our heartfelt condolences go out to terri bindi and bob. steve was a great personality to watch and will be greatly missed. hard to believe he is gone. may you fly with the angels. Wade and Kelly in CO
My family is truly saddened for the Irwin family. When I heard the news, I was devistated. In today's world or poor influence that is offered through television, "The Crocodile Hunter" and Discovery have given my family hope that there still exist ethics and integrity in television programming. Steve Irwin demonstrated ethics and integrity through every program (whether an episode or an interview) and brought untold moments of laughter into my household and amongst friends. Often times I would give a crack at imitating him while handling...the family pet... maybe a ferocious Gardner Snake...and my kids would absolutely come unglued at the seams. We will miss him greatly and appreciate everything that he and his family have shared with us. Steve will NEVER be replaced. He will live on in all of our hearts forever!
With all of the love and prayers we can muster,
Brian, Wendy, Madi and Augi Willmon Bend, Oregon. USA
I didn't believe it at first when I was told about the tragic accident. It just seems strange that he's gone. My condolences goes out to the Irwin family. I will keep you all in my prayers. Steve was a great man and will be greatly missed. Cherita, USA

We are saddened by the loss of Steve. He has been a part of our family from the very beginning on Animal Planet.

I would just like to express my deep sadness and deepest heart felt condolences to Terri, Bindi, and Bob Irwin as well as the rest of Steve's staff. I have been watching his shows for years and seen him dodge and get out of some extremely sticky situations... It is a great shock to learn that he has passed away... I am deeply and truely sorry... Rebecca
I want to say how sad I am and the world must be over the loss of Steve Erwin. I was as I am sure everyone was to hear of his death. Let all of us do our part to carry on his work in his memory. God speed Steve.
my children and myself are both shocked and deeply saddened by the untimely loss of such a great man. we extend our heartfelt condolences to terri, bindi, bob and the rest of steve's 'family'. we have been watching steve's shows for many years and feel as though we have lost a dear friend.
I understand how you feel; I am crying right now, too. I am 8-years-old and your dad/husband was my greatest hero. Bindi, you will have to tell Bob how cool your Dad was because I bet he was the best dad in the world. I wish I had a dad like him.
I am so sorry and we will think of you Bayleigh (8-years-old, Indiana)
Terry, Bindy and Bob...I'm so very sorry for your loss. Steve had become a "virtual" member of our family and was on our televsion all the time. I loved to watch crocodile hunter and the crock diaries. I am so heartbroken that he is gone. The greatest quality about Steve was his humor, the love for his family and the passion he had for the animals of Australia. I know that God works all things for good and I can only hope that Terry, Bindi and Bob will carry on his legacy of animal awareness and conservaion. Please know that you all are in my prayers.
Shocked and in mourning. My thoughts and prayers are with Terri and the kids. Steve was a one-off and an inspiration to millions - including myself. My best friends son adores him, gets up early to watch whilst giggling and laughing over his bowl of coco pops! I haven't encountered a child who doesn't love the man. Perhaps that will be one of his legacys, to enrich childrens lives with his love of nature and give them the confidence to pursue their dreams. I'll miss you, rest in peace.
With Much Love from Laurie, Belfast, Northern Ireland

MY FAMILY'S VERY DEEPEST,HEARTFELT CONDOLENCES FOR HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS. HE WILL BE TRULY MISSED. THE KIRBY FAMILY
Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to the Irwin family and all who were close to Steve. He was obviously a man of passion who brought great joy to those around him as well as those of us glued to the screen anxious to watch his next move.
I will always have great memories of several instances with friends and family charading our own versions of Steve's adventures. "Danger Danger!!" "Did you see the fangs on that beautie? Crikey!" "If you're not careful with this croc she'll take you right under for a death roll!"
We love the entertainment that he provided, the example that he set and the man that he will always be.
What an AMAZING thing...to be able to accomplish in life what he has! To the family, I send my deepest condolences. I am so sorry for your loss of a son, husband, father & friend. I have watched and supported his efforts for over 10 years - and it was because of him that I formed the conservation beliefs I cherrish today. If he made an impact on me, think of all of the others he passed this wonderful trait to!! Even though he is no longer with us in this world, his spirit will live on through his dreams of what he wanted to accomplish with the Austrailian Zoo & other conservation efforts through his friends, family, and co-workers.
Deepest condolences to Steve's family and friends... Will always remember the knowledge Steve has passed into me... Crocodile Hunter spirit stays on... FOREVER STEVE IRWIN!!!

I was very saddened to hear the news that Steve Irwin - THE Crocodile Hunter had passed away this morning. My heart and best felt wishes go to the beautiful family that he left behind. Steve was and will forever be one of God's finest creatures and Terri can be very proud to be the one that caught him.
May his fantastic work be carried on by his family and friends. He will be watching over you.
All of our condolences to Terri, Bindi, Bob, and the rest of his friends and family.
Though we never met him, we felt like we knew him. He was a great man and did great work. Thank you for everything Steve. We hope his work continues even without him. We loved watching all of his shows and even the movie.
Crikey! One man's amazing, albeit, short lifetime has made such an impact on this planet, imagine what all of us working together can do.
I feel very sad for the loss of Steve, a man to whom I admired and I will continue admiring. I will pray for its family, hoping that they find consolation soon. Steve must be remembered, be admired and mainly, he must be taken like an example of a good human being.
My family and I would like to send Teri, Bindi Sue and Bob, our most sincere condolences. Our prayers go to you and the children, and may the great father comfort you in this tragic time of enormous loss. The world has lost a great protector of the animals and enviroment. Our planet is so sacred and fragile, he so wanted to save it all for his children and the worlds children. Our hearts are deeply heavy with sorrow by your loss. May Peace be with you.
Steve was one of this planet's greatest diplomats of natural conservation. We can only hope that his message will be heeded by all of humanity in hopes of respecting and saving our natural world. Steve's gift of education will span generations and influence many yet to be born. He will be greatly missed by those of us who appreciated that talent and love. My heartfelt condolences to the Erwin family and all who were close to him. His life was a gift to us all.
I just had to write and join this forum on behalf of my twin to, to offer our sincere condolences about Steves Passing. I never even met Steve but have watched him since he first was broadcast. Its so unbelievably sad. Steve was a wonderful guy who obviously loved his family with his whole heart. Terri, Bindi and Bob and Steves family and friends,I wish there was something more I could say and offer. Just know that you have the love of millions people who are thinking of you and are mourning the loss of a wildlife warrior and Family man. No one will ever replace him. I felt like I knew Steve and his family as Im sure millions of others did to. It is tragic. I will miss his humour, his love for animals and his ideals on how to love and respect his friends and family. We will always remember you and pass down our memories to our children to ensure your legacy and what you and your family, Terri, Bindi, Bob,your dad, Wes, Kelsey, Briano and everyone elses work and effort is not in vain. Goodbye Steve. Always remembered, Never forgotten. Liz and Kate USA and England x
I find it impossible to express the loss I feel in Steve's passing. The world has lost a great man who taught us so much(I still hate snakes, but thanks for teaching us about them, Steve!) My greatest sadness is that Bindi and Bob will miss out on so much without Steve, but I know Terri and all his friends and family at the Australian Zoo(and around the world) will continue his teachings of Animal Conservation and Respect. Stay strong, Terri! He'll always be with you! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
To Terry, Bindy, Bob, Mr. Irwin (Steve's Dad) and his Australia Zoo family: I am saddened and shocked to hear of Steve's passing. I started watching The Crocodile Hunter during my many hospital stays in 2001 and it was the highlight of my days. Steve's enthusiasm for the welfare of all animals on this planet was contagious. His love for Terry and his kids showed on his face and in his manner. My sympathies to Terry and the kids, his dad and his zoo family.
Steve, we will miss your infectious smile and exploits. I know that you are now with Suey and all your other animal friends in Heaven.
May God comfort those that Steve has left behind.
In sympathy and prayer, Sheila Carter, Independence, MO USA
So very, very sorry for the Irwin Family's loss- words cannot express my own absolute sorrow over this unfathomable loss. Please know that many,many people are praying for and grieving with you. Mr. Irwin has been a true inspiration, a 'Voice for the Voiceless', and I am just crushed by the fact that he is now apart from his beautiful, beautiful Family. Sincerest Condolences from Gerry and Mary Beth. Our hearts go out to you.
I am deeply saddened by the loss of such a wonderful human being. He was taken from his family and the world way too soon and we will all remember what he gave to us, through his exuberance and enthusiasm for animal life. I have always admired his work and his passion, and my heartfelt sympathies go out to his family. I will pray for his family and will always remember him as a genuinely good human being. I hope the little I can do through the Irwin family tribute may help and condole them.
We would like to extend our sincere condolences to Terri, Bindi, & Bob. Plus all the people that worked with Steve. We are shocked and deeply saddened by Steve's untimely death. Our children adored him and his shows. God Bless you all. We will be praying for you.
My deepest sympathy goes out to Terri, Bindi, Bob Irwin and the rest of his family and friends at the Australia Zoo.I am A huge fan of Steve and Terri. He brought us so much in learning about the animals of the world but at the same time made it humorous and interesting. I hope Steve's message to preserve animal life will life on in the hearts of all of his fans. I know it will in mine.
My husband and I send our thoughts and prayers to Steve's family and friends at this difficult time. Steve was a larger than life person with a great heart for all creatures. He will be greatly missed by people around the world. Rest in peace, Steve.

I would like to pay my condolences tor Steves wife,Bindi and son Bob. My nephews and I love watching Steve "The Crocodile Hunter" on tv. When ever it was on we sat and watched it for the hour it was on and my nepeww were always waiting for another hour for it to come on again. I am also a big fan of his I still watch it when I get home from work from 3-4 on animal planet. I read it in the Sacramento Bee this morning Monday Sept 4th. I would like to pay my condolences to Steves family and the family at the Australia zoo, and to his best friend and mate WES. Amy Mcgarvey from Rancho Cordova.
I was deeply shocked when I heard of the death of Steve. I want to speak my condolences to Terry, the children and close friends of Steve. To give then wisdom and strenght in this difficult time. Steve will live on in our memories and hearts.
Steve thanks for the educational and funny times you gave.
Oh how our hearts were shocked and saddened by the death of Steve. Like untold millons, we deeply enjoyed the programs and adventures of Steve and his family and his passing has made our hearts heavy. Steve's general zest for life is but one aspect of many, that we will fondly remember.
May God's peace and comfort rest upon you all today, and in the coming months.
I just saw the sad news. There just aren't any words to describe the shock. I didn't know Steve, but I feel like I've lost a close friend. I keep the TV on Animal Planet almost all the time, and I watch Steve in Croc Diaries at 6:00 nearly every day. My heart goes out to his family. The world is an emptier place without him.
THE KIRBY FAMILY
My greatest sadness is that Bindi and Bob will miss out on so much without Steve, but I know Terri and all his friends and family at the Australian Zoo(and around the world) will continue his teachings of Animal Conservation and Respect. Stay strong, Terri! He'll always be with you! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
