P.S. The news media has had a marine biologist's statment saying that the stingray is not all that lethal. If any of you know more about how and what happened please let me know my juno email is in my profile. Thanks to all

Regretfully I have never seen any of his shows although I would surely enjoy them. Having heard comments of how he and other showmen have handled animals I was not shure I would approve some say he was to rough with them. Some day a DVD will be produced compiling his shows. I have read that he and his parents before him rescued numerous injured and otherwise endangered animals from harm. For that Steve and his family have earned an A+. Be strong Teri and children.

Most words sound somewhat wooden and paltry when trying to describe the depth of loss to the animal community. Steve's charisma and way with animals was fantastic, and was always the consummate conservationist.
There is no question that the name Steve Irwin will be iconized along with the other great wildlife media personalities like Perkins and Cousteau.
Our deepest sympathies got to Terri and the kids. He will be missed, and never forgotten.
I raise a glass of Foster's to you, Mate!

In my opinion he will always be my favorite wildlife conservationist and his passion for saving Endangered Herps and other animals world wide and not just in Australia. I hope that Bindin and Terri carry on his legacy with what groundwork Steve accomplished. There has been great ones gone like Diane Fossy, and Aldo Leopold, and now unfortunatley we have to add Steve Irwin to the list of powerful conservationists that will now be only in DVD or VHS documentaries. I am privalaged to have watched his show from just about day one back in early 1990's when Discovery Channel was in it's infant stages. God bless the Irwins and let herps live forever. Peace out

Steve I have to say its painfully obvious millions upon millioons will miss you. You have truly acheived what many before you and still hope for. You taught people to love and respect animals that people have and to some degree have always feared. You have Gods hand on your work. God will now place his hand in your family's life and bring peace and a much deserved rest to them. I hope to see Bendi and Bob involved in the family business one day. May we all honor your memory by seeing your work continue.

God bless you and thank you Steve!

I didnt realize how much of influence Steve had on me and my family untill we learned of his passing i just could'nt belive it .I had to take a momment to step back and say ok is this real,it just really hit close to home becouse my self haveing two small childern it could have happen to me becouse i am a keeper of venomous reptiles. then when i seen it on the local news it hit me that he was gone.some times we as humanbeings start to think we are immortal untill reality slaps us in the face . i never knew steve personaly but i can remeber staying up all night watching crock hunter reruns on tv. and his passion for reptiles and all of the worlds predtors. to help the population to understand these animals and help them understand they have a very important place in the world.He will be missed and my prayers go out to his family.And to who ever else who reads this please keep in mind that we are all humans so please use a little more caution when ever you open that cobra encloser or what ever its never a good thing to hear of someones passing and we are all brothers and sisters in the same fight please BE SAFE again rest in peace steve we'll all meet in that big jungle in the sky ......

I can't express the loss I feel. I've always had great admiration for Steve and his family but didn't realize how much he meant to me until I found out he was gone. My wife and I have truly mourned his death and encourage everyone to keep Terri, Bindi, Bob, Bob Sr. and the rest of his family and friends in your prayers. This is a time that they are really going to need strength and guidance from the Lord.
