Steve Irwin's Family: He'd Want To Be Remembered As 'Ordinary Bloke'

[karinitza]

My family loved Steve Irwing and the news about his death broked my heart. He was a special man for all the world and the best crocodile's friend.
Gad Bless him and his family.

I thought Mary Ann and the other anchor's comments on the 10:00 news Monday night were heartless. Steve spread the word of animal awareness and animal conservation to hundreds of thousands, maybe millions of people with his unique style. The anchors could only comment on the "baby" incident after the story ran and not how he contributed to our world in a positive way. I will always smile when I see his shows and remember what a true envirornmentalist he was. I hope is mission continues.

Our family was shocked to hear what happened to Steve. We loved to watch him on Animal Planet. We want to send our condolences to his family. We want his family to know they are our thoughts and prayers. We are so sorry. We hope they will keep his show on animal planet. Steve will be missed by the world and his friends and family and his viewers. We love and will miss The Crocodile Hunter. May God Bless Him and his family.

I was so sad to hear the news of steves death.I think it was great how he let viewers into his life, example how he met the love of his life lots never find what he found.Then seeing his childern born and how proud he was,also the fact of how he brought his children into the picture.okay so maybe he did things that i would have never dare do with my own children,but he had a gift.He went the only way he would of been happy going my thoughts and prays are with his family he will be missed

He accomplished more for mankind in his 44 years than do many twice his age. He brought knowledge and understanding of mancy facets of marine life to all corners of the globe. Australia has lost a national treasure. The WORLD has lost a world treasure. He will be missed. He will always be love. And we are grateful for the gift of his life. God Bless him and his family.

I have watched Steve since he first came on American TV . I loved him from the beginning and have grown to love Terri, the children, staff and crew of Australia Zoo. Such a tragic loss that has left both my husband and I in tears. We pray that you all will keep up the work that Steve so loved.
May God bless all of you. You will forever be in our hearts and prayers.

I was devastated at Steve Irwin's death! I can't believe it's true! He was an amazing man, a true inspiration to me and I'm sure many others. I will miss him so much, 'Croc files' and 'The crocodile hunter' were absolutely brilliant and taught me a lot. I hope all his work carries on... Although it will never be the same without him.

I haven't met anyone who did not find Steve Irwin an amazing man. Many of us tuned in to see what he would do next; he had a special gift. He will surely be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

OMG! I can't believe this. Steve was the best. I loved his child-like enthusiasm and the adult reality which he showed on every show I saw him in.

One thing I feel that I learned from Steve was even crocs-as unpredictable as they are-are still "GOGEOUS!!" "Girls are pretty sheilas!"

And when asked how Steve was while growing up, his dad laughed and said, "He was a little monsta!"

To Terry and children and friends of Steve: Please don't ever stop doing what he loved. His is an important work.

Take care all of you who knew him. My deepest heartfelt sympathies.

To all Australian's Steve Irwin was a legend in his own right. He fought for the wilderness of our marvellous planet and showed a lot of Australians how much conservation means to us. My husband and I visit the Australian Zoo on a monhtly basis and Steve's death has affected us in a way I never thought possible. He will be remembered as a great Australian icon and hero. My heartfelt condolences to Terri, Bindi, bob and the team at the Australian Zoo - he will be missed....

What an incredible man and even more incredible loss to the world, especially wildlife. Steve's passion was contagious - I watched his show whenever I could. God bless his adorable wife and beautiful kids. What an amazing husband and Dad they had - his time with them was just way too short. They are in my prayers. (I bet even his beloved 'crocs' are going to miss his loving manner). I pray his work will continue.
