But what an impact you have made in this world in such a short time
Terri, Bindi Bob Snr and Bob Jnr will really miss you .
We are all proud of you.
Rest in Peace

Broadcasting the service was a gift to all of us whom respected and enjoyed the passion, enthusiasm, of a wonderful, loving, caring animal conservationist, husband and father named Steve Irwin. To all of you, thank you for letting the world share in celebrating his life and saying good-bye to an extraordinary man.

There is no doubt in my mind, the baton has been passed and the Australian Zoo is in great hands. Darling Bindi your dad is smiling on you, along with the crocodiles. My, what a charming remarkable young wild life warrior you are! Take care of Mum and Baby Bob. You go girl!

Peace and love to all of you and of course, a check will be forth coming for the Wild Life Warrior fund.

I still feel deeply devastated by the tremendous loss of our Steve, Australia’s Son!

To Terri, my deepest condolences. I have never known a married couple where I have seen a wife look at her husband with such awe every time he spoke a word. The love you two had for each other as you both did for the wildlife. Terri I wish I had a magic wand to bring you back Steve. He died way before his time.

To Bindi, you did an amazing job yesterday at your daddy’s memorial service and I thank you for the beautiful words you shared with us about your daddy. Thank you. He was an amazing dad and as an aussie I am so very proud of you.

To the entire Irwin family, May God bless you all. My deepest and sincerest condolences of such an amazing man.

Hugs to you all,

Georgie.

To Terry, Bindi and bob and all of the Irwin family and friends.
It was hard to believe when we heard that Steve got attacked by a stingray. we where devastated and shocked. Bindi was very brave to stand in a crowed so big on the 20th of September 2006 and say her thoughts about her special dad Steve. He is be missed by a lot of people. You were a great croc hunter. RIP Steve.
always missed by Bree, Rhys, Blake, Liam and Ryan. 21/09/06

I wanted to say thank you for putting a man like Steve on earth. We all learnt alot from him. He touched so many in ways unimaginable like myself. My 3 1/2 yr old son understands he's not coming back, but he said he saw him in heaven with his grand dad and that he's happy chasing crocodiles up there.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all associated with Steve. Our hearts all go out to the Irwin family. But life must go on. With a family like Steve, his legacy will continue to wow the world. Great kids Bindi and Bob, and don't forget his sensational wife Terri - my love to you all

Dear Terri, Bindi, Bob and Bob snr

We watched the memorial service from our lounge in Tauranga NZ and what a fantastic tribute you gave Steve.

Bindi you are an amazing little girl what an inspiration you are to us all.

We never meet Steve but saw so many of his programs, which we loved watching and learnt so much. He was an incredible man. We will miss his enthusiasm no one will ever be able to come close to Steve’s passion with the animals. God Bless Steve, Rest easy.

Our love and prayers go out to you all.

Steve,
Losing you was not only a loss for Australia, but for the world as a whole. The impact you were able to make on people was simply amazing. One of my long term goals was to someday reach Australia Zoo so I could have the pleasure of meeting you in person. I had followed your adventures from high school back in 1998 to present day. Watching just filled me with such pleasure. I think you were able to live the live so many dream of, and you did it the right way. I am so sad our paths never crossed and I wish your family all the best.

Thank you for all you gave,

Josh and Yeva Roberts

CROCS RULE

 ~~~~~

Dear Terri, Bindi and Bob,
There are no words I can say that will get you through this sad time in your life's but if I could replace my life for his I would do it in a heart beat. I am so sad to think about how you are feeling I just want to cry. Please be strong I know that is what he would have wanted. If I could have done only a 1/3 of what he has achieved for the animal on our planet I would be happy. He has shown my daughter how to respect the animals we are so lucky to have on this earth, because as you know your children don't always listen to what you are trying to teach them. I only wish I could turn back the clock, so he could still be by your side. I hope with all my heart and soul that you all have the courage to continue as I to feel he is still with us. Please take care all my love and wishes are with you all.

I felt compelled to write this poem which took me 10 mins to write about a world full of people that seem to be confused about about what is going on and what we need to acheive.
I think Steve thought we lived in a confused world, why would he have spent so much love, time and energy on conservation? I hope NO ONE if offended by this poem and I aopogise if anyone IS offended. :)

I have written a tribute to Steve Irwin and emailed it to you.

OUR WORLD WE LIVE IN

Life is short,
Live it to the end,
Give it all we've got,
Family N friends we depend.

Never know when your times up,
Always welcome a freind,
Smile a little; laugh alot,
When's life gonna end?

Hold no grudges,
People, tell no lies,
Give all our souls,
Heart felt our goodbyes

Whats the world worth,
What does life mean,
Life is precious,
Why hide, not be seen

Hate flowing and bleeding,
We screem out our fate,
Born torn and leaving,
Our destiny too late.

Someone help us,
Please save our lives,
Heal all our wounds,
Help us survive,

Together we unite,
Hug all, love one
A flame we will light
Our lives just begun

Take care :)

The Irwin family

I live in W.A and watched the memorial on T.V, My heart goes out to Terri, Bindi, Bob and a father to loose a son no words can be express the sadness I felt. Steve was taken from this world too soon he had sooo very much to do, he wasn’t finished. The world will miss Steve and all the work has done for conservation.

To Terri, Bindi, Bob,

Our thoughts are with you all, and as we never met Steve, he still has left emptiness in our hearts. My 3 children are saddened and my 8 year old son has told me that when he grows up that he will want to save and look after animals, just as Steve has done. What an inspirational person Steve was and hopefully there will be other children who too would someday like to follow Steve’s footsteps. Saving all creatures great and small and also be very as enthusiastic and passionate about what they believe in! Stay strong and never give up.

I'm so sorry about what happend to Steve. I'm 11 and live in W.A. and I couldn't afford a ticket to Queensland. If I could afford a ticket I would fly their instantly. I have seen every one of Steve's movies and I think their great to watch! Steve was a wonderfull man so I hope every one remembers him in times to come. I loved the way Steve bought land just so he could give wild animals homes.
My heart will always be with you.

To Bob, Terri, Bindi and little Bob

I don't know when I have cried so much for a person I had never met, but one day wished I would. Though his programs he has taught me alot.

He made such a difference not just here in Australia but through out the whole world. He inspired millions so his memory will live on and his message has been heard.

All we can do now is honour his memory is live with Passion and Enthusiasm and protect our Planet so by this we too, carry on his dream.

Steve will be sadly missed by every one and will live in our hearts forever.

Our Thoughts are with you.

We give our condolences for Steve's passing, we all miss the fantastic things that were shared
through his love of family and the world around us - although we were'nt able to attend his memorial service, we did spend time in reflection and respect for the bloke affectionately called "THE CROC HUNTER".

Over the last few years we have all learned that our world can be appreciated in ways we never thought possible, for this our family will be forever grateful to you all.

Yours Respectfully

Dear Terry, Bindi, Bob & Steve's family.
What can we say in a few words . What a great ambassador for our country. He was exceptional to say the very least. Cherish the memories you all hold so dear now. He was loved & will be missed by just so many around the world.But never as much as you his family. He loved you all so much. it may help even if only a small bit, that others are thinking & praying for you @ this very sad & trying time. God Bless
Love Marg & Rob Avenel 3664 Vic.

To Our Dearest Steve,

To this very day I still cannot believe you have passed away! Goosebumps still painfully prick my skin and the lump in my throat is just as big as it was the day you died. The tears still flow like a fountain. I wish I had that magic wand to reverse all of this and for you to be here to say “Crikey mate, I’m all right”.

You were an amazingly beautiful human being. I pray that I may be half the person you were. You taught us all so very much. What a loss! You were so inspirational.

Steve, Today at your memorial service Bindi did you very proud. God bless the entire Irwin family, we feel your pain. You are all in my thoughts and my embrace.

Steve, you will be very much missed and will forever be loved. Thank you for all that you have given us!

God bless you Steve, may you rest in peace forever

Words cannot express my sadness and that of my family to hear of the passing of such a wonderful person, representative of Australia, and animal wildlife warrior. Steve will never be replaced for the person he was and what he believed in and represented whole heartedly.

My thoughts go out to Terry, Bindi and Bob…..May his achievements and goals for the future be met though his families contribution to our planet and animals………….I will never forget Steve Irwin.

CRIKEY MATE

STEVE IRWIN
This world has lost, one of the most genuine men, no one can fill his shoes. One this world will mourn forever. How can we come to terms at one of the greatest losses in history. I hope that the love from all australians one day can help with the grief steve's family. Knowing how loved, and how he touched everyone's heart and souls. He was the greatest ambassador australia had, and sadly he wasn't recognized for his love for his country , sharing it with the world . His children, are his legacy and through them Steve will live FOREVERNOW..

You have touched my soul so very deeply that I may never be the same. Thank you for that! Your death has and will 10 fold the need and desire for all to embrace the trueness of our hearts. You have changed consciousness on this earth. We need to all open our hearts more and speak from that place as you did and not be afraid to show it, and our need to expand our awareness and conservation of Mother earth and the animals that inhabit it will forever be thankful. Thank you for your wonderful incarnation to earth, your work was truly done, God Bless.

To Dear Terri,family and friends

STEVE was a Fantastic Australian Human Being, its just not fair. he was so genuine and down to earth. A person that needed to be on this planet to show everyone all good in this life. he made everyone feel good with his enthusiasm to life. and you could see how much he loved Terri and then when the kids came along the love he had for them. Steve was a great role model to follow when it came to loving a family Steve loved them so so much. Steve was also a genuine friend to all his mates and his employees and to all who he met.

Steve was very much loved by millions of people.

Our hearts go out to you Teri, Bindi, Bob and Mr Irwin. Steve was a much loved Australian who inspired us and was such a likeable man as well. He was so unlike so many other celebrities who are not in touch with the important things of life.

Teri, as a mother, I feel for you greatly. I can't say that I know what you are going through because I haven't lost my husband and the father of our 2 small children. May God look after you in these coming times which will be hard for you, but I hope He brings you ultimately peace in your heart. Search Him out and believe in the God I believe in - the One who wants us to tell Him how angry/sad/hurt/destroyed with what happens in our lives.

Blessings to you now and always

To the family of Steve Irwin

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your much loved husband father and son. He is truly an inspiration and I hope that his passion for conservation is never forgotten. Thankyou for the memorial service it was a wonderful celebration of a colourful person and I cried and smile and I know that he will be greatly missed by everyone especially the animals that he loved so much. Lastly, thankyou for letting us into the lives of a family that obviously shared so much love to each other and hopefully you can gain strength in the thought that we are with you and your family in spirit. Rest in peace Steve crocs rock!!

Dear Terri, Bindi, Bob and Irwin Family

There has never been anyone in my life who has made me feel proud to be an Aussie. Until an amazing man named Steve Irwin entered my life with a "whack" through the telly. His zest for life, love of all animals and passion for the environment was addictive. This planet has lost one truly incredible human being. My thoughts and prayers are with you Terri, Bindi, Bob and family and i feel honoured to have walked this earth at the same time to witness the angel that was Steve Irwin.

God Bless

Dear Terri, Bindi and Bob.

I have been watching the Memorial Service this morning on television. It made me cry deeply and at the same time I feel very proud to be part of this generation and to be able to see a wondeful person, Steve who has done so well in the short time of his life.

God Bless Steve...

Kindest regards and heart felt wishes.

Dear Terri, Bindi, Bob and Bob (senior)

My heart felt sorrow at your great loss. What a wonderful man who has left behind an enormous legacy. Today will be a great celebration of his life with the ordinary people of Australia which I am so glad you have recognised. The media and his well known friends will give him the tribute and coverage he so well deserves.

~~~~~

Terri,

I know your loss is great and for the children who will miss having him around to watch them grow up, immense. But do not despair, as a mum on your own now (like I myself am with 1 child) you will cope because you are a mum and you will want the best for them as Steve would have. The kids will find in time a mentor in a male who was/is close to them, you and Steve and who they respect and may seek guidance from. My daughter Kate has her Uncle Francis (my old flatmate), Uncle Simon (brother in law) and my wonderful next door neighbour Brian who she seeks the fatherly maleness from. I have been so blessed by these 3 wonderful men who have taken her in as a part of there lives and who she can talk to like a child to a father would.

I wish you with all my heart joy in the future, it may not seem like you have any now, but it will come back to you in time, time does heal.....

regards

Sandy Crompton

To Dearest Terri, Bindi, Bob and Bob Senior, Family and all the Staff At Australia Zoo

I feel so heartbroken today! Watching the memorial was truly very very moving ~ but more so to see the true grief etched on the faces of so many. Steve Irwin will be missed by so many as has been said and by the world in particular. I am sure that he is very proud of the way you presented his incredible life and celebrated his amazing achievements. Well done to each and everyone of you during this very personal and tragic time in presenting something so beautiful.

Thank you for letting us be a part of this day and share your farewell to an inspiring man. Steve was quite simply THE BEST! His death is not in vain but should now inspire many to jump right in and do something positive for the world! Go you good thing!

With love and wishes to you all

I had the pleasure of being a friend of Joy's in grade 7 & 8 at Caloundra High School many years ago. The kids used to say "Here comes Joy Irwin and Irwin Joy" (my name was Erin Joy!). Although I only remember Steve as Joy's little brother who charged around everywhere like a maniac, I have always been so interested in what he was doing as I felt a connection with the family. I can only say my love and prayers go out to you all - you were & I'm sure still are -such a wonderful family - Warm hugs - Erin Innes.

Dear Terri, Bindi & Bob,

My family has just finished watching (through many tears) the service for your husband and Dad. Bindi, your speech took alot of courage, we know you will keep your Dads dream alive. Well done Bindi. Just wanted to say how very sorry we are for your family, no one will ever replace Steve, he
truely was a remarkable man. Steve certainly changed millions of peoples veiws towards wildlife and this world is a better place because of Steves passion for all animals. As time passes I hope and pray your pain will ease. I wish someone had a magic wand that would take all your pain away - but we know thats not possible. Terri , Bindi and Bob people all over the world are reaching out to you and sending their love. May Steve rest in peace.

You have inspired my son to love all animals and to be just like you. As a little boy when there was a spider in the house he takes his stance just like you and says "stand back, stand back", "come here little fella". He loved you and we will all miss you and your passion.
Farewell and live on in your children.

I have to say that I feel guitly that I never visited Australia Zoo when I was not even 15 minutes from the entrance! My partner and I were travelling up North and thought about stopping at Australia Zoo but thought we would stop on the way back, time got away from us and we never did!

It just proves that we can never take things for granted, I know I shouldn’t feel bad but I do. I had no idea what Steve has done for him self, family, Australia and wild life until the media showed all Steves documentraies.

All of Cairns stopped in their tracks as the news announced Steve Irwin’s death. It’s amazing how one man was so passionate and never onced changed himself for the media or the public, what you saw is what you got! I used to think he was crazy when I saw him on T.V. handeling crocks and with his baby, I thought you bloody crazy man! But Steve trusted his crocks and thought of them as his family not his enemy.

I can imagine what its like to loose a dad or a husband my heart goes out to Terry, Bindi and Bob. Its one tragic moment in time that every Australian will remember for the coming years.

A note to your Terry the love of your life is now passed but he will always live in your heart and he will be every where you look, you will do well in life and every time you cry wipe your tears away and smile because you knew and loved him.

Bindi and Bob, Dad will always be there with you, be true to your selfs and always remember your Dad loved you and a fathers love never dies!

Take care and I promise you that I will introduce my self to you when I make it to your Zoo!

Steve Irwin has captured the hearts of many, including my young son.

We met Steve personally when we visited Australia Zoo. He had an extremely long snake wrapped around his neck with its tail tucked in his pocket. My son wanted to touch the snake but was a little afraid. Due to Steve's encouragement my son did and was pleased with himself. As a single parent all I can say is… thank you Steve for the encouragement.

My son was so upset about Steve's death that I have written two poems to pay tribute to him which have been sent to his wife Terri. The two poems were written in the hope of keeping Steve’s spirit alive and also his passion for nature. They are "African Communications" and "Creature Thinking". God Bless!

Today the crocodiles are crying real tears. Steve Irwin was truly a gift to the entire world which now mourns his loss. The legacy of his life will continue through the Wildlife Warrior Fund and his wonderful family and friends.

Words cannot express the deep sorrow we feel for your loss. As the Crocodile Hunter, Steve's enthusiasm and passion for animals and the environment has made a profound impact on our lives. His joy and love for live was infectious! We will miss him deeply, but he will live forever in
our hearts. Take care and God bless.

Terri, Bindi, little Bob and the rest of Family and Friends,

I hope that you can find peace and happiness in all the memories you have of Steve and know that he made a difference in many people’s lives. My children love to watch the show’s and love that he had such a way with animals. We think he’s so funny. Your children will look back at the shows and see all the good their father did for the animals. The message he was sending to kids and adults about conservation will be passed on through your children. So others can truly learn conservation for future generations. His sprit is around you everywhere and will guide you through all the sadness.
