I am deeply saddened by Steve's death. I know he thought of himself as an ordinary bloke, but he was a hero to many children, and to all the animals in the world. My four children feel like they lost a friend.

Such a wonderful family to carry on. Steve, I think I have cried for your family everyday since your death. We all know you are in a better place with your mum and pup. You will be remembered as the wildlife worrior, loved and never forgotten by the world. I was so glad to hear your dad say that he would be there to help Terri guide Bindi and Little Bob. God Bless you all at Australia Zoo and don't ever stop the work you do. Thanks, Echo

It's been over a week since Steve's passing, and I am still deeply saddened by the loss of Steve Irwin. My husband and I have four children 10 and under. Steve has become our favorite wildlife warrior. We can't think of one person who emitted such energy, excitement and passion for God's creatures. He was a pleasure to watch and learn from.
We pray for Steve's family. May God comfort them, heal their hearts and give them great peace. I have been so blessed to see all the wonderful photos of Steve's family. He truly held his family closest to his heart. His legacy shall live on and we will look forward to getting to know Bindi and Bob as they grow up and continue their dad's mission for preserving wildlife.
God Bless,
Glenda & family

So many people from all over the world are pulling together in their time of grief to come to the assistance of each other. It is truly amazing!!
This just proves all the more to me, the impact Steve Irwin made upon our lives. His mission was to save wildlife around the world by getting people to start loving animals. Even though many have never met him, his exuberant demeanor charmed the world; they felt as if they did indeed know him and genuinely grieve for his passing. He was personable as well as passionate.
The love and respect that Steve showed for his family, as well as his dedication to conservation is most admirable, and gives us all something to aspire to. Donations continue to pour in from all over the world into his Conservation and Wildlife Preservation projects. Many, like me, have vowed in addition to the monetary donations, that we are going to take an active part in our local Conservation and Wildlife Preservation projects. Steve's spirit, passion and enthusiasm will live on into the very far future, for he has created a fierce band of "Wildlife Warriors Worldwide" to carry his legacy onward. Steve by “Crickey” you have made us better people for who you were and what you stood for. “Good on Ya Mate!!”
Terri, Bindi, Young Bob, Steve's Father Bob, John and Wes...we love ya Mates and our hearts and sincerest condolences to you all. Time will heal your tears and heartache, but know that he loved you all so dearly and his memory will carry you all through these very difficult times. Now and in the future.
All my love and prayers;

Hi
I must say that the news hit me hard like the news about the plane crash in the twin towers in the US - you think and say out loud - its impossible! - I´m having a night mare......I must wake up, this just isen´t happening....
I have admired Steve Irwin and you Terri for years, for I know of no other that so wholely commit themselves and their hearts to the conservations of nature and its wildlife. So I mourn with you and pray to God that he send three little angels to watch over you and your beautiful children. God bless you.
He will never be forgotten, I send you warm thoughts.

It has been 10 days since he died, and we are still feeling such great loss. We loved him as did millions of others. Dearest Terri, Bindi, Bob and Steve's family and friends: We can't imagine the grief you are experiencing . . . it must be overwhelming. We just want you to know that we are lifting you up in our prayers. This world loved Steve, and we love his family . . . you don't know us, but we are standing with you and praying for you. We know it's not much comfort, but it is all we have to give--and we give it wholeheartedly. May God wrap you in His arms of love and compassion, and may you find comfort there.

My deepest sympathies to Terri and her beautiful children. Steve was my hero and one of the few people who really felt as I do about our earth and all the creatures who reside with us. His passion was contagious and his spirit always shown with such innocence and compassion. There will NEVER be another like him.... One of a kind... One in a million!!!!! One hell of a man!
I will miss you and will keep Terri and the children in my prayers and know that they will continue your triumphant journey to protect, respect and conserve our natural resources on this great diverse planet!!!!! CRIKY YOU WERE THE BEST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For Steve and family I have watched your shows for a very long time and I cry everytime I think of you not being able to run around with your energy that was so contagious and your smile and love of all your crocs.I only regret I never got to meet you in person. I have loved animals my whole life and what you did for wildlife is beyond words. I am having a hard time with this.I will donate to you the wildlife warriors and hope what you so fiercly believed in will continue to affect millions of people. I know how your family must miss you and Bindi I hope all that you have learned in your young years from your wonderful father you will put to good use. I know your daddy would be very proud if you carry on his work.
GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU AND STEVE I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOU AND YOUR DOWN TO EARTH YET SO EAGER TO DO WHAT WAS IN YOUR HEART. I JUST CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAD TO BE TAKEN SO YOUNG.

You left the world a better place for having been in it. Not only did you draw the world's focus to conservation, but you taught a generation of people, both young and old, that the fusion of one's natural abilities with passion and the desire to serve others is the greatest legacy one can leave behind. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the many lessons. Love and peace to your beautiful family.
