Steve Irwin (aka the crocodile hunter) died today at age 44 after being stung by a sting ray in the heart. He has left behind his American wife, Terry and two children, Bindy and Bob. 
Such a tradegy! He was so young… and he died doing the thing he loved most… filming a nature documentary for animal conservation.
He is and icon here in New Zealand and Australia – and known world wide. May he rest in peace.
Oh no!!! I always watched him doing his thing with wonder at the danger of it. Never thought anything would happen to him, though. It’s very sad. :pout:
Steve Irwin. My sister and I called him stupid Steve. He always seemed so unbeatable, like he could never be killed by any of the dangerous animals he worked with. May he rest in peace, and my everyone remember him as the stupid daredevil who wan’t afraid to take a chance.
Three cheers for Stever Irwin :cheering:
i use to watch him on telly when i was at school
use to always call him silly steve
but really its only now that my kids are watching him on a dvd you can see he really does love the animals and he isnt the slightest bit worried about the dangers
RIP steve
and my heart goes out to his family
crocs rule… RIP steve
Rest In Peace, Steve. And I hope his family finds some comfort knowing at least he died doing what he loved. :verysad:
RIP Steve-o.
A legend in his own lifetime who leaves a legacy for us all.
He’ll be missed. :pout:
I found out about it last night at work on cnn.com. I feel so horrible for his wife and two kids. :crying:
Wow. That’s…shocking. My thoughts are with his family. So young! :crying:
OH NO! My grandson Ryan will be devastated! He often says that he’s Steve’s biggest fan and wants to work at the Australia Zoo. :pout:
His poor family!
I hated to read about this today on yahoo… feel so bad for his family… they are in my thoughts and prayers…
:pout: OH no! I can’t believe it.
:pout: The story of his death was the first piece of news I got this morning. Very sad.
unbelievable, how sad. :pout:
I was shocked when I heard.
He loved what he did. You could tell he loved life. I learned a lot about friendships from his interactions with the others at the zoo on his show.
Telling my 8 year old son this morning was pretty hard. He took it well.
So sad. :verysad: My thoughts are with his wife and two young children.
My hubby woke me up with this horrible news. I am still in such shock. Like I can’t wrap my brain around it. :verysad: :crying: I can’t even imagine what his family is feeling. I am so very sorry for their loss.
crocs rule!! woohoooo!!
RIP Steve-o 
My heart is broken for his family, and for all the animals at the zoo for they will mourn his death as well. I have been a huge fan of Steve’s(and Terri’s also) ever since I first saw them on TV here in the states. His death is a enormous loss for the wildlife conservation movement world wide. We were all blessed to have him for the 44 years he so generously shared with us all. Australia has lost one of their best ambassadors.
