    Very much so. I got to meet him a few times. I think he sometimes did some pretty dumb things...the baby and the crock...bad idea. But, he loved his family very much and tried to be an actively GOOD father, despite a few lame ideas from time to time (who doesn't manage to do a few dumb ones on occasion?)

    His passion for education with regards to animals knew no bounds, he was DRIVEN to provide accurate information to people and to provide a means to protect and support a healthy wildlife environment. He loved preforming...I think we could ALL see that...it was his joy, second only to Terri, his children and the well-being of the animals under his care.

    JAMMco... its complicated...

    I was shocked, didn't believe it, and even more shocked when I found out it was a StingRay.

    I loved the show, loved his work, loved his passion for animals and conservation.

    I feel for his family, and wished it hadn't happened. I'm glad they destroyed the video of his death so it wouldn't have to be relived over and over again all over the net.

    yeah i was and i was so shocked. its weird to think he died in the sea when he used to wrestle crocodiles. its sad because he had a family and his children were only little. he did a lot for animals and his little girls speech had me in tears. shes so grown up for her age.

    I thought it was very sad, especially for his family. Not only did they lose him but they lost him in such a public way.

    My son was very upset that he died. He was his hero and was inspired to become a vetranarian working with elephants because of his show. He figures if Steve can do what he loved then so can he. And I was shocked, he was always so carefull, even if he was a nut. And I really respected his work to help save animals. I also feel very sorry for his young family.

    Well if you weren't than you obviously have no conscious or soul. I mean the idea of losing a family in this way is just extremely hard to comprehend for most people but this guy made a living doing things on the edge of death so this way of dying was much higher than him picking up cancer or being shot or any other possible death causes if you think about it.

    My boss has a son who taught Steve Irwin martial arts. Greg had met Steve after winning a martial arts tournament, and they immediately hit it off. Greg would meet up with Irwin in all kinds of places for lessons and practice. In January of 2006, Greg and his whole family (wife, 2 kids, my boss and his wife) were all invited to the Irwin villa for a vacation. The Irwins treated them like royalty, making their yacht and private zoo available. My boss said Steve Irwin was remarkable for his passion - that he had never met anyone who poured as much energy and love into the life's work he'd chosen, and that this attitude was inspiring and contagious.
    Not many people add so much to the lives of others. In Steve Irwin's case, he added to the lives of animals as well as people.
    Sometimes it seems that those who burn brightest burn shortest. Greg was devastated by his friend's death and still has trouble with the idea that someone so alive one second could be so dead the next.

    Honestly, I used to be on Steve Irwin's side about all this and think he was a hero. Now, I worry that so many children were exposed to that example. He could have used his passion and enthusiasm to teach people about conservation without trying to get himself killed every other day. He did not just show people animals or observe them, he got in their face and poked at them and tried to get a reaction. This is NOT intelligent, and while his death may have been a freak accident, it's safe to say he was lucky up until that point and his luck would have run out soon enough. That he kept his arrogant naive attitude about how superior he was in working with animals and felt he knew exactly what he was doing at all times and what would happen next was a major fallacy. This reminds me of Timothy Treadwell who lived with grizzlies for 13 years and was ultimately eaten by them. It doesn't matter how much you think you are in control or how much you know about animals or how many years of your life you have dedicated to working with them, they are ANIMALS. They have instincts, and they react in unpredictable ways. Period. I hope that the death of these two has driven home the point once and for all that no one knows these animals completely and how they will react all the time. Just the other day I saw a picture of young Bindi Irwin with a snake COILED COMPLETELY AROUND HER NECK. I can't believe that these people haven't learned their lesson yet. Unbelievable. At this point, I'm in disbelief at the exploitation and just plain lack of common sense.

    Millions I think, he was a brilliant conservationalist besides being very entertaining and doing great nature shows

    Luckily his family are all of the same mindset and will continue his good work

    Me. I never met him, I wish I had. I always expected him to slip up with a snake or a croc.
    I loved his passion, compassion, and his message. The only animal he was ever intimidated by really was a parrot! You can't help but respect him.
    A stingray killed him and that isn't common! That's as suprising as a platypus killing someone to me. (platipi are poisonous, there is no anti-venin, but the cases of someone dying from it are very rare.)

    Little Bindi is going to do her dad proud though. Have you ever heard a little girl so adamant about conservation and animals? (especially crocs!)

    I think anyione who has wathced his program will be saddened by his death. He did get a lot of criticism for some for being the star of the show rather than the animals themselves, but for epople like me it made the program so much more entertaining.
    He was a larger than life figure and will be very much missed not just by his family but his friends worldwide.

    I was. I was in my dads ute with my Bf at the time...Waiting for dad to get fuel when i heard it on the radio. I was so shocked.. i couldnt speak. Steve was a great guy..he loved his family and of course animals, he died doing something he loved. I was also very touched with Bindi's speech...She had me in tears. R.I.P Steve..Always in our hearts.

    I am not saddened for the death of someone I didnt know. I'm not glad it happened but it happened and I'm not wasting tears on it. I'll save those for the people that I care about not the people others care about. He was a cool guy and he will be missed but I cant honestly say I'll lose any sleep over it.
