Crikey, what a loss!
Today we woke up to the shocking news that Steve Irwin, The Croc Hunter, died due to a freak accident when he was stabbed in the heart from a barb from a sting ray. It is like when Princess Diana died or JFK Jr. I still cannot believe it.
It really upsets me that the media is constantly showing the incident in which a lot of people were upset when they thought he put his son, baby Bob, in danger while he was feeding a croc. He has done so much good through his show and his enthusiasm for not just crocs, but animals in general.
I really feel bad for his family and the people he worked with and the animal kingdom because they really lost a true advocate.
We watched the show for several years but lost touch the last couple of years mainly because of my son who was born and we started watching more cartoons but I had planned on going back to watching the show again once my son started showing interest in animals again because I thought it was an educational show and Steve was such a fun guy to watch. I loved doing impressions of him. "Crikey, have a look at this! He's a good daddy, playing ball with his son."
Thanks, Steve, we will miss you!!!!

Steve, upon waking in heaven likely said, "Crikey, a string ray? Ya gotta be kidding mate!" He had a wonderful sense of humor and would have appreciated the irony of this.
My heart is with his wife and sons. It is also with all the children who loved him -- including the grown up ones, like us.
i think alot of homes are feeling the same way. he entered them and taught us and we, here, are deeply sadened by his death.
May God rest his soul in peace and may He grant his family and friends peace in their heart.
Sad to say I never watched and now it is too late.
It is so shocking. He was so full of fun and joy. Not many people are lucky enough to love what they do for a living. I wish more people had his passion and love of life.
That was so horribly sad and I to feel so horrible sad for his wife and sons. Nice post.
