To all who loved, respected and even revered Steve Irwin.
What an extrodinary person! We should all be so blessed to have even just an ounce of his dedication, passion and love, not to mention energy! Lets cry to cleanse our spirits, but rejoice in the life of Steve and the legacy he left us. He was an example of respect and protect.Its not "good bye", its "catch ya later, mate."
Dont cry because he is gone...smile because he was here.
Walk in Beauty everyone,
With much love, Crystal and Buster Espinosa

That is a beautiful way to look at this extre mely saddening loss of a wonderful person!

Wow, what a great way to put everything. It's so true, yet you're the first person I know to see it that way. I will remember to smile for him when I watch his shows knowing that that was what he wanted people to get from it, enjoyment. Thank you for sharing your feelings and shining a light when things seem dark.

Steve was my rolemodel and my hero. I am in my second year of college. I am going for Natural Resources/wildlife management. When I was a kid, steve helped me to realize that animals aren't as bad as they seem. I love snakes and lizards. Steve was hero to the animals and people. I will miss him so much, and always have him in my heart. Rest in Peace Steve, you and your hard work will always be remembered.

xalespinosa, he would certainly smile at that, and agree

They say the good die young.

Simply said, but so beautiful. Thank you

I just hope Animal Planet will continue airing his show, children even 100 years from now need a model like him. He's the best person to inspire anyone.

Steve will be greatly missed by all of us. I think god had bigger and better plans for such a powerful man. God needs him in his most fit and most knowlegable form and that happened to be now. He will now beable to help the animals he so much loves with greater power. There are so many powerful people on earth to help the animals so god needed Steve to handle the harder job of helping from above. I send my blessings to Terri, Bindi and Bob. They are strong (may not feel like it now) and I have complete faith in them to keep their heads up and keep moving forward. We were honored to be educated by Steve and his family and hope to continue to see education from his family since they too are so powerful and strong.

Oh Coolpaws...Exactly what I think.
God has bigger plans for Steve.
Well Said!!!
