If a stingray came near me and shot out a barb, it would bounce off my manly chest and shoot back at the stingray and it would hit the stingray and it would explode. That's how manly I am. Steve is a little girl. The sting ray probably tapped him with his tail and steve probably got all scared and had a heart attack.

At least Steve died doing what he loves. Sometimes that is all that one can hope for.

It's just sad to read some people's comments here. Someone's husband, son, father, and friend died. And you call it stupid!? How senseless. I lost my daughter a year ago, and if someone made a senseless comment like that, I'll kill them. I just wish I could say the same type of senseless comment at their own funeral. Show some respect.

my response to a comment posted by steveisdead.

It is a narrow minded person who remembers a person for the one stupid action that he did. Did you stop to think about the true tragedy of his death and what his loss means to his wife and young family. Your comment is a reflection on you and your country and you should be ashamed of yourself....

I think it's a terrible tragedy to lose ones life so young. His poor wife & Children! I alway's said that he lived very dangerously. So he made some dumb mistakes, There is no need to condem him in death!! He loved his Children & wife very much & would never let them get hurt. He knew what he was doing when he took his son in the pit with him. Rest in peace friend!!
You will be missed.

As a born and bread Aussie growing up with Steve Irwin as a childhood icon the news of his death had put me in a state of nothing other than shock. This devastation has already greatly effected people right across our country, then to read such a heartless and soul less comment as the one Posted by steveisdead at 01:40 AM : Sep 04, 2006 has cut quiet deeply to a 17 year olds heart. The fact is Steve Irwin was a great man, great father, husband and icon for Australia. The work he did for our country and the conservation of our wild life will never be forgotten. To the heartless people out there who saw Steve to be nothing more than a f'n Idiot you should really take the time to see how big his heart really way. You should never wish death upon a person no matter how cruel they are, especially when they are far from it.

Get your facts right, find your soul. I've never felt so disappointed, where is the world heading to.

I loved watching steve and his enthusiasum for the animals he loved soooooooo much. My daughter hated him for years until she saw the episode were he found the little dead animal and sat and cried and petted it, he truelly cared for all living creatures. The animal kingdom will truelly be different without him to show us their stories.

Disgusting how mean-spirited people can be. He was a young man with a wife and child and his life has been tragically cut short.

What ever happened to 'if you can't say anything nice, shut the heck up'? Have a little respect for the family and friends who mourn him, please.

A stringray barb to the heart...
I'm shocked that he was mortal. God Bless his wife and children. Thanks for the great, wild ride. You have left us much video, which in it's own way make you live forever. Rest well, friend.

I really find it Ironic that he died so sudden.
I also find it very hard to beleive. I remember watching this guy on TV and wondering how many times he can cheat death.
Now I figure he cant anymore.

I still hvae to look up what a stingray is--how poisness they can be and whatnot.
If this is a hoak..I would be very disapointed in them.

Also-Im a Christian.
I hope he may have found Christ within those minutes of life befor he past on.
I hope those who do this for entertainment will look at this and learn.

Its dangerous.

Love For All

A sad loss, both for his viewers and his family. He was definately talented and had a wonderful way of bringing awareness and appreciation for wildlife to his viewers, expecially children. My son, who has grown up watching the Crocodile Hunter said, when hearing of his death, "at least he died doing what he loves". Amen to that!

Hello;

I used to watch Steve Irwin on television. I got the IMPRESSION that Steve was rather brave and totally UNMINDFULL of his own safety with the animals he handled.

And... He defintely seem to enjoy his prowess and his work.

I thought he got his work pruned down to a science. At least he ACTED like he knew what he was doing....... well, life IS short.

He forgot an old saying from the pages of HISTORY........ "PRUDENCE is the better part of VALOR."

Just for the record, his son was 1 MONTH old, not 1 YEAR old. It's a shame to see this quirky character pass away.
