the MEMORIAL last night and I have to say I was very moved. When Terri and her children were shown I couldn't help but cry for them. Terri just looks so devastated. Bindi was amazing. She held herself with poise beyond her years. It was very touching and there is a large part of me that can't grasp the reality that this larger than life human being is not of this world any longer. Sure, he'll live on in rerun episodes but it still doesn't take away the fact that Steve Irwin is not with us anymore.
Again and again .. My heart goes out to Terri, Bindi, Baby Bob and Steve's family and friends. But rest assured that his legacy will still live on. God Bless each and everyone of you.

I had watched Steve since the very first episode he was on TV. I believe our planet was a better place with him in it. If we could all have just a small amount of the "Croc Hunter" in us, then our earth may not be in it's current state. Steve's passing is not just a loss to his friends and family but to all of us...whether we think so or not.

Terri, Bindi, Bob & Bob, there are no words to described the terrible loss that the world has had. Steven Irwin was a part of the everyone family a member if you will. Ever since the tragedy happen I have been very sad and constantly thinking of you Terri. I am so sorry this happened to your family, it was very unfair and untimely death. I am afraid that there are not words that can comfort you in this difficult time. I have been glued to my TV since the tragedy refusing to let him go. But sadly I know he is gone. I saw the memorial yesterday and Terri you broke my heart. I can share in your pain, although I have no idea of the magnitude that you are feeling it. Bindi you have the spirit of your father in you I couldn't help but to feel proud of you yesterday when you took center stage. Your father always wanted you and brother to take over and someday you will. Steve will be sorly missed. My deepest condolences.

Terri, I hope that you read this. Steve was alot like family to us. My granddaughter grew up with him and her and her granddaddy would laugh and say things like " Isn't she a beauty " or " By Crocki" She is Four years old and cried when she found out Steve had died. It broke our hearts.
You will be happy to know that we went fishing in a pond on Sunday the 17th of September and there was an alligator in the pond and we all starting speaking the language of Steve. Which brought tears to my eyes. I know God is watching over you and the children.
