Kurt Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Today, Monday September 4th, Steve Irwin, the Crocidile Hunter passed away. He was stung in the heat by a poisonous stingray. He will be greatly missed by millions. He was only 44. I grew up watching Steve Irwin everyday. I looked up to him, and I still do. He was a wonderful person, and an asset to wildlife. Rest in Peace Stive Irwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Today, Monday September 4th, Steve Irwin, the Crocidile Hunter passed away. He was stung in the heat by a poisonous stingray. He will be greatly missed by millions. He was only 44. I grew up watching Steve Irwin everyday. I looked up to him, and I still do. He was a wonderful person, and an asset to wildlife. Rest in Peace Stive Irwin. I heard about this around 7AM this morning at work. I was greatly shocked and saddened by this news. Like Kurt, I grew up through my teen years watching Steve work with a whole variety of animals. I loved the excitment he carried in everything he did. He will be sadly missed by millions across the world. My thoughts and prayers go to his wife and two children at this difficult time. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickolasJames8 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I know it's really messed up, but maybe he didn't have to suffer and he died doing what he loved the most. God Bless him and his family Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerdude Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 I always enjoyed his shows as well. He was funny and he really tried to teach people about wildlife and to respect it. He will be missed. He was also so cute, I hope they do a whole day of reruns in his honor. Prayers to his family and friends, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krista Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 To me Steve Irwin was an extremely important person. I also grew up watching him, but he impacted my life in what I wanted to do for the rest of it. He is the reason I am in college trying to receive a Master's Degree in Biology so that I could get into Zoology and Conservation. He loved and respected everyone and everything and even if people thought he was insane for being who he was I don't think anyone could doubt his love for all life, and his life. I hope that Terry, his wife will continue what they both have started. Krista Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Administrator Graeme Posted September 5, 2006 Site Administrator Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm still amazed with the impact that he's had on so many across the world. I've been sitting here watching as tributes flow for him from the across the globe. There is no doubt that he was an able, genuine ambassador for conservation, the environment and for Australia. Best wishes to his wife and two children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFriendlyFace Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I'm so sorry to hear about his passing As Nick said though at least he was doing what he loved. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. I too grew up watching his shows and feel that he made a positive impact, Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jalaki Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 *hugs to all those affected by this, and double-hugs to Steve's family* Y'know, it DOES amaze me how much he touched people. I was never a fan of his...just never got into it *shrug* No idea why...but now I feel like I've missed out Somehow his cry of "Croike!" did work it's way into my vocabulary, though, so I'll still carry a little piece of him around with me, heh. The thing I find rather odd is the way he died...stung by a stingray? That's like coming home from the front lines of a war and falling down the stairs. I always imagined he'd go down with a pile of 20 crocs all on him at once while another 20 lay already wrestled and tied up and ready to be studied. *shrug* It's a crazy world. Anyway....my heart goes out to his family and all his fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formosa Posted September 5, 2006 Share Posted September 5, 2006 I woke up this morning to this news on the radio, and thought I was dreaming. Really surprised the way he was killed, but the the newsreader said it was instant, so I guess, and hope, it was probably less painful. Like many t(w)eens here, I grew up watching his crazy crocodile and werid and wonderful shows. One thing he taught me was respect and valuing the life and territory of all beings. He'll be much missed. May his kindness toward nature and all beings live on wherever he may be . UPDATE 3Sept2006 As a tribute to Steve's life (and death), here are a collection of cartoons .
