WE WERE VERY SURPRISED AND SHOCKED TO HERE THAT HE HAS PASSED ON. HE WAS A GREAT PERSON WHO TAUGHT US HOW TO CARE FOR,TREAT,AND GIVE RESPECT TO GOD'S CREATURES. WE SEND OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY TO HIS WIFE TERRI, AND HIS 2 CHILDREN. SINCE HE DOCUMENTED HIS EXPEDITIONS HIS CHILDREN WILL HAVE THAT ALWAYS TO REMIND THEM OF HOW WONDERFUL THEIR FATHER WAS. WE KNOW HE'S IN HEAVEN WITH GOD AND HE'S WATCHING OVER HIS FAMILY, AND THE ANIMALS HE SO GREATLY ADORED AND CARED FOR.
WITH LOVE,
CHRIS AND TARA

The Animal Planet is showing some really good Bio-Doc on Steve Irwin in the stead of the regularily scheduled "Croc. Hunter" program today, 4,SEP,2006

I agree with bunionbabe, the resonable person here. Further, Dr. gazehound you have also used the word 'entertainer' in your comments about Steve so that is what I also mentioned in my previous comments that we should be clear about the terms preofession and adventure or say entertainment. His programs were for entertainment, not for teaching formal students.
I feel sad because he is no more with us. May God bless him and his family. May He give his family patience in this hour of grief.

I noted in one of the comments from Australia how Steve Irwin' death is heart breaking to them. I would just like to say that the "Crocoidile Man's" life is mourned by us here in the United States as well as the world. Our sympathy to Mrs. Irwin and his family and loved ones and to all Aussie's for loss of their native son. God Bless.

Once again BunionBoob won't stop enlightening us with her know it all attitude. Please, Boob, preach to the other 2 people on this earth that feel the same as you, and leave the rest of us out of your ramblings. It's the bleeding hearts like you that make life a drag, and it's Steve's wonderful outlook that makes life more enlightening and livable to us "fat ignorent slobs." Go crawl back under your rock and shut up, ya jerk.

Our prayers are with Steve's family. May they know that no matter what country you are from, we here in America loved Steve. He gave us an insight to a world we may have not known otherwise. I hope and pray that his legacy continues on with his family, doing what Steve loved to do, educate our children about the world around us. He will be terribly missed by our family. Again, God Bless your family and we will be praying for you.

Further to comments about Steve Irwin's lack of formal qualifications.

I hold the qualification PhD as a zoologist and have spent many years educating (hopefully) and informing generations of animal science students.

Steve Irwin was a natural communicator and entertainer with an obvious love of the creatures he presented to us. It is by such joyous presentation that lessons are learned and remembered. My condolences to his family, we are the poorer with death.

God bless him and his family. Many a day as I watched him with animals I knew one thing. I knew he was a very brave soul who wanted to conquer his fears of living with animals on this earth. Sometimes we are all guilty of fueling our passions. Please don't judge this poor soul. God bless him and his family forever. I know he would have never left them if he could have helped it.

[siphar80]

The fact for me is he was such a gosh ***, likeable guy. Of course we always joked that something like this would eventually happen but we were never serious nor did we wish this upon Steve.
I am deeply sorry to see him go.

[mkbjon]

My family and I have always enjoyed Steve Irwin's programs and we were shocked to hear of his passing. Considering the dangerous animals that he usually comes in contact with, this was truly a freak accident. Had it not pierced his heart, he would probably have been ok. People die every day in freak accidents, and some die miserable, and doing absolutely nothing--at least he was living his life and doing what he loved. We will certainly miss him.

I respect the comments of all people here. Sure, we are sad for him as he is no longer with us.
Let me ask those people who say that his profession was justified. May be for him but not for all; If you are asked to adopt the same profession for yourself and die on his age 42 (or whatever or any time even earlier!) leaving your child, wife and others would you accept it?
(On this forum, I know your naswer will be YES)
and people would say for a few days that he was a nice person he provided us with fun and then they forget you. If we talk about his formal education, its not necessary to get formal education to perform well in his field BUT a person without any formal education would show the behavior we have seen. Have you ever seen a person WITH formal education, playing the same life threatening games, without any cause, without caring for his/her family? off course not! There should be clear boundary between the things we call 'adventure' and things we call 'profession' and formal education will give you this sense. Why we like dangerous things and stunts for other people if we are not willing or can not adopt it? just asking others to do it for our tea time fun and our children to laugh at him? not justified at all.

[pwe1959]

To bunionbabe, erhotrod, tomflint69 & any other moron who made ruthless & uniformed remarks about Steve Irwins' death, the only point you have made is that you are obviously quite ignorant and uneducated yourselves!! That man has done more for the conservation of wildlife & it's habitats, educating the world on Australia & demonstrating how to be a great father, husband, son & friend than anyone with a PhD or any other kind of degree could. And he lived everyday with exuberance, zest & joy for life. How sad that you jerks find it "fulfilling" to inflict your venomous tirade on the man, his family & his millions of fans at a time like this. You will surely be "rewarded" appropriately someday.

[margueritta-2009]

My heart is broke. He cared very much and he will be sadely missed. My heart goes out to his Family. How can i send a card to his Family ? Margueritte Fannin
