Description We will indeed. ;_;

You were a great animal lover, a great husband and dad, and personally, my childhood hero. My best wishes go towards Terri and the kids.

My God, you've inspired me. In fact, everyone who has made a picture of good ol' Steve has made me want to make a picture of my own. D:>
I loved that guy... *sniffle*

I have to make a contribution to one of the greatest guys in history... He was my hero...

That's how I felt a few days ago. When it first happened I was in complete shock, but coming here on DA showed me just how many people cared about Steve, and I felt inspired to do something in his honor.

Poor him, must've hurt badly to get stung in the heart. Used to watch his shows alot when I was a kid, he was indeed good with animals. And... Beautiful picture.

AWWW!!! I love it!!! This is so awesome! I olve how the colors are - it is totally colorful and happy like Steve was. I'm not sure what to say, except that, I love that the croc is like 'What now?"

I'm not sure what to say. T_T; I...I love Steve.

man that's sooo sad! I never thought that he would die of a bloody sting ray! I thought he's get crushed from a croc! a croc! The worlds SO not fair! *faverz*

I'm actually glad it wasn't one of his beloved crocs. :/ It would've made a lot of people go "I told you so!", I think. But I'm sure Steve had no regrets, dying doing what he loved.

DeAtH-bY-fIrE In reply to MandyPandaa [2006-09-08 01:33:41 +0000 UTC]

Of course he wouldn't have any regrets who could doing that type of thing? And your right it would be annoying having people say "I told you so." if he died by a croc. Very sad that he's gone though, very sad.

He was my childhood hero! I always loved to watch how devoted and happy he was with all the things he did.
I'll never forget the way he happily picked up the most dangerous snakes as if they were his favorite playtoy!
He was just so loveable! ;_; May you rest in peace, Steve!

The best to Terri and his childen. I'm still finding it hard to believe that he's gone, bu we have to come face to face with the facts. Animals couldn't have had a more amazing guy to fight for them.
A wonderufl tribute to an amazingly wonderful person.

I cried my eyes out yesterday morning hearing this... I still can't really believe it... I loved Steve... Animal Planet and Croc Hunter was my life as a kid. I'm crying again now... mannnn! RIP, Steve. We love you!

And this is an awesome tribute, Mandy. And it's awesome that it's bright and happy, just like Steve... very fitting memorial for him.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH ITS SO CUTE! ITS SO CUTE I'M GONNA CRY!

I'll always remember Steve Irwin, he was by far one of the greatest animal lovers this world has ever known. He was always so kind, so loving, so wanting to help the society. When I found out he died, I cried my eyes out, I loved him. He was awesome. He was a great dad, husband, and animal lover. RIP Steve Irwin ;~; I'll never forget you.

This is great, I'm gonna print out a copy for every room in my house Its awesome, as always. Poor Steve.....

Aww, thank you. When I first found out I was just in shock, but once it sunk in that he was really gone I got depressed for days...but it's really nice to see how many fans there were of his who are feeling the loss too, just here on dA even.

You be welcome, Mandy I felt the same way....I still can't believe it happened. Its just.....BAM. Right there, after all those years of watching the show, he's just....gone. One second and no more Steve. One accident.
.....and there goes the one of the best men to walk the face of the planet.

God bless us all..........Bye, Steve.

D'AAH! D:

oh Mandy, this is so awesome and... wonderful. ;o; steve would be amused and grateful if he saw this. *squish* i love the expression and...
the crikey. XD

i hope terri, robert and bindi manage to cope with all of this soon enough. ;_; it can't be easy... and poor robert having to loose an awesome dad
in his early childhood... i'm just glad bindi has been around long enough to see and get a great feel for the good intentions of her daddy's work
and love for animals. <3 and robert will understand someday too what it means to be an irwin kid.

i'm getting sick of everyone complaining about how 'there are far worse things happening in the world... who cares?' and really, a lot of people do.
he was a person, and his work was appreciated. :C i just wish more people would understand that, and leave it alone.

oh man, now i'm ranting. y_y
this is a wonderful tribute m'luff. thanks for sharing it with us. <3

I think Steve would've loved to see all the people showing their care, all around the world. T__T I went to the zoo yesterday and the flags were at half-mast, which just set me off again... ;~;

Those have been bugging me too. :/ I saw a few on your journal and managed to restrain myself, buuut...I mean, the fact that this many people are mourning someone shows that they cared a lot, respected him a lot, etc. And that's not a bad thing and never will be.

Oh man, now I'm crying again. Heh, it's kind of silly to cry over someone you never met, but at the same time it's not silly at all. My prayers are with Terri, Bindi and Robert, too. Thank you for such a lovely tribute, Mandy. *sniffle*

MandyPandaa In reply to Razzek [2006-09-05 22:53:40 +0000 UTC]

Oh, I don't think it's silly at all! : < I'd always wished I could meet him since I was little, it makes me sad now that I think I won't get a chance to. (All these tributes on DA have gotten me bawling, I'll freely admit...)

Razzek In reply to MandyPandaa [2006-09-05 23:05:41 +0000 UTC]

He was so crazy, but so stinking cool. I loved watching him in high school. And every appearance he made on Leno was priceless (that time he brought actual rattlesnakes on stage... XD). I just hope his work goes on; he did a lot for conservation.

I dunno what your personal beliefs are, but I personally think you'll get to meet him someday. (Just don't do it anytime soon! ) There are no real good-byes, only "see you in a little while"s.

MandyPandaa In reply to Razzek [2006-09-05 23:22:33 +0000 UTC]

That is always a reassuring way to think about it. I'm sure he's having a great time up there with all his animal friends that have passed away. ^-^
