This is a tremendous loss especially for his poor family. But, as a few people have said, at least he died doing what he loved and not from something stupid like a plane crash or something.

Anyone watching "The Confessions.."? It's 2 years old, however..

Especially sad when they show his Daughter and her enthusiasm about her Father.

yes I was also watching that .so sad! i can't believe this i found this poem thought it was pretty cool!

written by 4theSNAKElady of bp.net


You owned and operated
The Australia zoo
Millions of animal lovers
Respected and admired you

You wrestled crocodiles
without fear or fright
And for the conservation of animals
You put up a fight.

Entertaining and educating
With passion and desire
Khaki shirts and shorts
Were you're only attire.

You got kicked, pooped on
Bitten and scratched
But that didn't stop you
From coming right back.

We'll never forget the words
"Little beauty", "crikey", and "rippa"
Or all the funny times
When a little snake bit ya.

Though you are gone
From an unfortunate misadventure
We will never forget you
As Crocodile Hunter we'll always remember.

I for one cannot believe he is gone. He was basically my only living hero. What a champion he was.

R.I.P Steve - reunited with your mum in heaven catching crocs over the rainbow bridge

Deepest condolences to Steve's family, friends and colleagues

Just like Rich (You can tell we are FAMILY men, lol.) I first thought of his family, both kids so young, and from what I can tell so far, this "adventure" with the stingray was footage to be used on his new kids show he was doing with he daughter... He will ge greatly missed. I bet you all anything though, that there will be a feature in upcoming months reptiles magazine, they always do a tribute to anyone lost in the reptile world...
