i had a teacher that used to work at australia zoo as a volunteer and one day in 2006 she gets a phone call in the middle of class, which wasnt that weird. but then she just dropped to the floor crying then when she brought herself together she told us that Steve Irwin had passed away. it was crazy the impact it had on everyone. i still remember it till this day, great teacher, i remember how she got the whole school involved in planting like 1,000 native trees in the school grounds. i drive past the one i planted a lot and it always reminds me of the day steve passed on.
That's how us Americans felt when dale Earnhardt died. My teacher got a call dropped to his knees and cried. He made us drive our parents cars to school and do burnouts
Dunno what the school fuss was about: Steve Irwin should have left the damned sting-ray alone, rather than getting so close to it and discovering (to his fatal cost) what happens when one of these noble creatures does when threatened. He should have known (and probably did) what would happen if he frightened them in their natural environment.
@@alfredpersson2550 True @Alfred Persson, they are not aggressive creatures... but get on top of it, and frighten it, and it's likely to fight back to defend iself - in this case killing Steve in the process. Wild animals are called 'wild' for a reason. Humans ignore this to their peril. Steve is just the latest example.
Steve Irwin and Robin Williams will always be my heroes for the rest of my life. I'm almost 28 years old and become a child when I think of one of them
Lui Jui I’m 26 and those were the only two people I ever wanted to meet. Grew up watching them and learning from them I still to this day go back and watch old crocodile hunter videos and Robin’s stand up. Two great men gone to soon.
Lui Jui. Yeah mate your right, Steve Irwin I can’t help you with that, unfortunately, that was a tragic accident that should’ve never happened, but it did. With Robin Williams however, that was murder by the corrupt criminal entertainment industry... ☹️☹️🙁🙁😭😭😢😢
u can still see that ute the exact way its packed in the video that's everything from his last trip they packed on on the day of his funeral and parked it out back never touched again u can still(to this day) walk around the legends ute
F Hugh Steve Irwin was far from a ignorant, big mouthed, attention seeking, self promoting, dipshit that finally got what he deserved. He was very far from that. He did everything in the name of conservation and is the reason i have an interest in reptiles and am going to start my youtube channel about our awesome Aussie wildlife. F--k you for disrespecting our greatest Aussie ikon. RIP Steve Irwin and f--k you. He did not get what he deserved.
steve was a great man, he was aware of the dangers of certain animals but handle them with care, hes was a good man and an aussie legend, id like to see you do what he has done
shardsfortards is this comment directed at me? If so i think we have a miss understanding as i was arguing that he was a great man. But if this directed at every body els on the thread then i couldn't agree more.
My sister was battling brain cancer at the age of 7 we went to Australia zoo and Steve came up to us and he said “never stop fighting little mate even if I die I will still be rooting for you he also walked past our house and came in once to have some toast. and she passed last summer now I know he and her are having fun up in heaven
Yes very true. It was the week we lost Steve Irwin and Peter Brock another well known Aussie. I was at work when we first learnt about Steve Irwin passing away and was on my way home from work on the train when we first learnt Peter Brock later that's same week as Steve Irwin passed away. Steve Irwin passed away on a Tuesday and Peter Brock passed away on a Friday and it was early Friday in the same week.
What's that mean? Sorry,here, Internet,just comes to surface at 2009 Is that mean: the remains of Steve Irwin are picked up,so he got his deserved final rest?
@@kentoscocos5238 No, it means that Steves gone, and will no longer see his most used stuff. Its the feeling of oh shit hes really gone. I remember watching this too. For somereason it really made me sad unlike other actors, because this guy was legit. An he made me interested in exploring the globe. I was only 7, but I remember it so well.
I still remember the day I found out he died I was 7 years old and my dad picked me up from school. before he drove he said to me "Matt..I heard Steve got into accident today but we think he will be ok". I thought at that moment that he would be ok because he always seemed invincible. later that night the news reporter said he died and just cried and cried asking why did he have to go. I was crying for days, what was equally worse was that my planned a trip to go to Australia Zoo a month before this and I wanted to s see him in action just like I saw on my dvds. The two biggest lessons I learnt from Steve is that you should always be true yourself/to the people around you and that if you have the dedication and passion for something you love go at it with 100%. We still miss you Steve and we will never forget what you did for the world.
Steve was my hero growing up. And he’s still my hero now. My love of animals and reptiles comes from Steve. I still watch you videos in 2024. My kid will know you. Thank you for what you have taught me.
F Hugh You're a fucking idiot mate. A legend that made Australia what it's known for died millions of people across the country have respect and then you're here being a fuckhead. Go fuck yourself, you are not fucking Australian. Go back to fucking Afghanistan or wherever the fuck it is you come from. Or should I look at your feet. There should be a red mark for when you cam from England on the fucking convict ships where the fucking chains were attached.
CRfilms You are right but Austalia Zoo is the biggest tribute to Steve all his life's work saving endangered animals and educating people. But Steve needs no monument he is loved and will be loved forever I think.
Everytime... I cry I do t care if I'm the only person watching this it's Australia at its best saying thanks to a bloody true blue aussie mate to everyone he wouldn't have bat an eye lid to help anyone god love him and I now your up there loughing bout this mate and good on ya....
11 years ago the world lost a hero... watching this today, 11 years after, and I remember it as yesterday, how I cried for weeks after the news of Steve passing away. I'm so proud that his family carries on his legacy, but Steve is still missed and always will be.
It was a trifecta of Australiana legends that week. We lost Billy Thorpe, (of the band Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs), of course, Steve, and then Peter. For a good week, it felt to me like the "are you really disappearing, just another dying race" line was spooky real. Losing a sense of identity.
I commented on this video 8 years ago and even to this day that man is my true hero, it was always my dream just to meet him Rest in peace Steve Irwin you will always be remembered a brilliant human being that you were
Your daughter is grown up and married now and just had you a granddaughter, I'm sure you will watching over them all and proud that they are following your passion and keeping your legacy alive ❤️
I saw this live when it broadcast. And I cried, I'm not afraid to admit it. Steve was true blue, he loved what he did, an authentic guy. And a Land Cruiser owner through and through.
This brings me to tears every time! Steve was way too young to go! He should be here with his wife and kids and spoiling the heck out of his granddaughter!
God bless Steve Irwin. He was a national treasure who spent his whole life being passionate about wildlife, and sharing his passion, not just with fellow Australians, but with the world. I wished I had gotten to meet him 🙁
Steve Irwin passed away on my birthday, while I was in the US Navy. Through he isn't here with us physically, he will ALWAYS live on in all of our hearts. I consider him more than just a hero, he's a "True Blue" legend, and legends never die
I was born in England and moved to Australia when I was 1, Steve Irwin was an inspiration to me out there and still is now at 37, this man was a legend and a hero to so many people and always will be. 🙏
This makes me so proud to be an Aussie. We all knew we hit the jackpot with, Steve. A one in a billion that legend was. Gone, but be never forgotten RIP 🥹
This clip still gets me, everytime. Just like it did when I watched it live as a teenager. We really were lucky to be able to call this great man one of our own.
i was there at The memorial.It was such an sad emotional day.I am so happy that i Met Steve before he passed.What a top aussie bloke so down to earth and i love what he did for the animals and conservation.Dearly missed always Steve .
I cried more at watching Steve's funeral than I did at my own father's funeral. Steve, you are a true blue Aussie legend and you'll live on forever in all of our hearts. Rest in peace.
I'm not Australian, and I don't believe I have any Australians in my family tree, but this video and having just recently been to Australia Zoo makes my heart beat Australian blood so much. True Blue, indeed. Love ya, Steve. The zoo looks amazing! P.S. Recently corresponded to John Williamson about what this song means to me. He was very appreciative and pleasantly surprised that this song struck a chord outside of Australia. Very humble.
It hurts me a little knowing that I’m to young to have had this man be someone I could look up to when I was younger but he’s still a hero to my generation now.
Steve Irwin the force of the whirl wind of life. He lived his life to the fullest and never wasted a minute of life's treasurable moments. Steve Irwin was a blessing to the planet earth. He is sorely missed. My blessings and condolences to his family and to all those who loved him all around this great big world. Steve Erwin thank you for all the fun. May you rest in peace and shine down upon all of us. From above please help to keep our planet safe and in habitable for generations to come.
I'm a 38 yo man who lives in US and I still can't watch this without bawling my eyes out. Steve was and still is my hero. He even unknowingly brought my family and I together when me and my dad or older brother would watch him. He made me respect and fall in love with wildlife. He was a treasure to the whole World not just Australia. I see the old reruns late at night and I stillhave trouble watching him without getting emotional. I've since lost my father and fondly remember his laugh and reactions to watching Steve. I've never been so affected by the death of someone famous that I had never met. I hope to meet him one day as well as see my father again....
I remember it like it was yesterday, we lost Peter Brock and Steve Irwin in such a short period. I just hope Steve knew how loved he was, not just in Australia but throughout the world 😢
End of an era when this legend died. Had the pleasure of meeting him with my grandad once or twice while visiting my grandads sister and her husband. Steve shook my hand and everything. I've never forgotten that!
I never missed an episode of the crocodile hunter, and I watch them still. I learned so much from him. And he will never be forgotten. I wish he were still here.
Steve is my idol. I grew up loving animal planet just because of him. I love animals and watching his shows made me love animals more. I wanted to be a veterinarian because of him. I learned so much from him. I went to my room and cried when I came home from school and saw it on the t.v news. Even wrote it on my diary. I was 14 that time. He's my hero. And this is the first time I ever wrote a comment on RUclips. That's how much he means to me. The world is missing her hero. R. I.P to Steve Irwin. God continue to bless his family.
I wonder if Steve knew how much he meant to the world especially us Aussie's. I remember driving along in the car with my hubby & kids when it came over the radio that Steve had been killed. We all just broke down crying, like we all knew he had dangerous job. But I guess we just thought he was invincible! RIP Our friend! ❤️🇦🇺👍🏼
I admit that when I watched CH for the first time I had said/thought, "This guy's nuts!" But the more I watched the less I thought that. I have never seen someone so passionate about wildlife. We all miss you.
Sure I was 10 when he passed, I'm 26 now and still shed the tears seeing this. Absolute bloody Aussie icon, this song says too much now it's 2020. We need to keep the Aussie spirit alive. So tip your beers and sip your wines, look after each other and love yourselves, life really does go far too fast 🍻
A day where every Australian will remember where they were when they heard of Steve Irwin's passing. As a Queenslander, with Steve's Australia Zoo being less than an hour from where i lived, we completely mourned. A legend. An icon. A proud Dad and Husband. A Father in law and Grandad that I have no doubt he would have adored being. RIP Steve. You are loved, and Australia well and truly took your family under their wing to support them in their time of need ❤❤❤
Australia won won the HK 2022 Sevens today. I am so proud of being half Ozzie. I needed to replay this song again in remembrance of one of my hero’s. I ❤ Australia
12 years later and his beautiful wife and his two remarkable children continue his amazing legacy proudly and to continue the mission of saving wildlife and preserving it. Steve would be looking down on his family with tears of joy, love and proudness! It’s 2018 now & there’s not a day where the world doesn’t miss this amazing man, Steve Irwin!! You were one of a kind, mate! RIP !!
I love that Robert recreated one of Steve's most iconic photos at tree same spot in the same clothes with the cam crocodile google it is sad but amazing
I always admired Steve but until I saw this tribute, I never wept for him. Now, I do so for his family, the legacy he has left behind. I noticed as I watched, that I am not alone. This is the first time I saw this. Terri, Bindi and Robert are doing a beautiful job keeping up with Steve's dream.
Going on 8 years and I still cry like a baby when I see this. I even named a new kitten that wandered up during that time Bindi. That cat still follows me wherever I go. Still missing ya Steve!
Watching this in 2019 and I still remember it like it was yesterday when we lost the 2 greatest Aussie icons in a matter of weeks Steve Irwin and Peter Brock. Rest In Peace you bloody legends
I remember watching this service on TV in my parents’ bedroom as a 5 year old boy, as if it were yesterday. I remember the profound and deep sadness that I felt, and I still feel this way whenever I think of Steve. It’s a great shame that we haven’t commemorated him by featuring him on our currency or something similar.
I'm an American but I watched his show growing up! I'm over here bawling my heart out! He's a legend and always will be! He was an amazing guy and an amazing husband and father! He along with other legends will always be in my heart! You brought so many of us joy and love and I wish you could be here to see it all! R.i.p! 😭😭❤❤❤❤
Rest In Peace mate you truly were taken from us too bloody soon 10 /11 years later still feels like only yesterday to us who grew up watching you and nobody can ever replace Steve Irwin
Every time I hear this song tears well up & a few manage to slip out 😪 I really love this song ❤ And I miss the Crocodile Hunter 😪 .. This song has been going thru my head almost all day..(sigh)
He was the main reason I took my trip to OZ in 2006. What a character he was, in a great way. He loved nature, his wife and kids. His emotions were on his sleeve all the time. I watched this live from my office where I did not hold back my tears.
In sad times like this, it’s always wonderful to think that no matter where he is now in the after life from now on, he left a great legacy behind for his family and his fans! It’s 2018, and I’m still a big fan of his work! May Steve Irwin RIP forever!
Good ay DJ, RIP it means rest in peace but also means under current beware. On a beach the RIP can drag you to deep water and drown you. RIP beware my fellow travellers. But never panic. We have LIFE GUARDS in Australia that protect and Save. We are True Blue. True fucking Blue my brothers and Sisters. True pumping Blue. Safe Travels Love U All
I rember being 14 watching this live on t.v while crying my eyes out like a little girl. I had that day off school just to watch the memorial, R.I.P Steve Irwin you will forever be remembered as Australia's top crocodile man🐊
I was 15 when this happened and we watched this at school. Its one of those things that is eerily fresh to me. 2 weeks from now it'll be 10 years since it happened :(
i had a teacher that used to work at australia zoo as a volunteer and one day in 2006 she gets a phone call in the middle of class, which wasnt that weird. but then she just dropped to the floor crying then when she brought herself together she told us that Steve Irwin had passed away.
it was crazy the impact it had on everyone. i still remember it till this day, great teacher, i remember how she got the whole school involved in planting like 1,000 native trees in the school grounds. i drive past the one i planted a lot and it always reminds me of the day steve passed on.
It must have been hard for your teacher when they took that call I feel for her I'm guessing it's a phone call no one likes to get.
That's how us Americans felt when dale Earnhardt died. My teacher got a call dropped to his knees and cried. He made us drive our parents cars to school and do burnouts

Fast forward too 2219 "Steve would have been 157 today"
58 now
Still young - died too soon doing what he loved 😘💕
58 this year. His beautiful Bindi is now married and expecting her first little Wildlife Warrior. 💚
Almost 58 this year
Who’s in 2024 and still loves Steve
Steve Irwin and Robin Williams will always be my heroes for the rest of my life.

Couldn't agree more with you

My two favorites also.. great guys
Lui Jui. Yeah mate your right, Steve Irwin I can’t help you with that, unfortunately, that was a tragic accident that should’ve never happened, but it did. With Robin Williams however, that was murder by the corrupt criminal entertainment industry... ☹️☹️🙁🙁😭😭😢😢

should be on the $100 bill. Proud to be an Australian.
True blue indeed.
If there's anyone he should replace on our currency it's that old bag from England who has no affiliation with Australia whatsoever
F Hugh Steve Irwin was far from a ignorant, big mouthed, attention seeking, self promoting, dipshit that finally got what he deserved. He was very far from that. He did everything in the name of conservation and is the reason i have an interest in reptiles and am going to start my youtube channel about our awesome Aussie wildlife.

steve was a great man, he was aware of the dangers of certain animals but handle them with care, hes was a good man and an aussie legend, id like to see you do what he has done
shardsfortards is this comment directed at me? If so i think we have a miss understanding as i was arguing that he was a great man. But if this directed at every body els on the thread then i couldn't agree more.
nah mate i was saying it to whoever you said your comment too
Though many of us never knew Steve personally, it is as though we lost our brother. RIP Steve you'll be forever in our hearts.
Australia and the world lost a true icon.
Apparently his personality was no different from when he was on TV. Now, that's rare.
My sister was battling brain cancer at the age of 7 we went to Australia zoo and Steve came up to us and he said “never stop fighting little mate even if I die I will still be rooting for you he also walked past our house and came in once to have some toast. and she passed last summer now I know he and her are having fun up in heaven
Those of us who grew up with him didn't lose a brother, we lost a father.

your bad. and a DISGRACE
One of the saddest days of my life when he passed away, still could not come to terms with that............RIP steve
Same here. I still mourn him, it's a darker world without him.
I was very shocked and sad when I heard that he had died.
Steve Irwin needs to be of a coin or a note am I right? Because he is a bloody legend
CRfilms You are right but Austalia Zoo is the biggest tribute to Steve all his life's work saving endangered animals and educating people. But Steve needs no monument he is loved and will be loved forever I think.
$100 note
Yes
ikr he made a big change in Australia.
Agreed mate
His kids are making him proud.....rest in peace steve
he'd probably prefer his daughter didn't go to the national media and bag the crap out of his dad :(
What they have done to Bob is disgusting - Steve would be doing somersaults if he knew
@@calsailor96 He knows
None of y’all in this chain know anything but 1 social media post by bindi shut up

CRIKEY Steve Irwin is a bloody legend. He inspired me to love animals and showed the hole world to respect wildlife every day and so we should.
A True Blue, fair dinkum Aussie that will never be forgotten. RIP Steve, you have taught so many about how beautiful and unique Australia is.
I grew up watching Steve and he got me into wildlife in the first place. Felt like we lost Australia’s Dad.
One the most genuine human beings to walk on Gods Earth. Gone but never forgotten . What a legend.
I saw this live when it broadcast. And I cried, I'm not afraid to admit it. Steve was true blue, he loved what he did, an authentic guy. And a Land Cruiser owner through and through.
We wouldn't have such a popular channel like Animal Planet without Steve Irwin he helped launch the channel early in it's history.
This brings me to tears every time! Steve was way too young to go! He should be here with his wife and kids and spoiling the heck out of his granddaughter!
Right in the feels! Steve was literally one of the best people on this planet.
Steve would have been 53 today. Happy birthday Stevo, we miss ya mate
God bless Steve Irwin. He was a national treasure who spent his whole life being passionate about wildlife, and sharing his passion, not just with fellow Australians, but with the world. I wished I had gotten to meet him 🙁
Steve Irwin was the first public figure that I've ever mourned. He was a better man than humanity deserved
Me too honestly
Steve Irwin passed away on my birthday, while I was in the US Navy. Through he isn't here with us physically, he will ALWAYS live on in all of our hearts. I consider him more than just a hero, he's a "True Blue" legend, and legends never die
He wasn't just an Aussie legend he was legend in general. RIP steve

Still brings tears to my eyes and more so at the end when the sunfflowers spell out CRIKEY.
Me too! That was so fitting since he said that all the time.
I was fine until Crikey came out, then I burst into tears.
me too
2022 and I’m still devastated, RIP to an icon, activist and all around top bloke!
One of the greatest Australians of all time. We love and miss you mate. RIP Steve, you bloody legend.
+F Hugh stay off the Meth dude, that shit melts your brain!
Still miss U Steve, U was the best, Because off your inspiration I like to work with animals and learn about them😢😢💔
Always a tear when I I see this, what a great man and a best friend to all animals. You left the greatest legacy Steve and god bless you.
This gets your hair standing up. What an inspirational song and person. R.I.P Steve Irwin.
It'd want to, his wife Terry had him killed.
Rip mate rip mate we miss ya we love ya Steve Irwin your daughter is doing a lot good stuff now you would be proud mate

i was there at The memorial.It was such an sad emotional day.I am so happy that i Met Steve before he passed.What a top aussie bloke so down to earth and i love what he did for the animals and conservation.Dearly missed always Steve .
It was said, after Steve's passing, that ' the animals had lost their best friend.'. Truer words were never said.
Was it free to get in? Stupid question but stranger things have happened.
I cried more at watching Steve's funeral than I did at my own father's funeral.
Steve, you are a true blue Aussie legend and you'll live on forever in all of our hearts.
Rest in peace.
I'm not Australian, and I don't believe I have any Australians in my family tree, but this video and having just recently been to Australia Zoo makes my heart beat Australian blood so much. True Blue, indeed. Love ya, Steve. The zoo looks amazing!
P.S. Recently corresponded to John Williamson about what this song means to me. He was very appreciative and pleasantly surprised that this song struck a chord outside of Australia. Very humble.

just played this at brothers funeral today,,,,,,,,,,,,,RIP bro
Sad but thanks for the idea I’m gunna get someone to play this at my funeral
Same situation for my sister last summer
Sorry man...
Still gives me a lump in my throat thinking of this day, and bindi's speech brings me to tears.. Steve Irwin a true Aussie legend..
16 years on still tear up at this
It hurts me a little knowing that I’m to young to have had this man be someone I could look up to when I was younger but he’s still a hero to my generation now.
30 People hate this because they know they will never be half the man Steve was.
They pray to tha devil daily, hoping to be a thousandth of the bloke he was🐊
Steve Irwin the force of the whirl wind of life. He lived his life to the fullest and never wasted a minute of life's treasurable moments. Steve Irwin was a blessing to the planet earth. He is sorely missed. My blessings and condolences to his family and to all those who loved him all around this great big world. Steve Erwin thank you for all the fun. May you rest in peace and shine down upon all of us. From above please help to keep our planet safe and in habitable for generations to come.
I'm a 38 yo man who lives in US and I still can't watch this without bawling my eyes out. Steve was and still is my hero. He even unknowingly brought my family and I together when me and my dad or older brother would watch him. He made me respect and fall in love with wildlife. He was a treasure to the whole World not just Australia. I see the old reruns late at night and I stillhave trouble watching him without getting emotional. I've since lost my father and fondly remember his laugh and reactions to watching Steve. I've never been so affected by the death of someone famous that I had never met. I hope to meet him one day as well as see my father again....
I remember it like it was yesterday, we lost Peter Brock and Steve Irwin in such a short period. I just hope Steve knew how loved he was, not just in Australia but throughout the world 😢
End of an era when this legend died. Had the pleasure of meeting him with my grandad once or twice while visiting my grandads sister and her husband. Steve shook my hand and everything. I've never forgotten that!
I never missed an episode of the crocodile hunter, and I watch them still. I learned so much from him. And he will never be forgotten. I wish he were still here.
This will never not be brutally sad....we love you Steve and miss you so incredibly much
Steve is my idol. I grew up loving animal planet just because of him. I love animals and watching his shows made me love animals more. I wanted to be a veterinarian because of him. I learned so much from him. I went to my room and cried when I came home from school and saw it on the t.v news. Even wrote it on my diary. I was 14 that time. He's my hero. And this is the first time I ever wrote a comment on RUclips. That's how much he means to me. The world is missing her hero. R. I.P to Steve Irwin. God continue to bless his family.
I wonder if Steve knew how much he meant to the world especially us Aussie's. I remember driving along in the car with my hubby & kids when it came over the radio that Steve had been killed. We all just broke down crying, like we all knew he had dangerous job. But I guess we just thought he was invincible! RIP Our friend! ❤️🇦🇺👍🏼
It's 2020 but this still brings me to tears. Rip you legend.
I admit that when I watched CH for the first time I had said/thought, "This guy's nuts!" But the more I watched the less I thought that. I have never seen someone so passionate about wildlife. We all miss you.
Steve Irwin was my idol when i was a kid, still is to this day, i tear up every time i watch this video.
R.I.P Steve Irwin
Sure I was 10 when he passed, I'm 26 now and still shed the tears seeing this. Absolute bloody Aussie icon, this song says too much now it's 2020. We need to keep the Aussie spirit alive. So tip your beers and sip your wines, look after each other and love yourselves, life really does go far too fast 🍻
A day where every Australian will remember where they were when they heard of Steve Irwin's passing.
As a Queenslander, with Steve's Australia Zoo being less than an hour from where i lived, we completely mourned.
A legend. An icon. A proud Dad and Husband. A Father in law and Grandad that I have no doubt he would have adored being.
RIP Steve. You are loved, and Australia well and truly took your family under their wing to support them in their time of need ❤❤❤
RIP Steve Irwin 9 years on and u will never be forgotton 🐊🐍💚😢
amen brother
I agree with that guy
Never forgotten... His legacy lives on in the heart of Australia.... Rip Steve
Next Month Mark's 10 Years Since Steve Died So Sad RIP Steve 1962-2006 Aged 44 G.B.N.F 🐍😢❤
Beautiful Tribute .... you will not be Forgotten Steve
Still brings a tear to my eye...we lost a true Aussie legend. Rest in peace Steve.
I remember I was 15 at high school. Watched it on TV and cried. He was like the father we never had.
Australia won won the HK 2022 Sevens today. I am so proud of being half Ozzie. I needed to replay this song again in remembrance of one of my hero’s. I ❤ Australia
Cry every time I watch this.
An Aussie Legend, who is still sorely missed. Never forgotten and Happy Birthday Legend!
12 years later and his beautiful wife and his two remarkable children continue his amazing legacy proudly and to continue the mission of saving wildlife and preserving it. Steve would be looking down on his family with tears of joy, love and proudness! It’s 2018 now & there’s not a day where the world doesn’t miss this amazing man, Steve Irwin!! You were one of a kind, mate! RIP !!
I love that Robert recreated one of Steve's most iconic photos at tree same spot in the same clothes with the cam crocodile google it is sad but amazing
Happy 60th Steve, will always be in our hearts 💚
I always admired Steve but until I saw this tribute, I never wept for him. Now, I do so for his family, the legacy he has left behind. I noticed as I watched, that I am not alone. This is the first time I saw this.
Terri, Bindi and Robert are doing a beautiful job keeping up with Steve's dream.
Steve Irwin is the reason I am so into animals. If I could go back in time and stop him from seeing the stingrays, I would.
He probably even loved the stingray that killed him. the stingray just couldn't hear him say "you're all right!"
I think we all would. 💔
LOL I think Steve would too. Being killed by a harrassed fish is a ridiculous way to go.
@@NinoNiemanThe1st TOO early(((
Watching Australia Day 2016, we still love you Steve, we still miss you.
A tallie before breakfast and watching this tribute is an essential component of every Australia Day. RIP Steve mate
Going on 8 years and I still cry like a baby when I see this. I even named a new kitten that wandered up during that time Bindi. That cat still follows me wherever I go. Still missing ya Steve!
Going on 14 years and I still cry like a baby when I think of him
Inspired a whole generation ❤️
I still kept the first newspaper that pops out about this tragedy. Steve was one of the greatest revolutionary with the biggest heart.
A beautiful song for a lovely man who showed us all nature at its best, may his memory always be equated with what he achieved in his life !!
Watching this in 2019 and I still remember it like it was yesterday when we lost the 2 greatest Aussie icons in a matter of weeks Steve Irwin and Peter Brock. Rest In Peace you bloody legends
Proud to be Australian knowing we have great hero's like steve
I remember watching this service on TV in my parents’ bedroom as a 5 year old boy, as if it were yesterday. I remember the profound and deep sadness that I felt, and I still feel this way whenever I think of Steve. It’s a great shame that we haven’t commemorated him by featuring him on our currency or something similar.
All these years later this is still hard to watch, I use to see Steve nearly every sunday back in the 80's. Blessings to Steve's family, .
I'm an American but I watched his show growing up! I'm over here bawling my heart out! He's a legend and always will be! He was an amazing guy and an amazing husband and father! He along with other legends will always be in my heart! You brought so many of us joy and love and I wish you could be here to see it all! R.i.p! 😭😭❤❤❤❤
Rest In Peace mate you truly were taken from us too bloody soon 10 /11 years later still feels like only yesterday to us who grew up watching you and nobody can ever replace Steve Irwin
Every time I hear this song tears well up & a few manage to slip out 😪 I really love this song ❤ And I miss the Crocodile Hunter 😪 .. This song has been going thru my head almost all day..(sigh)
No celebrity no one could draw that crowd or reaction, absolutely iconic & pure Aussie
He was the main reason I took my trip to OZ in 2006. What a character he was, in a great way. He loved nature, his wife and kids. His emotions were on his sleeve all the time. I watched this live from my office where I did not hold back my tears.
In sad times like this, it’s always wonderful to think that no matter where he is now in the after life from now on, he left a great legacy behind for his family and his fans! It’s 2018, and I’m still a big fan of his work! May Steve Irwin RIP forever!

RIP Steve, still miss your energy and kindness all these years later.
I rember being 14 watching this live on t.v while crying my eyes out like a little girl. I had that day off school just to watch the memorial, R.I.P Steve Irwin you will forever be remembered as Australia's top crocodile man🐊
Always brings a tear to my eye. There are people in life, famous or not who touch your heart.
I was 15 when this happened and we watched this at school. Its one of those things that is eerily fresh to me. 2 weeks from now it'll be 10 years since it happened :(
