Steve Irwin...more than just a croc hunter
You only needed to watch a bit of the memorial held at the Croceseum at the Australia Zoo to realize how much Steve Irwin meant to so many people. I remember I was at work when we heard the news of his death. It spread like wildfire and we let every new patron to the pub know. Nobody could believe that he was gone. We all thought he was invincible... or at least that a giant croc would have ended his reign. In the end, it was a bit of a freak accident, being fatally wounded by a stingray. But nonetheless, he died doing what he loved, bringing the public closer to nature through the gift of his genuine enthusiasm and passion which reached out of the TV screen and put the viewers right there beside Steve in his documentaries.
The memorial service was a touching tribute that truly showed us Steve was more than just a crazy guy who jumped on croc's and got bitten by snakes and lizards. He was a caring father and husband who did his best to help us realize how important our environment is and its delicate balance in which we are a part.
We'll miss you Steve!
