Steve was such a beautiful light force on this planet. He touched so many lives, my own included. I am still saddened that the world has lost such an awesome human being, although I know his spirit lives on. He was truly one of a kind and an inspiration to all. Terri, thank you for sharing more about Steve and your life together through your book. Although we have never met, I feel such a connection with you. My prayers for peace and comfort will continue for you and your family. God bless you.

I grew up watching The Crocodile Hunter, and about 5 years ago, while I watching one of his live shows, I suddenly realized what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, and that was to go to Australia and get a job at the Australia Zoo. It was my dream to work with Steve, sadly I won't get that chance now, but there is still Terri, Bindi, and Bob. Steve was my hero and I still can't quite believe that he is gone, but he really touched my heart, and my dream is still to go and get a job at Australia Zoo. We still miss you mate!

I did not know Steve Irwin nor any of his family nor had I watched much of his show (I don't have cable) but whenever I saw him on the TV (or watched the video I own 'The Crocodile Hunter Captured On Camera') I watched with great interest and was always fascinated and blown away by his sheer enthusiasm, passion and love for what he was doing. Ever since I can remember I have loved and feared Nature and all the creatures she has given birth to but never had the courage, and always full of fear and too self-conscious, to follow my dream of becoming a naturalist/conservationist. Some people are true to their core being and have respect for their surroundings; Steve Irwin was one of those people. He was loved by so many around the world because he had an honest spirit that glowed when you saw him and he touched so many with his giving nature and willingness to share his joy and happiness. Also, maybe, through some fear in the back of his mind that if he did not do his part to help save the world he cherished from ignorance and misunderstanding that world might disappear forever. He may have been musunderstood at times (feeding the croc with Bindi on his shoulders or being called an adrenaline junky-not a bad thing) but he understood the risks of his work and was a genuine human being giving more than he took from the world; a free spirit of the Natural world returned to Mother Natures embrace with love and respect. I only hope there are a host of children around the world who watched Steve with eyes and mouths wide open in awe as they laughed and learned that it is okay to be yourself and to love & respect the natural world and to be active in it. We are not separate from nature but a part of a system that may break down and fall apart at our hands or may just grind us down and use us as fertilizer to grow a new species more respectful of Mother Nature and a part of the cycle of life. Either way we are here now and must see with open eyes the needless pain we are causing the world on behalf of our selfish wants and so-called needs. A wise Native Elder Chief once said "The Earth does not belong to us, we belong to the Earth". This so-called modern, advanced society does not see with its heart but with a cold, hard, almost scientific mind that wants to conquer and rule the Earth and every living thing on it in order to buy and sell it to make a profit. We don't want to admit life is fragile and can be taken away at any moment and that there is a thing called death that is as natural as birth and as inevitable. Do as Steve Irwin did; be passionate and live, love, give, share and protect while you are here on this beautiful blue, green and brown planet called Earth. Indiffernce and selfishness are the bane of truth, friendship and respect.

I only ever knew him from the handful of TV shows I saw and from articles in the paper about his work, but that was enough. His zest for life and enthusiasm for all creatures continues to amaze me, even now that he has gone on to keep catching crocs in a better place. Like Steve, I would like to work for a world where everyone can respect animals and the wildlands that seem t be disappearing so quickly these days. As long as there are people who care, his work and his memory will live on.

Just watched some Crocodile Hunter episodes and felt really sad that this dynamic individual is no longer here. It is now over 16 months since Steve died..and the the loss this great TV presenter and animal welfare activist still seems unreal. Thanks for this site- it is important to acknowledge this man's great work and contribution.

Since I was a little kid I've been watching Steve on TV and I have always felt a strong pull towards him. I cried for weeks after hearing of his passing and send my prayers to his family and friends whom he held so dear. I just finished Steve and Me and it was wonderfully written. I had not heard of a book being released but was walking through the store and was, once again, pulled toward the hero I saw. His life was truly incredible and I would find it hard to believe that one couldn't still feel his love everywhere at Australia Zoo. Thanks mate, you changed so many lives.

The whole world knew him as the Cocodile Hunter but he was so much more than that. When I first heard of the Cocodile Hunter I thought how crazy is he,but as soon as I watched him a few times I realized that was just his stage name The Man Steve Erwin loved every thing from A. to Z.Every animal reptile,fish, monkey, ape, insects, Ect. Every thing,furry,feathered,scaley,and creepy crawly,he loved them all and it was real. they would bite him, scratch him even pee and poop on him and he still loved them and still kiss them when he let them go. They say one man can't make a difference but he did and he is still missed very much today and I think it is a darn shame the one man in the whole world that could have save our wild life is gone because with out our wild life the earth will die. I am so glad that you Terri Bindi and little Bob are working to carry on his work because if the world keeps going in 100 years I am very afraid all wild life will be gone and so will we.

Though I am late to write. But, it is for sure, no one in this world can ever fulfill Steve's place. Long time has passed. But, we all still miss you. And whenever I hear your voice or see you on Animal planet, I cant believe the truth that, you are no more among us. May GOD blles your soul where ever you are.

I gave my wife Terri's book "My Steve" for Xmas - my wife has followed Steve's adventures for many years and I suspect (although she will not say) that our gorgeous son Stephen was named after Steve (Stephen was born 23/07/07). Anyway, thanks for the memories Steve and we know that God's creatures in heaven are in safe hands with you as their keeper.
God bless - Deane, Cathie and Stephen

Dear Terri,
My son was killed Aug 7,2006. I understand the pain. But I was watching you on Larry King one evening and everything you were say was exactly how I was feeling but the words you were saying really helped me and I thank you for sharing your heart felt moments and being so honest about them. My grandson and I watch Steve's shows all the time. It was so hard for me to tell him about Steve right after his best buddy died. We so miss them both. I have prayed alot for you and your family and his friends.
God bless all of you so much.
