R.I.P Crocodile Hunter
You were so entertaining to watch, full of life. You made people laugh when you said, "Crikey!!" in the face of danger but it never stopped you doing what you loved best even in death, teaching people about animals. Deepest sympathy with his family and friends. You will be sorely missed by everyone. Rest in Peace Steve xxx
I love you steve.. I miss you
I never thought you would die like this. I guess you died doing what you love. But at the same time your death was not wanted. There are so many people who loved you. More than a million by far. I love you. You were and still are my hero.
How could God take such a wonderful person away? ... This is why i guess I am athiest. Becuase if there was such person as god why would he let you die in a freak accident?
This kind of accicent has only happend ONCE before. So why would it happen to you? A wonderful person who loved his job. and cared so much for animals and humans a like.
I will be so angry if they close down your Zoo. You lived for that place. Thats kind of an ironic term i guess.
I saw Richard and Judy this morning (urgh..)
They were so fake. with their "Oh dear what a shame" "*sob sob*"
I just thought. " Would you two just shut up!??! Stop being so fake. You obviously dont even care!"
Grr.
I Just wanted to say this because I love you. You are my hero.
My One True Hero
I Love You.
Rest In Peace.
