Like many others here I would like to express my condolences to teh Irwin family. I lost my brother last year in an accident and know the pain you must be feeling at this time.
The happiness that Steve provided us over the years made him immortal. We will never hear the word "Crikey" without thinking of him. He was our 7pm family time. My son even had him on his birthday cake this year. You have millions of fans and people out here who love you and the memory of your husband. He will live on in our hearts.

My deepest sympathy go'es out to Irwin family he was a good man that done wounderful things for the animal kingdom he was a delight to watch. I still can not belive that he has gone but he will never be forgotten and I am sure that his wife and children will continue with the wounderful work that he started. I have never met him in person but I have shed many a tear for him .Rest in peace steve and thankyou for sharing your life with so may wounders of the world and opening so many of our eyes to the beauty of nature.

Terri, Bindi, Bob, and the rest of the Irwin family, my thoughts and prayers are with you all. I cannot imagine the pain that you are all experiencing right now, but be comforted in knowing that Steve-O left this world a better place than what it was when he found it. Also take heart in the knowledge that he most likely would not have wanted to go out in any other fashion! Even though I never got the opportunity to meet him face-to-face, I feel like I have lost a dear friend. I will be mourning with you for a long time, as I am sure others will as well. I know that any words that I say cannot take away your pain, but know that I will always remember your Steve, and he will always be an inspiration to the entire world to live life to the fullest!

Our sincere sympathy to the Irwin family in their loss of a wonderful family man and a well-loved person. Steve Irwin came into our homes thru his wonderful informative programs and soon became a part of our family. We feel like we have lost one of our own, and it is so difficult to realize that he has been taken from us. We pray for Terri, Bindi, little Bob, and Steve's Dad to help them get beyond this terrible loss in their lives. May they know that they are being thought of by so many, as so many people loved Steve Irwin and his entire family. May God bless you all as you continue his life through all of the memories he left each and every one of you. He is truly a one-of-a kind person and we'll miss him terribly.

To the family , my condolence to all of you. Steve was a great fan in family and we injoyed watching him. He taught all of many things about wild animals that I love so dearly. We will miss see him and all of you. We hope that our tears can heal all the pain that your heart is feeling. We would of love to meet you all in person someday but time will tell.

yours truly from Ohio

To Terri and the entire Irwin family, please accept my deepest sympathies. The world is truly poorer place for the loss of such a wonderful human being. I learned so much about all kinds of animals from Steve. I think the thing I'll remember most, however, is the exhuberence and enthusiasm he put into whatever he was talking about. How rare it is for someone to really love what he's doing, and furthermore, to inspire that love in others? Steve was just amazing, and I still can't believe he's gone. My thoughts and prayers are with Terri and the family. I pray that time will heal their wounds, but I know that will never happen completely. I just hope that we will all remember how much joy and wonder Steve brought into our lives, and be satisfied with those memories.

my condolences to steves family and friends . he will be missed.

My name is Naara, am writing from Texas, And I just want to say to Terry Irwin that I know that nothing that we might say or do is going to make you feel better, but I can asure you that Steve is there with you, with Bindi and with Baby Bob, and I know you know this because Im sure that you can feel him watching over you and your childs, God loves Steve so much that He wanted him next to him, Peace in your heart is next to come.

My family's love,thoughts and prayers go out to Terry, Bindi, Baby Bob and Bob Irwin as well all the staff and crew at Australia Zoo. May God hold you all in the palm of his hand and give you all the comfort that can possibly be given and that He will strengthen and encourage you all in the days to come.
We feel like we have lost a member of our family too. He was a larger than life person but he always seemed to be personally talking to me everytime I watched him. He never seemed an unapproachable celebrity. He was the very one who convicted me and made me want to pursue my own dream of working with wildlife.
I am starting school soon and want to become a herpitologist. My son Declan is now 8 and since he was about 5, it has been his one consuming passion to "meet Steve Irwin and work with him side by side." When he learned that Steve was gone, he just cried and cried.
I am so sorry for your loss and I just wanted to let the Irwin family know just how much of an impact Steve has had and will continue to have on my family's lives!! His enthusiasm and passion for wildlife and life itself will be so dearly missed!
From the Hale Family in Dahlonega Georgia, we love you and support you with our prayers!!!
We Love You Steve!!
Crocs Rule!!!

Terri, Bindi, little Bob, Bob, to also the rest of his family and friends.
Steve has touched so many of our hearts. I am so so sorry for the loss of Steve especially for his family and friends. It is going to be hard but please try and be strong for each other. There will be sorrow but just try and think he is in a wonderful place right now. I will pray for all of you especially his family and those dear to him, even the animals I am sure feel something. I loved Steve even if only being a big fan of his. He was a unique and genuine person never mind also being a big personality out there. I believe what they say about him what you see is what you get with him. I would have loved to have met him, I thought someday that my husband and I would take a trip out to Australia so we could meet the crocodile hunter and his lovely family.
As a wild life lover myself I thought of Steve as a wonderful, giving, funny, enthusiastic, sensitive, adventurous, passionate, handsome, and true to the heart kind of a man. I could see all this on interviews and in his shows. He had an understanding with wildlife out there on the field. He really was to me like Tarzan there will never ever be another like him ever again. Terri you were the love of his life you could just see it every time you were together and Bindi sweet little girl she was her Fathers precious daughter and as for the addorable little Bob you could see the pride in Steve's eyes about his baby boy, and he will grow up to remember him as a wonderful Man and Father from all of you keeping his memory alive. His Father Bob, you could see how proud Steve was to be your son and his Mothers son. All will be in my prayers, but please know that he is and always will be safe where he is right now keep faith in that and I hope it can help some of your pain. Again sorry I do not know what I can do but I wish that we could turn back time. I am sure that the kids will follow in there Dad's footsteps for the love of him and his animals. It seems as Bindi has her Dad's personality when I have seen her talk about her Dad she loves him so. Keep strong you are all in my thoughts. Love Sincerely Juliet and Rob D'Antonio CT, USA

My wife and I were shocked to learn of Steve's tragic passing. Never before have I been so excited about watching shows about animals. I probably never will be again, either. Steve was one of a kind. He will be dearly missed. I am so sorry that he is gone. The world has lost a truly great man.

Terri, Bini and Bob;
I pray for you everyday. I cry for you everyday. I think I may even cry for me. I know I didn't know Steve personally but I do feel like he has been a part of our family since the first time we saw him on television. Steve was a wonderful teacher and a funny man. When I read of his passing I cried. I immediately thought of you three and prayed that you would be at peace with what happened. I cannot imagine losing my husband/father. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. I think about you everyday.
Love and Prayers with you all.
Jennifer

My family and I wanted to add our heart-felt sympathy. We are keeping Steve's wife, Terri and his children Bindi and Bob in our prayers as well as his dad and friends and staff at Australia Zoo. The world is a better place because of the impact he made. His legacy will continue through the lives he touched by his exciting personality and enthusiasum for wild things. We will miss you, "Mate".

Terri,
I wanted to tell you that I am so, so sorry for your loss. I know nothing can make this better for you and your family. I also wanted to share with you that I loved Steve's show and every night when I got the chance to watch it I was there! I'm a person who rarley crys,but I must tell you this made me cry. I am so sad for you and your family. God bless you all and my prayers are with you all.

It was a complete shock to hear of Steve Irwins death.My families first reaction was that someone had got the news wrong.He was always so much bigger than life.His connection with animals and people was nothing less than a miracle.Steve, his family and extended family, brought more attention to conservation than anyone else has managed to do.Personally, I have never grieved so much for anyone outside my own family.If I am feeling this so hard, I can only imagine how his family is handling this tradegy!To Teri,Bindi,Bob,his Dad,sister and all the extended family at the zoo, Please know that all our thoughts and prayers are with you.We grieve with you and STEVE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED!!!!WE LOVED HIM TOO!!!

With sympathy in the loss of your beloved husband and father. He truly loved all animals. He reminded me of a mischievious little boy with his enthusiasm and fearlessness. The world will miss the beautiful person that Steve Irwin was. He was an inspiration to all. May time ease your pain; my thoughts and prayers go out to you and your children.

Our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Steve. We are all grieving his passing. He will be greatly missed. God bless you all.

My husband and I would like to send our condolences to the Irwin family and friends. We have been fans and felt like friends from the beginning of the broadcast. Being raised on a farm in Indiana, I very much respected and loved all animals and even though my animals weren't as ferocious as Crocs,snakes and such, some of them were very unpredictable and I respected them as such. I felt I had a kindred spirit in Steve and will miss him as much as the 2 parents that I lost this past year. Both Steve and my Dad taught me how to love all animals. GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU! Love, Tony and Diane Gaynor

Terri, Bindi, Baby Bob, Bob (Steve's Dad), and the entire Zoo staff....Me and my family are so very sorry to hear of the loss of Steve, we watched his show all the time, and will greatly miss him! My God be with everyone of you and give you strength to get through this terrible time. God Bless you all!

My husband and I extend our heartfelt condolences to the Irwin Family and all the extended "Family" who work at the Australia Zoo. There are no words to make this loss any easier. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. I know my husband and I will miss seeing him. We always enjoyed the shows and I know I for one learned a lot about different animals from watching his shows. Take care. Charlie & Jim Enos, Las Cruces NM

My family & I just wanted to express our deepest sympathies to Terri, Bindi, Bob & the entire Irwin family. We feel as though Steve was part of our family. We have enjoyed many hrs of Crocodile adventures. We will miss him greatly. I know his legacy will live on.

When I first heard Steave had been in an accedent I just couln't belileve what I was hearing. It was so uppsetting , I felt sorry for Irwin Family and friends. I feel terriblie sorry for Terri,Bindi, Baby Bob, Wes , Jodie,Jai, Kelly Everybody at Australia zoo. The Irwin family and there friends are in my prayers.

To Terri, Bindi, Bob, and the Irwin family.

I was very saddened to hear the news of Steve's death. My husband, son, and I have always been huge fans of your family. You have my deepest sympathy and my prayers. Steve might have been an ordinary bloke, but he had such an extraordinary gift. We will always remember Steve and his legacy will never leave us.

My family sat down to watch the croc. hunter in action and saw reruns??? I asked my wife if she had heard anything about him. So she went to the computer and looked it up while my 11 y.o. daughter and I watched t.v. to see if anything would come up saying something. She came back in with a look of shock. "Steve is dead." My daughter was in tears. He was a big influence in her life and the drive for her thirst for knowlage. Now more then anything she wants to work with animals and help them out as a vet., animal cop., or conservationist! I am glad that he had a great impact on her and hope that I can keep the ball rolling.
I am not in real good shape to do very many things and watching him on t.v. was a way that I could live and do things that I can't. My wife has been keeping up with what is going on in the news with him and keeping the rest of the family updated.
Even one of our cats sat on the couch and watched t.v. for a bit. Till the memorial pic. came up with the date. He lowered his head, turned arround, layed down, and sighed really big. I think that even the animals mourn the loss of him.
From one Steve to another... We will always miss you and what you have done for the wildlife all over the planet and look forward to see your kids run with the ball!

I always enjoyed watching Steve and his enthusiasm for animals. He was just so geniune and there was never any doubt about his and Terri's commitment to their work. They showed us all sides of the struggle of life, not just the cute and fuzzy. I'm a grown man of 32 years, and I cried like a baby when he showed the whales dying on the beach and his own dog being put down. They didn't just show what we *wanted* to see, they showed us what we *needed* to see.

Steve brought us right up close to animals we didn't appreciate before and millions of us now know the beauty of the "ugly" animals. I still have no desire to meet a crocidile in the wild, but I understand the need to keep them around.

I haven't felt sad about a celebrity passing away since Stevie Ray Vaughan. But, when someone who is so geniune, such a master, and contributed so much leaves us you just feel the loss to the world. The only thing more tragic than that, of course, is the loss to his family and friends.

Thanks, Steve. You'll be missed.

My deepest sympathy to Terry, Bindi, Bob Jr. and Sr. We loved Steve in my house and we mourn him deeply. My son is five and we pray every night for his family and friends so that they can get through this tough time feeling the love that so many feel for them. For a year my son has wanted to be a crocodile hunter because of Steve's show. My son even begged us to go see a crocodile hunter at the Micossucci Indian Village here in Florida. He loved it. I thank Steve for lighting our lives with his passion for animals and for letting us into his life. We miss him more than you can ever imagine.

I've never met Terri or her children but I have watched as everyone else has the wild and crazy antics of her Beautiful husband and like many people around the world fell in love with this man and his passion for life, for all of God's animals.I thought I was the only crazy middle aged woman to feel this way but I am not! Terri, your husband was the most "Special" and Beautiful person this world has had the rare and very wonderful privilege of getting to know through all his hard work with animals. He taught me and my family to love all of God's animals and that they too have a purpose in this life and should be treasured. Your husband left a Great legacy to you, to your children and to the world. Let it comfort you that people all over the world grieve with you and your family and you are all kept in our prayers for you.Never has a man been so loved for so much that he has given us all.Keep strong and know that although we are strangers and will probably never meet I am thinking of you and I know that you will all come thru this. May the Lord watch over you all.Love you!!

we as canadian indians here in canada had nothing but the highest respect for a man who as we believe that all wild life on this planet deserve to live there lives as they were meant to and if more people could see life thru his eyes we would all be better for it. thank you steve for sharing your remarkable in sights with us

No words can take away your pain, you will never replace him, you will never forget him, and although the hurt will fade in time, you will miss him every day of your life. Get support where you can and don't be afraid to ask for help. Be thankful you had him in your life and that he gave you 2 beautiful children. Never stop talking about him to your kids, your memories of him keep him alive in your hearts forever. You will get through this, you are a strong person, but remember to take time for yourself. I am sure you are terrified at what to do with your life without Steve, but he will be there for you as long as you need him to be, in your heart. You must eventually go on with your life, and not live in the past, when you are ready to let it go. When that time comes, do not feel guilty. Know that Steve loves you and wants you to be happy, no one should be alone, and you deserve happiness, and your children will benefit in your happiness. There is never any fairness in death. I am truly sorry for you and your families loss, I do not need to tell you how great of a man he was, for you know more than anyone.

With deepest sympathies

Steves passion was so obvious that it rubbed off on everyone else. My entire family bought into the Croc Hunter.

We are, to put it really simply, VERY VERY SAD.

If we miss him so much, if his untimely passing made us cry, then we seriously cannot begin to imagine the pain of those who were closest to him. You have our most sincere condolences.

This is but one of thousands of messages here. I know that there are many more like it.

Steve, we will miss you mate, you made your mark on the world.

Steve was a truly amazing and inspiring man. We as a world are truly at a loss. He will be greatly missed by our family, and we send our thoughts and prayers to his.

The Coffey Family

Steve taught us all to love and respect All animals , not just cute cuddly ones.He was part entertainer , part educator and all conservasionist.Truly one of a kind.The entire world mourns the loss of this energetic,enthusiastic wildlife warrior.As he entered our lives via his shows , we all feel we knew him even though we have never met.He was real ,never fake , just being Steve.And we watched as Terri came into his life and heart, so did she come into ours. this tough, brave, courageous young woman wrestling crocs right alongside her husband, a truly amazing site!Now we are all grateful for her strength, praying for her and the entire Irwin family, and everyone at the Australia Zoo.He was truly a national treasure and an inspiration for animal lovers and conservasionists everywhere.As the world mourns this tragic huge loss , our thoughts ,condolences and prayers for Terri,Bindi, Bob and baby Bob,everyone at the Australia Zoo and all his extended family of conservasionists the world over are never ending.His legacy will live forever in our hearts and minds.And we will all be forever grateful for the awareness he has raised the world over like no other before him, and for all the evenings spent mesmerized and totally entertained in front of our tv's watching this incredible , amazing man.We hope and pray the Irwin family will somehow be able to overcome this truly shocking tragic loss and find strength and comfort in knowing the entire world is mourning with them.Someday I will visit the Australia Zoo , and hope to see Terri and the children carrying on the torch of conservation.For now , I urge everyone who was touched by Steve's life to donate to his cause the WILDLIFE WARRIORS FUND , it is the least we can do for someone who literally devoted and gave his life to global conservation.

DEAR IRWIN FAMILY- I WATCHED MY MATIE STEVE FOR MANY YEARS. HE SHOWED THE WORLD THAT WE CO-EXIST WITH THE ANIMALS. HE WAS THEIR VOICE. BE PROUD OF THE WORK HE HAS DONE- IT WILL GO ON FOREVER. AS HE LOOKS DOWN ON YOU, LOOK FOR THE SIGNS. HIS SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON FOREVER,AND HE'LL LET YOU KNOW HE IS NEAR. MAY PEACE BE IN YOUR HEARTS, KNOWING THAT HE IS TENDING NOW TO GODS FLOCK. GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU. DOREEN & ANGELIKA HOUSTON TX

To the Irwin Family,

We've always been huge animal lovers. We admired Steve for his spunk, enthusiasm, and especially for his conservationism.

We're so sorry for your loss.
Jen and Darrell

Sometimes we are given a gift. A gift in the form of one human being that garners the attention of masses around the world. This person has the ability to hear and to share what the rest of us can't due to pride and insecurity. This person collects a following and even in the most remote of places in society's heart, we all feel that person's presence somehow.

Sometimes that gift is taken from us. The loss cannot be ignored by anyone. It's felt as a loss for the human species.

Steve was a gift to us. He was a prize for the world. The loss is felt in every human heart because something innate knows that we felt better with him in the world. It gave us comfort knowing that he was at the helm of an aspect of our world that needed attention. We knew that when called upon, he'd attend his matter with dignity and courage.

With him gone, we hurt because we realize that we've lost a great commander and we have to deal with the issues that he charged alone. We have lost our Wildlife Captain when we didn't want to. Somehow in his larger than life persona we didn't believe he could leave.

We feel deflated. Like the air has escaped. There is no way he will be forgotten. His missions and examples will be emulated by humans forever. Our grandchildren will know who he was right along with greats such as Thomas Edison and Princess Diana. But he carried his mission without sensationalism no matter how hard some of us tried to tear him down.

To his family, I can't imagine the grief you're dealing with. I can only be thankful that you are still among us to help us all remember that he was as wonderful a human being as you knew him to be. And know that you have legions of people who await your beckoned call. This tragedy makes us all feel like family to you.

Respectfully,

We are saddened by the loss of a Great man...He will be missed by all whose lives he touched...All who watched his shows have grown to respect reptiles etc because of Steve Irwin...Much love to the Wife and children he leaves behind...

My son Noah is a big fan of Steve's. He wants to come work in the Australia zoo when he is older. He is 8 yrs. old. Steve will be greatly missed in our household. Our prayers are with his family. Especially for Bindi and Bob.

I was totally shocked to hear of his passing. Being a mother myself, my heart goes out to Terry and the kids. He seemed to be a great guy and did so much for animals and people everywhere. You will truely be missed.

It's seems like it was just yesterday when we, the world, were introduced to this enthusiastic young man who was crazy enough to play with crocodiles, kiss lizards, toads and snakes and build a dream into one of the world's largest zoos with his own hands. I never thought that we would actually have to face the fact that Steve would come to his demise by a stingray ...we always thought that if anything fatal should happen to him it would have been by a "Croc" or one of the many snakes or poisonous lizards that Steve handled and was famous for by "Kissing this georgous creature". If only Steve would have left the stingray's tail in him for just maybe long enough that doctors could have been able to prevent his heart from "bleeding out"..just maybe we would still have him here.
I never cried over anyone famous other than John Lennon and John F. Kennedy...but I bawled my eyes out over Steve Irwin. Steve will always be alive in my heart as he gave more to humanity by being just who he was due to his love of animals and life. His enthusiasm to continue to learn more about our wonderful planet and the life that is upon it was refreshing.
To Steve, may god wrap you tightly in his arms and keep your spirit alive in every animal on the earth, we will sorely miss you.

To Dearest Terri, Bindi and Little Bob, may you find peace in knowing that Steve died doing what he loved best, and that he gave every bit of his energy in doing so too. I weep for your loss, but I laugh knowing you had the chance to be close to this funny, funny man who kissed gators, snakes and lizards. I wish I would have been so lucky to have known him myself personally.
Holly Hoyt

I want to express my deepest heartfelt condolences to Terri, Bindi, Bob, Robert, Wes, and all Steve's other friends and family, human and otherwise. We were crushed by the news of his death and it still seems unreal to us. My two children have been watching him and loving him since they were babies, and we still have a habit of watching him together after school even though they are in Jr. High now. He was larger than life. I admire so much what he has accomplished around the world and how he has inspired so many, of all ages, to conservation and awareness and a genuine love of our animal friends. He will be so sorely missed. My heart goes out to Terri and the children, and the family. My prayers and thoughts are with you. Steve's spirit will live on in so many and so his mission of conservation will continue.
Be at peace Steve, we love you.

I would like to offer my deepest sympathy to Terri,Bindi,Bob and the entire Irwin family. My two sons love to watch Steve ever since they were born and my oldest wants to be just like.
him. Steve will live on in our hearts and minds for the work that he has done and the many of children and adults alike that he has educated about wildlife and nature. Steve will be missed by everyone whose life he touched and by those he educated .

I heard the news as it was breaking news on breakfast tv.
I was and still am gobsmacked. I cannot believe this has happened.
As everyone says, we thought he was invincible. But he died doing what he does best. Event though it is still hard to believe.

Our thoughts and prayers are with Terri, Bindi, young Bob and Bob senior, and not forgetting all the staff at The Zoo.

Rest in Peace Steve. The world is a sadder place without you.

I would like to say that I have never seen a person so excited and passionate about what they enjoyed doing like Steve. To me I think this is the saddest thing to happen since Princess Diana's death. Terri, at least you have some very precious moments and memories with Steve and your children together, and you can always replay the videos ya'll have shot for future knowledge for your children to cherish of their daddy. You are in my thoughts. Debbie G from MS

Our family would like to offer our sincerest condolences to Steve's family, colleagues and friends. He was an amazing man with a deep passion for his work and he will be sorely missed. He was truly one of a kind. Rest In Peace, Steve.
