Steve will be missed greatly, not only by his family but by everyone that has watched his shows. He may be gone but the legend will never die!

As a child growing up in Canada, I watched Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. As a teen, I developed a huge crush on Olivia Newton-John. As a young adult, I used to listen to Men at Work. And I’ve been a Bee Gees fan as far back as I can remember. Australia has given the world a great deal in terms of talent. Two celebrities, of late, when each passed away, caused grief around the world. I wrote a song for each of them that I’d like to share with fans of each:

thanks for writing this post :) i think you’re spot on – there are lessons we can learn from Steve Irwin, and sometimes we need to be reminded of it in our lives.

One Australian we would love to claim as our own. You’ve got it right. We moan and wince at overwhelming enthusiasm and passion (especially here in NZ) but in the end it is what drives and inspires and sparts greatness. Such a shame.

Steve Irwin was a influence for me, he was someone I looked up to immensely for his numerous positive qualities. He was a quality example of what I would call a great role model.

I’ll miss you, Croc Hunter.

Funny, I was listening to the radio earlier and they were talking about this guy getting stung by a sting ray. Whether or not to show it. I had no idea what they were talking about.

Then I’m reading my feeds and see the pic of the crocodile and decide to read on. I put 2 and 2 together and get the info without the editorial.

Who needs broadcast TV news, when you have the blogosphere.

I always thought Steve did some really dangerous things, yet at the end of the day he was always unscathed (for the most part). He had such confidence and we had seen him in potentially deadly situations with animals before that I just didn’t think something like this was possible.
Of course he was mortal and prone to mistakes like anyone else, but he always seemed to manage to come out OK in the end.

A relative of mine also died on the same day, which was also tragic although somewhat expected. And personally for me it’s a bit strange because my thoughts have been with Steve Irwin more than with my own relative. I’m not sure why this is, since I never met the man. I think Steve Irwin was just the type of guy that people like and want to be around.

We’ll miss you Crocodile Hunter.

What you said really sums it up for me.

Personally I can be quite cynical and judgmental, and think this was a load of crap. But Steve Irwin embodies things that we find intuitively important. Passion, Uniqueness and a love for the environment.

He stands out in a time when we have mediocre celebrity. My family and I are fans, and we do miss him. He died a true warrior.

I think that might go well on Sunday, Darren ;-)

A true loss to the country, which is really only being fully appreciated now. I think Irwin was loved and known more overseas than he was at home.

He loved what he did and did what he loved…. he lived a truly genuine life, and from everything I’ve read, what you saw on TV was the real deal. My heart goes out to his family….

Hey they guy was great, but honestly if you do stupid things long enough its bound to catch up to you.

Too bad, but it was part of his charm. I wish the best for the wife and Young kids.

It’s so sad that there’s no 2nd guy to substitute Irwin :-( Enjoy your precious time in the heaven Steve.

Steve Irwin’s death is all the more tragic in that one of the very things that led to his tremendous success (at least over here in the States) – his incredible fearlessness in approaching dangerous creatures – became his undoing in the end. He was a remarkable man who really had a global impact.

At least he died doing something he loved versus having regrets about it in the end. I’d like to go like that, happy and blissful in the knowledge I did something I love and died young instead of living with the “un-regrets”. You know, the “I regret never taking my child to the park more” or “I regret never doing what I love”.
