It was a shock (still is) that he's dead. I liked this guy.We pisceans are observers. The crocodile Hunter was definately fun to watch.His accent,his pretty wife,his little girl I think they call her Bindie Sue. One of my favorite ESPN bits of all time is when he gets off the elevator in their offices and wrestles some team mascot that happens to be a croc or alligator. I love the nature channels I'm not a big TV watcher but when they're on they are usually on and Im not watching them they are usually if not sports or the news or Sci Fi on the nature channel I can hear Steve all through my crib sometimes I'll go to the TV see what he's doing.This is a guy like for me Miles Davis or a Princess Diana that you will miss in this world.You don't know why. You just know the world is a little sadder without them.God bless anyone who watches over the creatures of this world.

This topic was attempted on the aqua board lol,maybe people have censored themselves about it.I think he was a pisces now that I think about it also.However he wasn't just someone on TV,he was born and raised doing zookeeping,conservation,teaching,etc. off camera also.Unlike some of these other deaths everyone is "sad" over when the person didn't do much beyond themselves.Kurt Cobain whacked himself,Tupac put himself in that situation,Prinecess Dianna was most likely to be tabloid stalkers,etc. to die.

Yes, he was a Pisces - Feb.22, 1962.

He did take a lot of risks yet his love for nature, habit and the environment helped to enlighten our role in those kingdoms. He was a bit over the top sometimes but he death was so freaky - straight through the heart by stingray. DAMN.

Steve Irwin was an absolute legend. There's no one here in Australia that could ever fill his boots or even the rest of the world for that matter. Steve and I shared the same birthday and for that reason I always felt a special fondness for the guy. He was an amazing bloke.

He will be sadly missed but happily remembered.

I was very sad to see him go.... He has done so much for wildlife, and educated people about so many things...

It was really nice to see him doing the things he loved most in this world, and knowing he had a good life, short but seemingly fullfilling...
