I feel so bad for his family. He was the best. I've been upset for the past three days and I was crying and it's so sad. We miss him so much. He was the best "Crocodile Hunter" there will ever be.
Rest in Peace Stevo you will be missed
Its always said that the best go early, and Steve Irwin was just that. Watching Steve on Tv started my love for reptiles, and i believe he has done the same for many others. You left behind a loving family millions of budding reptile enthusiasts, many of which i can only hope will carry on your work concerning the conservation of all wildlife, and promoting that whilst many reptiles are dangerous, they are beautiful animals which require the respect they deserve. Rest in Peace Steve, i hope we do you proud and continue to help animals as you did.
