Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead

Steve Irwin, the snake-wrangling Aussie wildlife enthusiast died today after his heart was pierced by a stingray's poisonous barb. :( He was working on a shoot in the Barrier Reef at the time. Some may have thought he was funny and entertaining, and some may have thought he was annoying. He was over the top, but I enjoyed his energy and was often amazed at his ability to remain calm in many extremely dangerous situations. He leaves behind a wife and two small children. R.I.P.

I was pretty sad to read about his death this morning. He was very entertaining and helped greatly in environmental protection. He will be missed.

I read the news last night on yahoo in disbelief, at first I thought I had mis-read it. Steve was one of my heroes and I enjoyed watching him and Terri share thier lives and passions with us. He will be missed greatly :-(

Sometimes he was over the top, but when he jumped on the crocs, I was in aww. He will be missed.

Often, during his life, I made comments/jokes with friends about how incredibly insane he seemed. But, in memoriam, I suppose he was a man much like myself: deeply passionate about a cause, and wiling to make unusual sacrifices to follow it. There's no question as to how much his "insanity" helped awareness and preservaion of wildlife. He was a valuable man to humanity.

He certainly, at the very least, could keep me entertained. He will be missed.

This was absolutely inevitable. What a crying shame. He was the face of the modern conservation movement and had passion for his work that most will never know. My thoughts are certainly with his family and friends. Discovery Channel has already renamed the gardens in front of their corporate offices after him and are talking about putting together a Steve Irwin Memorial fund to help promote wildlife conservation. I for one will be glad to shell out for that charity. What a loss for nature.

You're right, he will be missed. He reminds me of the stories I read as a child regarding King Solomon who had knowleged of everything that creeps and crawls. The difference is that you don't have to travel to hear as you did with Solomon. Steve came to our living rooms. He was able to educate the ignorant of the world by hightening awareness of our surroundings. His death is a great loss.

I couldn't believe that Steve was killed by a Sting Ray. When I heard about it from my Mom, I thought it was inconceivable. I mean this guy has dealt with Crocodiles that were well over 3 times Steve's size. It's sad that he's gone. No one is ever going to be able to replace him. This guy was very passionate and serious about his job. Steve was my hero when it came to Zoology and Animal Conservation. I hope that his family will be able to get through this. I salute Steve Irwin and his contributions.

Interesting fact I heard today was only 17 people have been killed by sting rays in the last 200 years. What luck that is to die from a sting ray.

Ya, looks a little freaky, but maybe a little better.

He will surely be missed. I heard that the video of his death will be played on television... I don't know how many people will be able to watch it.

Re:Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead

Egh. That would be distasteful at best. The video of his death is something that's out there on the 'net for those who wish to see it, whether out of morbid curiousity or simply seeing it for themselves. As I said before, I found the dude to be totally crazy (and I loved him for it), but in retrospect he did such an incredible amount toward education and preservation. I think that's why his loss struck a chord with so many people.

Did anyone else watch the ceremony for him on Animal Planet? He truely will be missed by everyone who ever saw him in action, on TV or at the Zoo.

The most important part IMO ... there's two parts to it; wait for the second half ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qVXt8e2iEM Or a shorter one that's just the "Bindi" part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PZOUluzcXM

At first, I kind of laughed at the irony of how he was killed by a sting ray, when he's worked with some of the most deadly animals for most of his life. It is a sad thing, I mean, sure he was excentric, but thats what made watching his shows fun. He kept us all entertained and educated at the same time (corny as that sounds). He will forever be missed.

I think a lot of people couldn't believe it. After all, the man wrestle crocs, swam with sharks, and did many thing we couldn't even dream of doing. He was a man of many talents, and I think everyone was effected by his death, especially the kids who looked up to him, like I did. I went to Austrailia recently and saw his show. He really could handle Agro (The largest croc in the zoo) well, and know who will be there to take his place? No one can refill the void left my Mr. Steven Erwin.
