My sincere condelences to the Irwin family. Steve Irwin was followed closely by myself, and my eldest son Jacob who is now 6, who absolutely adored him, and all he did with/for the wildlife. He now talks about wanting to be just like Steve, wanting to help animals, and study them. I would like to say one thing:
"It takes a an amazing person to be a good father and husband, but not only to his family, but his extended family, who for Steve, amounted to the wildlife all over the world"
"CRIKEY HE WILL BE MISSED".

I am saddened with Steve Irwin's sudden death. I wish the Irwin family and the AUstralia Zoo family peace and healing during this time.
When I saw my first episode of "THe Crocodile Hunter" I thought "this guy is insane!", but his "go for it" energy just drew me in. As I watched more episode i understood his mission and can feel his passion. I hope we all continue in Steve's spirit in taking care of this planet we live on.
Be at peace Steevo.

You taught us to save and respect animals. Tradgicaly you left with out us being able to say good-bye. The animals you saved are greving for you as much as we are for you. You helped so many animals now its our turn to help and pick up where you left off on your incredibal journey. God saw you where getting tired So he put his arms around you and wispered come with me With tearful eyes we watched you As we saw you pass away Although we love you deeply We could not make you stay Your golden heart stoped stopped beating Hard working hands at rest God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the best. We'll miss you.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Rarely does a man or woman make a global impact on people like Steve did. Just to see his face with the broad smile and his trademark "Cricky!!" was enough to brighten a bad day! He lit up the room whenever he entered. We will long miss you, but never forget you! Strength to you all in Christ.

I was deeply sadded to hear of the tragic accident that took the life of such a wonderful husband, father, and conservationist. No words can console the family, friends, and animals that Steve cherished so much. Here's a poem for Teri, Bindi, and Bob:
If Tears could Build a Stairway
If tears could build a stairway,
and memories a lane.
I would walk right up to Heaven,
and bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say "Goodbye".
You were gone before we knew it,
and God only knows why.
My heart still aches with sadness,
as my tears freely flow.
What it meant to love you,
No One can ever know.
But now I know you want me
to mourn for you no more.
To remember the happy times,
Life still has much in store
Since you will never be forgotten,
I pledge to you today-
A hollowed place within my heart,
is where you'll always stay.
GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU IRWIN FAMILY OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.

The world was blessed by having you in it. It will remain blessed by the two children you leave behind. People use the term "soul mate" when they don't even know what it means...Terri and Steve are an excellent example of what it really means...God bless his family. Steve...go fly!!!

I cannot express how sad I feel nor the grief I feel for the animals that have lost their champion. But mostly I cannot find the words to condole or comfort Terry,Bindi or Bob or Steve's father. Words are inadequate. He has inspired me to be a better person more than anyone! He has helped me approach my medical practice with enthusiasm and passion. I will never forget Steve nor this pain that I am feeling, Terry I love you for being the person you are. May God help you and your family thru this great hardship.

My heart goes out to Terri, Bindi and Bob. Bindi showed her father's remarkable character and spirit in her eulogy to him. I felt that I could see Steve shining through her. God bless all of Steve's family and friend's during this horribly tragic time. As Steve's father so rightly put it, the animals have lost the best friend they will ever have, but I feel that Steve's family will continue on in his footsteps. You are all in my prayers.

God Bless the Irwin Family. I am so sad about Steve. I loved him and wished everyday that I would meet him someday. I can't stop crying for him and his family. The memorial service was very special and I believe that Steve would be proud to know how much he was loved. Even though I am only twelve, I want to carry on your work as a wild life warrior. Goodbye Steve

I loved Steve Irwin because of his enthusiasm and love of wildlife. He risked alot going out there to teach everyone about these animals and died doing his job, what he loved to do best. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. Though we have all lost a hero, we gained a legend forever known as The Crocodile Hunter. My God bless Steve, Terri, Bindi, Bob, his father and his friends and co-workers who loved him dearly. Good-Bye Steve. We love you!

The memorial was a touching tribute to Steve. I was especially moved by Bindi's words about her father and the courage it must have taken for her to speak in front of a crowd.
Steve was an amazing person and although he is gone in body I'm sure he is with all of us in spirit. God bless and peace to the entire Irwin family.

The world was still and the animals cried the moment you left us. Terri & family, I know the road will be uphill, but he is still with you, every time you look in an animals eyes. Thank you for all you do for the countless voiceless animals, they need you as do we. Love to you all.
