That's all I can say to that.:bigcry:

I just heard about it too!

What a shame!! I feel so bad for his family.

Wow! That really sucks! He was a funny guy. He was not too smart when It came to damgerous animals though. It was only a matter of time.

Arconna · Sep 3, 2006

...thanks guys...just ruined my entire Labor Day 4 Day weekend...I'm actually in tears now...I loved that man

.

At least there will be Marathon's of his show on Animal Planet that I can watch

.

Why do all the good guys have to die? Why? Hmm? Answer me God! All the great things he did in life! Come on. Couldn't you have killed someone else? There were many more far more deserving of an early death! Irwin wasn't done in life. He had so much left to do for all the wildlife in the world. All his conservation efforts and work weren't finished. Now you've taken him from all of us, all of us who loved what he did, who watched his show and loved seeing the things none of us had the courage to do.

Damn it all...

I figured an animal would get him in the end....but I always thought it would be a croc or a HOT. Not a stingray. It seems like such a freak accident.

MischiefManaged · Sep 3, 2006

Ugh, I just heard about it on VenomList. That is such a tragedy!

I feel terrible for his family as well. What a freak accident . . . handling all of these dangerous animals on a daily basis and it is a stingray barb to the heart that gets him.

Sad day. The guy did a lot for the hobby. More then many know. Brought the herps into peoples homes to show they are not monsters. He loved everything to do with animals.

Sad day. My thoughts are with his family and friends.

gaparicio · Sep 3, 2006

my whole family loved watching him. it's a sad day today, thats for sure. He will surely be missed. I especially feel bad for his family.

Man, that sucks.

RoseT · Sep 3, 2006

Omg that is sad!

I knew a animal would get him but not at 44. Thats to young to die

KelliH · Sep 4, 2006

This is so sad. I feel so horrible for his wife and children. I hope Terri carries on working on educating folks about herps.

RaiQuee · Sep 4, 2006

Oh no, such a tragic event. He was a very great addition to the herp world, and the wildlife world too. He made people understand and Love reptiles that usually was looked down against.

Me and Ed will definatly be missing him...

Wizardlizards · Sep 4, 2006

Rest in Peace Steve, thanks for making wildlife interesting for so many people!

gothra · Sep 4, 2006

I just heard what happened in our news, I couldn't believe it. I love watching him and I hope all the best to his family. This is just too sad.

PrototypeGeckos · Sep 4, 2006

He always lived life on the edge, but he did know what he was doing especially with the crocs, snakes etc. but I guess he was just a little out of his element with the stingrays and didn't give one quite enough room, it is a very sad loss for everyone and our hobby. I feel so sad for his wife and kids, as you can tell from the shows his girl was definately a "daddys girl", so that is kinda hard to take when you think about it. I have a "daddys girl" here, so it is a little harder to take. R.I.P. Steve Irwin

John N · Sep 4, 2006

Oh wow...

I was a huge fan of his. He did so much for the reptile community and for the preservation of so many animals, without him it deffinally wouldn't be how it is today and for the future. Hopfully his staff and family will keep his dreams in their mind and keep up their great work that they are doing. I feel terrible for his family, esp for his young kids, he seemed to be very family oriented. I guess that's good that he died while doing something he loved doing, I'm guessing he would of liked that.

RIP Steve Irwin...

LeosForLess · Sep 4, 2006

Its kind of hard to take in, seeing hi mon TV all of the time, and poof, hes just gone. I thought it was a jokie at first, but wow this is amazing. I feel so bad for his wife and kids.

van_veen456 · Sep 4, 2006

its a great loss...I was speechless when i heard it...

roaches42993 · Sep 4, 2006

I think we lost a very important voice for conservation and education to the whole reptile community. Only 17 people have died from a sting ray worldwide steve had to be one of them . R.I.P. steve

I thought a croc would get him not a stingray. What a sad day. Not only for us adults that knew what he stood for, but for all the children that he brought the world of animals too in his shows.

I told my son today about it cause I knew he would here it and not believe anyone. After he calmed down he asked me if a croc got him.
