Dear Terri and family; I was very sad to hear in the loss of Steve. What a unique individual he was! My favorite shows were not of him wrangling a croc, or dodging a snake, but of the times when he spoke of the love his family, from you, to his parents and the children. To see tears flow down his cheeks after the birth of his children was priceless, as were the times he spoke so fondly of his mother and of her passing. Please know that Steve was loved by many, and will be sorely missed by all. What passion he had for so many things!
I just wanted to send my most heartfelt condolences to Terri, Bindi, Baby Bob, Robert Irwin and the rest of the Australia Zoo Family. It's hard to believe that Steve is gone and I know that the world has lost another great human being. He was a loving son, husband and father, and conservationist and cared deeply for the planet as well as being a "wildlife warrior." Robert Irwin, thank you for being his teacher and mentor, you did a great job and Steve loved having you there to help him. We can always remember Steve Irwin, by carrying on his legacy, and doing everything we can to protect and preserve wildlife for all future generations. This was Steve's mission. Now, it is our turn (along with his family) to carry his torch and fulfill that mission. CROCS RULE!! Janice, Cartersville, Ga
My Family truly wishes to express our deepest condolences to the Entire Steve Irwin Family and Zoo Staff. I am sure you were all part of a large, loving, family group. What Steve left behind is the legacy which holds the key to keeping our world in a condition that will benefit all of us for generations to come. Lets continue to live by his code! With Love and Sympathy
[quote]Post[/quote] To Terri and Family My family and I are very, very sorry to hear about the passing of your husband. He will be surely missed. What a legacy he has left behind..you should be very, very, very proud of your husband. He has touched so many hearts and the education he shared about his animals and the love is something very special. What a special person. How Proud you must be! Keep these wonderful memories alive for not only you but those two beautiful children. Think of Steve as walking along side you and your children everyday of your life. The road ahead will be bumpy but just knowing he is right beside you should bring you so much comfort. I know everytime I see a tiger,elephant,lion,crockodile I will always think of Steve and how courageous and entertaining he was...and how he treasured every moment of his life. What a wonderful man, I wish I could have known him personally. Again, hold him close to your heart and he will always be with you and your children. The Orlando Family from Las Vegas
Dear Terry, I know you are overwhelmed with email and probably won't see this. I just want to say my heart aches for you, Bindi and Bob. Just always remember this Terry, you've experienced more love, caring, experiences and adventures with Steve than most couples experience in a lifetime. Steve was truly a special and gifted man, and he will be eternally missed. Much love to you, your family and his dad. Ned in Florida
I would like to send my love and prayers to Steve's family,friends,and fans. Steve was greatly loved in my family even though we never met him. I feel deep regret for his children to be robbed of their father and how much he was yet to teach them but I strongly beleive Terri, Bob, and the rest of the gang will do their very best to keep Steve's passion alive ! As I have heard Terri say in a show about when she first met Steve that she never thought as a croc the way Steve showed passion towards them , but hey he changed things for alot of us because I think they are wonderful creatures now (Thanks To Steve). Anyway there is nothing I can say that hasn't been said already so I will leave it at that. The Croc Hunter will be missed but the legacy will live on because CROCS RULE MATE!!! god bless Cindy from Indiana usa
Just wanted to express my families sincere sympathy to Steve's family. He was an awesome man one of a kind and will be sorely missed by many, May God comfort you all through this difficult time in life and hold you in his arms.
My son and I,just wanted to express our deepest sympathy to the IRWIN FAMILY,and THE AUSTRALIA ZOO.The world has lost a GREAT MAN! STEVE IRWIN WILL LIVE IN OUR HEARTS 4EVER! TERRI,BINDI SUE,LITTLE BOB,THE IRWIN FAMILY, AND STEVES FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF THE AUSTRALIA ZOO-YOU ARE ALL IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
Words can not express my sadness upon learning that Steve had passed away. I had just returned home after visiting my parents, when I decided to go to my computer to check the latest news. The first story I read was that Steve had passed away. I was in complete shock. The first thing I did was call my mom--at 1 am. I had to. I felt as if one of my dear friends had passed away. And yet I'd never met Steve in my life. I spent many an evening watching 'The Crocodile Hunter', and to some extent, I felt like I knew him. His zest for life was contagious. And I believe it would be impossible to watch an episode without smiling. There's no doubt he lived every day to its absolute fullest. It saddens me so that he has left his family and friends. You could just tell how much he loved them and how proud of them he was. Terri, Bindi and Bob--I have prayed for you and I will continue to pray for you. If I--someone who had never even met Steve, can feel such sadness--I can not even begin to comprehend your sense of loss. May God bless you and comfort you in this most difficult time.
Mr. Steve Irwin " Crcocodile Hunter" has been a great example of a great human being who loves and understands God's wonderful creations. I am extremely sad about his loss because he is a part of our lives.Thank you for the knowledge that you have passed on to all of us. I express my deep condolences to his family and friends. We love you! From zera, and all of us here in california, usa
I would like to send my deepest condolences to Steve's family and friends. He was a great man I learned so much from his adventures. This is truely a loss for the whole world. But his work will go on through everyone he touched.We will never forget the man who jumped on crocs not to harm them but to show us that they are more than just eating machines and what a beautifull animal they really are. Where ever you are Steve we will all miss you.
Words cannot express my shock and sorrow. My heartfelt condolences go out at this time of great loss to Terri, Bindi, Bob, Steve's Dad and all the rest of the Australia Zoo family as well as extended family and friends.
Steve was bigger than life. With his enthusiasm, passion, compassion, humour and just his zeal for everything, he educated us and entertained us. Millions loved and admired him and felt that he was a close and good friend. With his death a light went out in this world that will never be replaced. He will always remain in our hearts and memories.
I just wanted to express my deepest sympathy to Steves Family. I am a 48 year old man and I cryed like a 2 year old when the news of his passing was announced. I have been watching his shows for so long and have enjoyed him so much I felt like I had truly lost a member of my family. I guess God must have needed someone in heaven to help attend to all his animals so he chose the best person on earth that could do it. I will miss him greatly as will all the rest of his fans but I look forward to seeing him again someday when it comes my time to go. I hope his family can be comforted in knowing that he is surely in a wonderful place now and I am sure is quite a peace.
My heart goes out to Steve's family and his extended faimily at the zoo. Steve will be remembered the way he wanted to be remembered the world over. He devoted his whole life so that crocs and all wild life would be understood and respected. Steve acomplished his life mission and more. He will be greatly missed. My love and condolences to all...Betty
I cannot express the sense of loss I'm sure you're experiencing and still, 2 weeks after his passing, cry for a man I have never met, yet who has touched me and the world in so many ways. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure with us, and letting him open our eyes to ALL creatures' worth. His com/passion and enthusiasm was so contagious, you couldn't help but be drawn in to whatever he was doing. I was so impressed (why I don't know, he was just being himself and I shouldn't have been surprised) when he talked about that the diver he rescued needed a medal, he was the true hero, not Steve who "was just the bloke who helped him off the rock"... what an inspiration for all the world! My husband thinks St. Francis of Assisi (patron saint of the animals) has been "booted out" of the sainthood position by Steve! He definitely got his message across, and it is time for the world to step up and carry his torch for him, and continue what he started. There is much work left to be done, but Steve is the one who made everyone aware of it.
You had the special privilege to share your life with someone who made an impact on the WORLD and was loved by so many, it takes a very special person to handle that, and you helped him be an embassador for all who don't have a voice. He will not have died in vain, his mission will continue, he instilled passion and enthusiasm in us, and though he will always be missed, he will always be with us and his beautiful wildlife... I only wish I could have met him in person, but then, he was part of our family and you all spent quite some time in our living room! You have the sympathy and support of the world, and hope you will continue in his spirit, as he would have wanted. My deepest and most heartfelt sympathy to you all, Susanne Wolf, Golden, Colorado, USA
Steve was truly "the Great One." He will never be replaced in any of our hearts. My prayers and condolences to the family, friends and fans that we may all find some peace as we get familiar with a new "normal". "Croc Hunter", you left a huge space in the world that will be hard to fill.
The first thing I caught of Steve is when he told every animal he touched "your'e ok, your'e ok mate" and just as he rubbed Terri's back in hospital while in labour he said those same words. I am sure he is standing yet again by Terri again using the same words this time she can't hear him..... he has touched our lives and Terri.... you'll be ok! Steve could not get over his mothers death.. we will also not be able to get over his death but we have to go on remembering him and his cause through that he will live on....
Our whole family truly loved Steve Irwin, we enjoyed watching his show with our three chlidren, he always made us laugh and now we are crying for the lose of a wonderful,caring,amazing person whos work with animals gave lots of people a new outlook on animals that no-one would ever have thought about wanting to get to know until they saw Steve with them, he had a way with animals like I have never seen he was the true Doctor Dolittle and he will be greatly missed>>my prayers go out to terry and the children whos father was taken from far too soon.I am truly sorry for their lose and for the lose to everyone who either knew him personally or who just felt as they knew him from watching his shows, he was so excited about every living thing he always brought a smile to my face as I am sure he did for alot of people.
To Terri, Bindi, Bob, and the entire Irwin family our hearts cry for you. It is unimaginable what your family is going through at this time. Know that Steves legacy will live forever through all of us who were brought into your world and have passed it on to our children and they in turn will do the same. I can only imagine that Heaven is getting a real Croc education from the master, and Steve is able to question the creator of the croc and get all the answers he ever imagined. God Bless your family and may your hearts heal and be comforted knowing that your family and Steve were sincerly loved by millions.
To the family and friends and coworkers of Steve. I would like to express my deepest sadness to all of you. Steve was a wonderful "bloke". We watched him with awe on his croc hunts and so on. You could tell he was totally in love with his work, his wife and his children. He is going to be terribly missed for his humour and his actions. What an awful tragedy. My heart goes out to you Terri, your children, Steve's Dad and his coworkers who truly loved him. But imagine, if you will, his happiness upon being reunited with his Mom in heaven. It is hard to understand why people are taken from us, but I hope you find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such a well lived life. So with that said, "May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time" God Bless.... Carol Ann........ Skowhegan, Maine
Steve was truly a wonderful person and a miracle to animal conservation. There isn't one person I could imagine being more full of life than Steve Irwin. Nothing will ever replace the void left by dear Steve. Hopefully, we have all learned from him how to be true wildlife warriors so that we and future generations may carry on his passion and conservation efforts. Forever loved and missed, my heart goes out to Steve Irwin. My prayers and thoughts go out to Teri, Bindi and Bob. May you be blessed and protected. Everyone's support and strenght is with you Teri. Dear Bindi and Bob, may your life be full of adventure and love, though there is the loss of your father. I am more than confident that you will carry on his legacy.
Steve you will never be forgotten, you will never be replaced! Crocs Rule!
Love you and miss you always, mate! Much love and millions of hugs to Teri, Bindi, and Bob!
My thoughts and prayers are with Terri, Bindi, Bob and the rest of their family. My children and I have watched the crocodile hunter for years. My children truly loved to watch Steve wrestle the crocodiles. Steve will be missed.
Hello. My sister cannot stop crying about Steves death, and the loss of a wonderful father of a family of awesome people. I am deeply saddened as well, and I cannot express to the Irwin famiy how much I hurt for them. I am praying for God's love and peace to completely surround you all. May you find strength in Him to carry you through this very tough time! To Terry: There is nothing like a soulmate found, and lost in a time not yet to be, There will never be another man as wonderful to you as Steve. But take your childern and hold them close, for he is in their souls, And everyday you look at them, may you again feel whole. God's comfort and grace may you feel, though you may not understand, Why Steve was taken up so soon to that Heavenly land. God needs people like him, though God did not want this so soon to be, May you have solace knowing that he is watching over you, from now until eternity. You will again see Steve clothed in God's glorious robes, Please let this be your a part of your ultimate guiding hope!
I already have posted before when it first started and which to say that I've been praying for you Terri and your children that you continue to be blessed with wonderful memories...
from Rachel in Holland Michigan
P.S. would love for you to come visit our country...
I miss Steve so much and still get tears in my eyes every time I see him on Animal Planet or hear about his death or see those commercials. I will try and live on his dream and help as much as I can in wildlife conservation more than ever now. I hope we all will now, to make him proud. I wish I was there to hug Terri, Bindi, baby Bob, Wes, etc.
Terri, Bindi, Baby Bob, all the family and the family and staff of the Zoo and shows......... My deepest condolences go out to you all. The world has lost a truely special person, and I know that comes no where near comparing to the loss you are all feeling. Steve was blessed with a special gift, and he was wonderful enough to share it with the entire world, which is now a better place because of him. May he watch over you all and protect you, may Bindi continue to carry on in his footsteps, and Baby Bob come to know just how special his Daddy was. Terri may you find peace and comfort and healing in the days ahead. I've not lost a husband/friend/soul mate to even begin to understand how you are feeling right now, but I have lost a child and I know how difficult that is everyday. My prayers are with you all, as are my tears ..........

It's hard to put feelings into words at a time like this... Steve came into my home with his larger-than-life personality. He was my friend, another soul who wanted to get the word out! Reptiles are great, crocs rule! I felt as though he was part of my family. I loved him very much, and his family, too. He was so proud to introduce them to his tv-family. I can't imagine what a loss that Terri, Bindi, Bob, Mr. Bob Irwin, Wes and all Steve's real-life family are feeling now. It hurts so much to lose him, and I never really met him. That is a tribute to how Steve was able to reach out through television and touch so many people with his wildlife message. Be very proud that he achieved his mission, the reason he was put on this planet. He helped to save wildlife. More importantly to him, he made other people excited about saving wildlife. As Animal Planet says, "We'll miss you mate. We'll take it from here." You'll always be with us in spirit. My love and prayers to the Irwin Family! Amy C. Baird
The world is mourning the death of Steve Irwin, a naturalist, devotee of caring for animals, and most of all, a husband and father. My condolences go out to Terri, Bindi,Bob, and Steve's Dad, and his close friends. They have lost more than an icon--they have lost their beloved Steve. My prayers and thoughts are with you in this terribly sad time!
