Steve Irwin

God bless you Steve IrwinI just learned today that Steve Irwin, better known as The Crocodile Hunter, passed away yesterday while filming an upcoming show in Australia. He was 44.

I first encountered Steve on television many years ago on the Discovery Channel before he was wildly popular and instantly loved his enthusiasm, care and dedication to the animals he was caring for at the Australia Zoo and those he brought into our living rooms.  I really gained a deep respect for Steve-O when I watched one of his episodes where he was rescuing partially burned lizards and other animals from a grass fire.  He was truly emotional and genuine and the real advocate for animals showed through.
I am shocked and deeply saddened at the loss of such a great environmentalist and family man. Allison and I extend our deepest sympathy to his wife Terri, daughter Bindi Sue and son Robert Clarence as well as his dad Bob and the staff and friends of the Australia Zoo on the Sunshine Coast of Australia.

Steve, this simple memorial can’t express the joy and enthusiasm you’ve given to me over the years. Thanks mate.

    I felt so sad for death of Steve Irwin and feel that there is something is missing really.
    God help us and give us patience.

    There are a lot of incredible people today that are hardly recognized … Enjoy the living, especially those who adore you!
    Steve Irwin was quite the character who certainly loved nature and Gods creatures.
    He will be missed ~
