He died doing what he loved best. Apparently he didn't suffer, thank God. Even though people thought he was crazy, overzealous, goofy, whatever, at least he stood up for what he believed and loved and opened our eyes to the lives of all animals. I'm betting he bypassed the Pearly Gates and headed straight for Rainbow Bridge. Lots of open paws, wings, hoofs, flappers...
Safe journey, mate. Thanks for making the world a better place. Peace to Terri, Bindi and Bob.
It's so sad to see someone so full of life die so young. :( I really liked his work and respected him because he loved the, so called unloveable animals.
I wasn't a huge fan of Irwin's...
I just heard a story of a rescue he made in Mexco of a lost suba diver....
While Tom CRuise helps a motorist and Indiana Jones locates a lost hiker....
I understand, now, the job of a good publicist.

Hero or Samaritan?
A man, far above what I will ever achieve.
It is pretty sad. Out of all things, it had to be a stingray that killed Steve, not a crocodile.. Wow.. I am still in disbelief. I know he was truely a crazy guy but he LOVED what he was doing.
Nothing like starting the day with a good cry :(Quote:

Here's the most detailed article I've come across.

I am still thinking of this tragedy several times a day, and, wanted to share this quote. This Earth cries for the loss it's suffered.
When it comes time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.

:( Starting the afternoon with a good cry isn't bad either! Beautiful words - thank you for sharing.Quote:
