R.I.P. Steve Irwin
I feel very saddened today to hear the news that Steve Irwin, that great Aussie icon, has been killed today while diving near Port Douglas - he was killed in a freak accident with a stingray. The "Crocodile Hunter" was one of those bigger than life characters that you either loved or hated ... I was one of those that loved him, and he will be greatly missed by a large number of Aussies and Kiwis. Rest in peace, Steve Irwin - thanks for sharing your love of life and love of the natural world with everyone around the globe ... "Crikey, you'll be missed!"

He will be missed. Such a shock. Crikey is a fitting epitaph :(
How sad was that news? I feel so badly for the kids. my mom died when I was 9 and so did my little baby brother. It is hard to grow up without a parent. Michelle-Ozark crafter
What a better world this would be if everybody shared his love of animals and enthusiasm for conservation. He will be missed greatly, right across the globe.
I think I died a little bit inside when I saw the news yesterday morning. I really loved his energy, passion and enthusiasm for his work. That and the story about how he and his wife met, it just tears me up that he's gone.
Thanks for posting this. He really will be missed. I too appreciated his love and enthusiasm for his life's work.
