Everyone raise a glass for Steve! The Crocodile Hunter will be sadly missed by millions of people. As an Australian living overseas, I used to watch his shows to remind me of home, and to teach other people about a beautiful country full of amazing people and creatures. I am deeply shocked and saddened by such a tragic accident. Australia could not have asked for a better ambassador. He was a bloody legend!

Cheers Steve! We'll Miss You!

Here's to Terri, Bindi and Robert.
It's always tragic for children to grow up without their Dad.

One of my daily visits has done a bit on Steve for years now.

It was a shock, he always seemed almost invincible. My deepest sympathy to his family.

As an American fan and scuba diver I loved Steve's shows. I am shocked and saddened by this freak accident. To think of all the dangerous animals that he handled, and that he was killed by just a simple non threatoning stingray in an accident. A truly sad day. My sympathies to his family.

My heart goes out to his family. His wife is from my neck of the woods. From a fellow Oregonian, Terri and the kids are in my thoughts. When I did watch TV, his show was one that I watched regularly.

I feel for his family and for my friend from HS. One of the guys I went to school with, I found out through classmates.com several years back went to work for him on his show. I don't think he was on camera, I think he was behind the scenes, but he left everything here in America to go down under to work for Steve Irwin. He was quite happy there.

Oh my! I learned about it just this morning and I wasn't too fazed... but now I realize that saying 'Crikey' won't be as much fun as it used to be. I think that would be like taking Steve Irwin's phrase in vain or something ike that. And I would hate to do that. I lost my remote, so I was flipping from channels 65 to 28, and I saw the Crocodile Hunter, watched him for a few minutes and bust out in tears!

WE LOVE YOU IN HERE GEORGIA, STEVE!
