With Steve Irwin’s up close and personal hands on approach to wildlife conservation a foray into cryptid investigating would have been truly interesting and entertaining. He once said “Yeah, I’m a thrill seeker, but crikey, education’s the most important thing.” He always emphasized that on every program. He was the genuine article. Thanks for the remembrance Loren.

I am a local emcee for the Jerry Lewis Labor Day telethon and his death last year really messed me up and I regret not mentioning it on air. R I P mate

If only we all had the same patience, enthusiasm, intelligence, and rendering heart towards the animal world as Steve tirelessly displayed, the world would be a far, far better place.

Still watch Steve on Animal Planet. Just can’t get enough of that guy. He was great. To be able to see and do 1/10th of what he did would be a blessing. He will never be forgotten.

His legacy will carry on through his people and his children for many many years to come. RIP, Steve, RIP.

Irwin was, as his critics said, a showman, but science and conservation need showmen. While Irwin’s enthusiasm perhaps clouded his judgments at times, there is no denying his impact for good. He took a global audience through countless lessons about wildlife and the environment, and he made it all fun. He demonstrated a love for creatures from snakes to spiders to (of course) crocodiles that helped him get across to everyone how important these “vermin” or “killers” are in their ecosystems.
We miss you, Steve.
