[The Dark Dancer]

Me and my Mom just looked it up and yesterday was Father's Day in Australlia. How sad!

Eh. I never really liked his shows that much anyways.

Aww... that makes me cry

 

[AllyGirlie]

Wow, I'm amazed that he died. I mean he was an extremely well trained man in dealing with these animals, but I guess all it takes is one wrong move...

 

[Sparx]

That's good. So he died instintly?

yes he did.

It's so sad to see someone with a wife and small kids die so early. He still had so much life left to live. At least he died instantly, doing what he loved. His family is in my prayers.

RIP Steve Irwin!

I just saw this! I loved his zest for life. He is so gonna be missed.

You can't imagine how much people are talking about this around campus.
I swear, I heard twenty conversations in the dining center, and almost every has an 'RIP Crocidile Hunter' written on their dry-erase boards on their doors.
My roommate said her bio professor even made a slideshow tribute to him.

It's really sad, and I send prayers and pixie dust to his family. RIP!

Can't you atleast admit that it's sad. It doesn't matter whether you liked the show or not he died in a tradgic accident and his children no longer have a daddy. Steve was a great guy despite your tv prefrences.

I was shocked when I found out-I still am. He left a legacy and he will be missed. I'll keep his family and friends in my prayers!

He once said "If I am remembered at all for anything, I want to be remembered for conservation"

Steve had a passion and a love for animals. A love for them that was so strong, that he ended up giving his life to educate people about them. He saved thousands and opened doors for other zoologists to follow in his footsteps.

Steve was a great man, and what he did will live on in the hearts of people forever. Don't remember him for his family. don't remember him for his shows. Remember him for his undying love for all living things.

Animal Planet is doing a tribute for those who want to watch!

 

[KatieIsSoPR]

I almost cried when I heard about His death. I'm still kind of waiting for someone on CNN to just be like "Suprise! Steve is just fine!" BUt at least he didn' die of anything lame like old age, I'm sure this is the way he would want to go. There will never be anyone quite like him again. May his memory live on forever.

you dont have to like his shows to like the guy. i didnt like his shows either but yet, i still liked him. his personality was so.......bubbly.......and now that this incident happened, its gone. my sister used to have a wiggles tape with him guest starring on it......i wish she still had it.

We all knew it was coming one day or another...

yeah it was but still, cant you have more sympathy? this man was.....a legend.....and for you to say, oh well, it was gonna happen some day and stuff like that? its kinda mean! (IMHO) i guess i am so overwelmed by it that i cant stand when people dont have any sympathy for horrible accidents/events..........................

Well said! Honestly Bellhop! A man DIED! Fine, you didn't like his shows. . .Sure he was setting himself up for it sooner or later. But that doesn't change the fact that it was a tragedy! He fought for animals, He loved his work and took risks for it! If anything feel sorry for the family and the animals that won't have his influence or his love on earth again!

yeah. everyone dies someday. So ryan, you've never been shocked when someone died, even someone you didn't particularly care for?

This bothered me. This statement totally destories everything he did. Saying that his love for animals is gone is like saying his memory is. And its not. His love for animals lives on in everyone he ever touched or ever taught something to. His love for every living creature lives on in the lives of thousands of people all over the world. He made a difference.

Sorry if I disturbed you! lol. . .What I meant was they will never experience him personally again. . .I know that he left a legacy I was just trying to make a point.
