This is really sad. My daughter was a really big fan of his and took it really hard when she heard the news. We had the chance to meet him a few years back when the Discovery Channel had a float in the Macy Thanksgiving Day parade. Steve Irwin was on the float representing his then new show, the Crocodile Hunter. We got to meet him before the parade started and talked with him for a few minutes. He was exactly like he was on tv, very energetic talked to all the kids, shook their hands. A really cool guy. It's a damn shame what happened, but at least he died doing what he loved best.


RIP, mate
