I have been sitting here for about 45 minutes, in complete shock and disbelief. I turned on the TV and went directly to Animal Planet. Just after that I saw the black screen with Steve Irwins name on it, and the dates 1962-2006.
I have always loved watching Steve Irwins programs and it is so sad to hear of his passing. Animal Planet has a wonderful tribute to Steve Irwin and the work that he has done. My prayers are with his wife, Terri and his children, Bindi and Bob tonight.

i have read this again and again and every report possible but still whenever i read this news, it just grievs the heart in the same way i heard it for the first time
I cant watch Animal Planet tonight. Each time they play the tribute, I start to cry. He was an important person here at my home, and he will be missed here. My children used to plan around Saturday mornings, so that they could watch Steve Irwins program, we have tapes of his earlier programs and made plans to watch his movie as a family.
I grieve for his family, his children are so young. I can not imagine the pain that they must be feeling.

I was sickened. In fact I think the last person to die who was famous that moved me in any way was Princess Di.
Steve was an awesome conservationalist, he made learning about “undesireable” animals so much fun.
I just don’t know what to say. I am heartbroken, and shocked to the core. What a tragic way to die. Though one could say he died doing what he loved the most in the world.
I too, am saddened, and sincerely hope that his family, knows that he was loved by so many for the goals that he accomplished and the life that he lived. Steve Irwin, touched so many. I heard it said, that he could make the most unliked animal into an animal that was understood and loved.
I have been surrounded by death for the last year. It seems that when I get close to the end of mourning one person, someone else dies. So many of us, didnt personally know Steve Irwin, but through the TV he was part of our lives, he taught my children, my family, and this loss is felt so deeply here.
Thank you for your comment, I hope that you are able to comment on happier posts.

i will miss steve so much. he made me laugh when i felt like crying sometimes. i loved to watch him and listen to his wonderful accent and i know he was a great family man. the only thing i do not know is if he was a christian. does anyone know?
I do not know, but I do believe that even if he wasnt, that Heavenly Father will still be there waiting for him. I havent been able to watch Animal Planet for the past week. I know that they are honoring him, but everytime they show the tribute, I start to cry. I have let my “older” friends know that they are not allowed to die (or joke about it). I just cant take much more
