*sigh* Stingrays... of all things...

Let's hope this is a hoax or something. The guy's way too young...

Heard this a little while ago... so sad. The guy was sorta crazy, but he loved his job. I'm gonna miss him, and I feel terrible for his family.

RIP Steve. Condolences to Terri, Bindi and Bob. He died doing what he loved and he will be sorely missed by many, many people.

The stingray's sting pierced his lung and possibly his heart. They called a helicopter but he had already passed.
He is only the third person to die from a stingray sting in Australia.

PIP Steve. May you be met by your beloved Doggie and Crocodile at the rainbow bridge. May your family find comfort knowing you left this world doing what you loved.

Oh my god.. this is unbelievable. This is truly devistating. I used to love watching his show.. even dreamed of moving to Australia and working in his Zoo.. (I know, crazy but thats me)

This breaks my heart... he will be missed. A loved Father, Husband, friend, and of course, fellow animal lover. Rest in Peace, Steve. You will not be forgotten.

Wow...i'm speechless. Sitting here crying.
I loved him and his love of animals. It is a shame to lose such a great person.

R.I.P. Steve

I thought this was a hoax at first, then I checked his Wikipedia page.
RIP Steve

I was in shock reading this. I can't seem to stop crying. We have always said we would one day visit Australia, just to see him and The Wiggles. We have been big fans for such a long time. My children love him so much. The kids love the video of him in Wiggly Sarari, and it has played so many times, we all know the words. He touched many of us young and old. My heart goes out to Terri, Bindi, and Robert. The world will miss him.

My prayers go out to his family, friends, coworkers, and the animals he has fought so hard to save. Rest in peace.

I just heard this about an hour ago.
It seems unreal. I wasn't a great watcher of his show but have had a lot of respect for him because of his love of all animals. It was easy to see how much he cared and that there was no pretense there.
He will be greatly missed.

I don't understand how or why, but my reply in this thread is now gone? I quoted Kumbulu's first post, agreeing with the fact he will be sorely missed, wished his family strength, and said I was crying over this.

Hopefully, this post won't disappear.

What a sad loss for his family, the Australia Zoo and all the animals that he saved when he was so outspoken against trophy hunting in Australia. Godspeed over Rainbow Bridge, Mr. Irwin - you will be greeted warmly

It hasn't disappeared. It is post 13 on the top of page 2.

I am keeping his family in my prayers
