Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin dead

[LostSon88]

She's got too much of her father in her...

 

[Equint77]

that's awesome... at 7 years old, a girl like that would have the guts to do all of this shortly after losing her father.

good luck to her... I wish her the best.

 

[maxwell's demon]

my friend is a producer for Animal Planet- she actually said they weren't sure if the show was going to happen- since it was supposed to be a father/daughter thing. guess she decided to go ahead with it.

brave kid.

Bump.
Steve Erwin is the man. I cried last night when i watched the crocodile hunter...

*****. The least you could do is spell his name correctly. It's only in the goddamn title of the thread. Now thanks to you it looks like he was a founding member and part owner of Erwin Furniture. And do you suppose he wants to be remembered as that? I think not.

And :

Im sure if he saw these images on a computer in Heaven he would've cracked a smile.

R.I.P Steve!

I just bawled my eyes out watching his memorial. I can't believe how strong Bindi is.

BEERWAH, Australia (CNN) -- "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin was remembered Wednesday by his eight-year-old daughter Bindi as "my hero" and a man working to change the world and help save endangered wildlife.

"My daddy taught me so many things," she told 5,000 people attending a public memorial service for the much-loved conservationist and television personality at the family's Australia Zoo at Beerwah in Queensland state.

"I will miss him every day," she said, adding that her father wanted people "to learn to love all the animals." (Watch Irwin's father and others remember their friend: a friend to animals -- 1:59)

Irwin, 44, died on September 4 when the barb from a stingray pierced his chest while he was filming for a television show on the Great Barrier Reef, off the northeast coast of Australia.

His family held a private funeral service for him on September 9 at the zoo.

Irwin's father Bob urged the audience not to grieve for his son, but rather to grieve for the animals, who had lost "the best friend they ever had."

Australian country singer John Williamson sang his trademark "True Blue" song that Irwin loved.

Australian Prime Minister John Howard, who opened the memorial service, said Irwin touched not just the hearts of Australians, but those of millions of people around the world in a very special way.

"He did that because he had that quality of being genuine, of being authentic, of being unconditional and having a great zest for life.

"Throughout his all-too-short life he demonstrated a love for the two things that ought to matter more to all of us than anything else -- his love of his family and his love of his country."

There was one empty seat at Irwin's Crocoseum -- the one set aside for the "Crocodile Hunter" himself.

Dressed in khaki, Irwin's widow, American-born Terri, daughter Bindi and son Bob, 2, made their first public appearance since Irwin's death.
Video tributes

Actors Russell Crowe, Kevin Costner, Hugh Jackman, Cameron Diaz and singer Justin Timberlake sent video tributes, as did CNN's Larry King. There were funny out-takes from Irwin's many television shows, a poem from actor David Wenham and a video skit Irwin made with the hugely popular children's group The Wiggles, who were represented by Anthony Field.

"We have lost a friend, a champion," Crowe said in his recorded tribute. "It will take some time to adjust to that."

Costner lauded him as "fearless" man who was brave enough to let people see him as he was.

"America just flipped for him," said Diaz. "Every kid was in love with the idea of being him."

Other speakers noted the research work Irwin was doing, not only with crocodiles, but with other endangered species.

The one-hour service, held in bright sunshine, finished with Irwin's crew loading his truck with his crocodile hunting gear and driving off, to the tune once again of "True Blue."

Dozens of television satellite transmission trucks were parked outside the zoo, which has been owned by the Irwin family since 1970.

Three of Australia's main television networks carried the service, which was made available to U.S. and international networks. Giant television screens were set up in Irwin's home state of Queensland for people to watch.

Irwin's death set off an unprecedented outpouring of grief, The Associated Press reported. Tens of thousands traveled to the zoo near Brisbane to drop off flowers and other mementoes, many of them signing Irwin-styled khaki shirts instead of a condolence book.

Since Irwin's death, his conservation charity Wildlife Warriors has seen a surge in donations and its Web site has received millions of hits, AP reported.

For anyone who missed the memorial here is Bindi's eulogy and others' tributes.

 

[Iceman]

The memorial was very moving. It shows how well liked the guy was. Also his daughter is an inspiration.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I've been silent on this matter, but it's not for lack of grief. Steve Irwin was one of my heroes. In fact, I think I'll go on myspace and add him to my heroes list.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Have Crocodile Rock play
or some Bon Jovi

 

[Ronny Shade]

I don't know how to do that

plus I hate Bon Jovi

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

You WISH you could suck your cheeks in as far.

 

[Ronny Shade]

Yeah, you got me. I'm really just jealous.

 

[Go Web Go!]

I caught the last 15 minutes or so of his memorial service. That had to be the first time I had the waterworks on that bad in years. Really depressing to see those family photos knowing that he won't be around for them anymore. I wish them nothing but the best. I'm sure his wife is a good person and his kids seem really bright and energetic. Long live the Crocodile Hunter!

 

[War Lord]

Any other deaths since Stevie died?

 

[Hafssól]

yeah, 50,000+ per day all over the world
