Dear Terri, Bindi, Bob & Family
Our thoughts are with you, I cant even begin to think what it must be like for you Terri and the children. Life for you will never be the same! Please except our condolences.
Steve, well I have watched most of your shows just the other day. Im very angry at myself that I never did that when you were still here with us and that I never got to meet you at your zoo. I guess sometimes we dont stop and see how valuable a person such as yourself is until its too late. Now I do feel guilty that I didnt notice and know of all the work that you did for wildlife. The world would be such a more pleasant place if there were more STEVES. We are all going to miss all your shows and what we learnt from them. Todays memorial was very touching, it made me cry like a little baby. Your wife, daughter and son were in the crowd of over 5000 people, Bindi said the most touching words about her daddy (everything a dad would long to hear). You will always be remembered Steve, you will always be in many peoples hearts and your passion for wildlife will live on. May you rest in peace and forever look over your wife, daughter, son and family.

Condolence to the family of the late 'Croc Hunter' Steve Irwin. If it wasn't for him, i would still think taht snakes and crocs are meant to be kill coz my understanding is that these animals are very dangerous and cannot be saved but killed. My thoughts and prayers will always be with you.

I always admired his spunk, and could take or leave him, but when I heard Steve had passed, I cried, and felt a part of my life had just left me. He will be sadly missed

Terri, Bob, and Bindi-Sue,
Ms. Terri Irwan,
I cry for the loss of your husband and feel you pain. I have lost a loved one as well and share your pain. Be strong, for the world needs you and the word needs you to carry on the message of conservation.
Bindi-Sue,
Bindi, I share your pain from the loss of your father. I am surprised that at the tender age of eight, you are coping well with your loss. Be strong, for the world needs you to carry the message. Can't wait to see your T.V. show!
Robert a.k.a. Bob,
You may not remember your father and you may not be able to read this but I send my deepest condolences to you. Help your parent, sister, and everyone else through this troubling time with your smile.
Steve,
Werever you are mate, I hope your parting from this world to the next was painless and comfortable. May you teach the angels about crocidiles and other animal at the recreation of your zoo in the sky. Keep the message going in the after life and Rest In Peace, mate.
CROCS RULE!!!
Sincerly,

As was everyone else, I am shocked and saddened when learning of Steve Irwin's death. Steve was a wildlife warrior, a great father, husband and friend to all. Words can't express the hurt that we all feel now that Steve is no longer with us. I just want to say thanks to Steve for all he gave myself and millions around the world. I pray for your family and beloved friends and hope that Steve's life work is carried on and that we all learn a valuable lesson from Steve and that is wildlife is here and we have to take care of it and show the same passion that he did for it. God bless you Steve and your family and friends. May your love in heaven be as strong there as here forever.

My thoughts and prays are with you and your family. If it wasn't for Steve, I probably wouldn't have know so much as I do about animals and I am greatful for the knowledge I do know. Learning about animals isn't that fun anymore with Steve Irwin. I will miss him.

Our children, Anna-6, Richard-7, and Sarah-9 have truly enjoyed watching anything with Steve or Terry in it. Our family wants you to know that our hearts go to your family and want you to know what a great person we thought he was and what a wonderful job he did for animals all over. God Bless, the Manns' family

I was in total and absolute shock when I heard of Steve's untimely passing. My 5-yr-old son just loved him, as did I. I would like for you to know that Steve is and will continue to be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you, your family, and everyone (man or beast) at the Australia Zoo. God Bless!

The time I first saw him on t.v was when I was very young.The first thing I said was I'm going to be just like him when I grow up.That was my dream, to be just like him.To catch crocs,snakes camels and save endangered animals.But my dream was to catch them with him. To share the pleasure of saving animals everywhere in the world.But now it looks like I'm doing it solo.To Tarry,Robbert,Bindi,and Mr. Irwin.Stingray kills are like getting struck by lightning...One in one million.I probably could have made a new ocean with how many times I cried when I got home from school and when they had the memorial.You said you wanted to hand the foot ball you call wildlife conservation, step aside and let your kids run it up.That would be the greatest achievement of your life you have not only created the children that will follow in your footsteps but you've created me, a wild saving machine and I will finish your lifes work.YOUR LEGACY WILL LIVE ON THROUGH ME. I'LL MISS YOU MATE.I'LL TAKE IT FROM HERE.

Dear Terrie and family,
My name is Kelsey Young. I live in Michigan in the United States. I am very sorry to hear that Steve died. I’m only 12 and I feel so sad because he was my idol. Ever since I heard about him when I was I think 5 I always wanted to be just like him. He was my absolute favorite person in the whole world not because he was on TV, because he loved animals like I do and he always wanted to help them like I do. One day I found a baby bird in my yard that was there for a couple of days, so me and my mom took care of him for a while. That reminded me so much of what Steve would do. I would always say in my mind what would Steve do??? I miss him so much and it broke my heart when he died, I always wanted to meet him. I was hoping in the whole time I ever knew him I would always wish I could go see the Australian Zoo, it always sounded so amazing and unique that I always wanted to come see it. But now I don’t know if I can and I really wish I could come see the zoo. But I have no way of getting there right now. I also feel sad for your kids, they are so young and I feel so bad. I’m having trouble in school too because I can concentrate on school I’m always concentrating on Steve. Well I hope you read this and I am always thinking about you and your family.
Love Always,
Kelsey Young

Our loss is Heaven's gain. Steve taught us how important it is to have passion about something we love,be it family or wildlife. Life is too short,so live and love like there is no tomorrow , have no regrets,I'm sure Steve had none. I don't believe he would have chosen to leave his family at this time of his life but he left a lot behind to build on,and so Steve we'll take it from here.

Farewell Steve
Crikey! Mate where’d ya go, you shoulda seen the Zoo,
Filled with folks and flowers all there to pay tribute to you.
We had a laugh we cried a lot and shared a story or too.
And they even had old Willo there singing us True Blue.
Mate you should seen Bindi, talking to the crowd
A handwritten speech about you, geez she’s did ya proud.
Little Bob just sat there quietly upon his Mummy’s knee,
A perfect little angel his eyes full of wonder and glee.
Terri was there in khaki, dark glasses on her eyes,
Tears flowed down her cheeks remembering you guys.
She was too upset to talk to us but we understand,
She’s lost the other half of her heart, her husband and her man.
Wes did a bonza job although his voice was thin,
A few tears escaped him and ran down on his chin.
He recalled his first croc feed with you, when mum and dad left the place,
He described the way you where so proud and the big smile on your face.
And your Dad’s been great, talking to the news,
He was your best mate, and his best mate was you.
He’s looking after Terri and Bob and Bindi-Sue,
He said grieve for the animals but don’t grieve for you.
Russ was there by video link, live from the land of the free,
Its seems the whole world mourns for you.
You even spent a week headlining on Yankee TV.
Ya girls where there and took bananas right from Bindi’s hand,
The crocoseum was filled right up, not even room to stand.
We know your looking down on us with a big smile on ya face,
Saying cmon now and wipe ya tears, no cryin round this place.
We’ll meet again I know for sure for nothing is forever.
And you and Terri,Bindi and Bob will once again be together.
So farewell Steve, you’ll be sadly missed by us and animals small, large and spiky,
And im proud to shout it from the rooftop CRIKEY CRIKEY CRIKEY!!!!
