We miss him. And my son wants to be just like him!

Since i was just a few years old, my dream was to meet him. I always freaked when he came on tv. i knew (and still know) all the crocs by name. I cried when he died

He always knew he wouldn't be here long. I was so bummed when he died, but not the least bit surprised. I'm glad that his wife and daughter are doing his work now.

What a great experience for you. He was a great man and did even greater work.

Man I miss Steve Irwin!

I love that last pic - it says it all about his love for the reptiles.

I have seen that same exact look on the face of a new mom watching someone else hold their baby - that 'be careful...hold her right....I'll catch you if you fall' sort of look.

yeh, hard to believe he was killed by a stingray of all things...that would be the last thing in the world I would expect to be hurt by. He died doing what he loved I just hope when I go i could be that lucky
