God, I used to love watching his shows and specials. I remember every time we had a science report, I did it on one of his shows. He was always so happy, like no matter what bit him he'd be ok. He was like the most cheery guy, and always had his faith put in animals that nobody else would ever trust. If he hadn't pulled the stinger out, he would've lived. I can't help but think that maybe he would've figured that out. But then again, there was a stinger through his chest. I'm going to miss Steve Irwin, and definately am going to tell my future kids about this guy who was so brave.

A one of a kind man who touched our family and friends with the message of not to be afraid of life but to give all life the reverence and respect it deserves.
A man who never lost the joy of being alive. may we all feel just that much more alive for Steve having lived.

My prayers and best wishes are with his family. He had an entertaining, but still educational show which i really loved, and i couldn't believe it when i heard from his death...
His place in heaven is secured for all the love and protection he gave all animals.
Rest in Peace Steve

My heart goes out to the entire Irwin family and Steve's family at the Austrialian Zoo. God blessed us with Steve and gave the animals a voice. He educated people without them even realizing it. My heart is saddened and will miss his bigger than life shows.

If it wasn't for my precious daughter who loved to watch Steve a couple years ago, I would have never gotten the pleasure of seeing him "In Action" as "The Croc Hunter" My daughter has a special love for animals and I beleived it stemmed from his shows and his personality. He introduced a whole new world to us and it is with people like him make this place a better world for everyone. I believe his wife, Terri, his 2 beautiful children and the rest of his family and friends were truly blessed to know someone of his nature. With great sympathy to the family. He'll be missed.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT I DIDN'T WATCH HIS SHOWS HARDLY AT ALL, BUT SAD TO SAY THAT I'M REALLY INTO THEM NOW MORE THAN EVER. I FEEL REALLY BAD ABOUT THAT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE WATCHED THEM BEFORE. I DO ENJOY WATCHING THEM ALOT ESPECIALLY STEVE. HE'S FUN TO WATCH. I ESPECIALLY LOVE THE WAY HE TALKS WHEN HE GETS EXCITED. I JUST LOVE HIS AUSSIE ACCENT. THE MORE I WATCH HOW HE WAS WITH THESE ANIMALS, THE MORE I LOVE HIM. YOU COULD TELL HOW MUCH HE LOVED THOSE ANIMALS. YOU CAN ALSO TELL THAT HE WAS A GREAT FATHER, HUSBAND, FRIEND AND SON. YOU FELT LIKE YOU KNEW HIM. WATCHING HIM WITH HIS KIDS DEFINITELY SHOWED HOW MUCH HE LOVED BEING A FATHER. WE WILL ALL MISS YOU STEVE! I CANNOT BELIEVE A GREAT, SWEET LOVING MAN LIKE HIM HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM US. STEVE YOU WILL FOR SURE BE MISSED BY ME, BUT FOR SURE NOT FORGOTTEN, NEVER EVER! YOU WILL LIVE ON FOREVER IN MY HEART AND THE HEARTS OF OTHERS WHO LOVED YOU! I WILL SAY THIS IN HONOR OF YOU STEVE: CROCS RULE! TO TERRI, BINDI AND ROBERT AND THE REST OF THE FAMILY MAY GOD BE WITH YOU AT THIS DIFFICULT TIME, KNOW THAT HES THERE WHEN YOU NEED HIM AND YOU DO NEED HIM. I'LL BE PRAYING FOR YOU ALL! LOVE YOU GUYS! SHARI

Dear Terri & Family,
There are no words to convey condolances that come from the my heart to you. I know the world misses Steve but my heart bleeds for you & your children, especially Bindi. I would give my life to bring Steve back as his was so much more important than mine is. Why the Lord chooses one so needed & leaves others like myself makes no sense to me. The phrase is the Good die young but why? I'm sure you are saying the same thing. You have your memories & they will carry you through, his memories won't let you down even in this worst of times of your life. You say he was & probably is still your soulmate, so that he is still with you no matter where you are.
May that the Lord give you all the strength that you need to carry on all that you have ahead of you.
I am happy for you that you have all of Steve's family & friends there for you. The rest of the world including myself can only say how much we will miss him. How can I say that I know how much you will miss him because of a loss of my own, which does not compare to yours as he was my father.
May Steve's Legacy carry on forever for conservation & teaching all the people he reached to care for the animals of all types in the wild. To preserve the wild for the wild animals I hope his message will go out to all the world now that he has left it. It could be the reason he was taken from you & the world. It is the only reason that makes any sense to me, but still not a good enough reason. I hope that your friends will be there for you after all this publicity & shock to the fans is over. That your true blue family & friends stand by you for all your life.
I wish you speedy healing of your heart & soul that the pain eases with each passing day.
You know that you will always have Steve's love Forever & A Day!
May you & your family be blessed with healing.
May The Lord Above Take Care Of You All.

Even though I never met him, I always enjoyed watching his shows. He was always smiling and so full of energy. I was always afraid of crocs, but through his show, I have a new respect for them. Terri, may time be kind to you and your family. Steve was taken way too soon. Bindi and Bob, may you always know what a special man your father was. May his life be celebrated and remembered with love and laughter. To his parents, thank you for raising such a spirited son who has helped us all have a new respect for wildlife, from snakes to crocs. To his whole family: you will be in my thoughts and prayers through this very difficult time. Always remember, Steve is watching over you all.
With much love,
Melinda

I finally saw understand what Steve was talking about. I used to think the animals can fend for themselves until I went out in the woods with my mom and saw a mother deer and twin babies. I was such a beautiful sight. Then I turned around and watched another deer get hit by a car and lay there and die as the car just kept going. I sure hope Steve's message continues on.
Terri may you be strong and carry on what is so unfinished. I am going to see what I can do to help out here in the USA.
Steve will be missed in this household.
Thank you for teaching my mom so she can teach me.
