Agreed - for as much as the Internet and social media are held in critical view these days, I would've never known the name Simon Cowell, the animals he saved, and the joy he had for his work had it not been for thes videos.
@@heatherburrellabsolutely and I’ll add that some of them, maybe his most loved, came to be by his side in his last few days ready to walk him through the veil to cross the rainbow bridge 🌟🌟🌈🌟🌟🌟
As a US wildlife rescuer/rehabilitator, Simon was such an inspiration to me and I learned so much from him and this organization. He has left quite a legacy and I pray Wildlife Aid will continue on forever because the need will never cease to exist. RIP Simon
may you rest in peace. you are a forever light. a forever inspiration for people all over the globe. thanks to you people have a new found love and respect for our wildlife.
I only found out about his passing just now. I mourn simply because his kindness towards all animals was, and still is, an amazing example of grace and mercy where it could never be returned. I also smile because even though he was publicized heavily, that media attention brought about the plight of British wildlife, and the need for its protection. Long may Simon's legacy and crusade for wildlife live.
Simon was the person I really wanted to meet. Not a movie star, not a music star. Simon was my celebrity and inspiration! I will continue with my fight and rescue of wildlife here in Colorado, USA with his name on my heart. Rest in peace, good sir! You definitely deserve it. Wildlife rescue is hard work, emotional, we see (human) cruelty beyond words, having to deal with political BS and the general public that don't understand ecology and simply hate, etc. It comes with sleepless nights, worry about animals in care, worry about funds (please donate!). You were such a wonderful human being. This world desperately needs more Simon's. Let's all be more like Simon. ❤
Hey that is my line. I have been using this line countless times before, but it is nice to see that it is catching on, unless you also came up with it ofcourse. In that case it is a nice coincidence under sad circumstances.
THIS is what a Man should be. Someone with compassion and empathy. I am so sorry he's gone, but the world was definitely a better place while he was in it.
I may not be a religious person but I hope Simon is greeted by the animals he saved in the past in heaven. He was one of few people who let me know that not everything is doom and gloom in the world even if I only watched his shows. He was a good man, such a sad thing when a good soul leaves.
Even though we knew this was coming, it's still sad as hell. At minimum, the best any of us can hope for is to leave the world a better place than we found it. Simon Cowell did that, and then some! He will be missed. ☹
The legacy he leaves, not just through the Wildlife Foundation, but for the wild families of those he saved, those he helped all the way. His brightness, shone, strongly, and reached many people worldwide. Simon, there are no words that can really sum you up, you were that much of a super hero. He has left the world a better place for being there. May your legacy continue, always 🌠
Oh, no. The world has grown dimmer. What a wonderful man…thank you, Simon, for being brave enough to be yourself, and for sharing yourself with them and with us.💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨💫🌟⭐️
All humans should aspire to these levels of compassion & care. Simon inspired me to help all stricken animals in my area. 6 stray cats now in forever homes and a multitude of birds rescued, saved and released over the past few years. Thanks to people like Simon, he's given a new generation of people motivation to do the same. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. I'm sure the animals that were saved who would extend this gratitude as well ❤❤
I never had the privilege of meeting him, but he made an impact on me & so many others to help wildlife all over the world. Rest in peace, Simon Cowell. You truly made a world of difference to so many people & animals.
Simon looked after animals though; and not to speak ill of the deceased but Steve was trying to make good entertainment while harassing the wildlife. Not exactly the same thing imo.
@@hurricane_party Irwin was a grifter, a charlatan and a buffoon, nothing more. Comparing him to Simon is an insult to the decades of work spent building Wildlife Aid into what it is now, as well as numberless rescues and caring for injured wildlife.
You say not to speak ill of the dead but you've just done it. Not only that you've made your nasty little statement on the tribute video to this man. You also ignore the goods work done by Irwin and his family done for conservation. The fact you couldn't stop yourself from doing this tells me volumes about who you are as a person. I'm so tired of you people, no matter what good is done, it's never enough you are insidious. @@hurricane_party
Simon was my biggest hero growing up; finding out he was ill was heart-breaking. He died the day after I turned 30. I'll never manage a hundredth of what he managed to do for the wildlife of this island, but I'll try to carry his humour and dedication to nature in my heart as I enter this next decade of my life. I'll miss you, Simon, and condolences to everyone who loved you. The world is immeasurably better for having had you in it.
Legends never die. Simon you have not only saved countless animals but by watching your work we have all learnt what we should or shouldn't do to make a difference to wildlife and we shall continue to do so. Rest easy now surrounded by those animals you saved who have gone over the rainbow bridge. We will all miss you terribly. Love to all Simon's family and colleagues ❤
😢 I saw so many of his rescue videos on this channel over the years, and he inspired the way I see distressed animals and the dear people who rescue them! I'll miss him.
The world has lost one of the good men. He was so selfless. I am a wildlife rehabilitator so I have some knowledge of what his work life was like. Time spent with wild things makes life beautiful. May he rest well.
Simon was here to show and teach others to love and care for our wildlife . He has worked everyday for over 40 years . He was the guardian angel for all creatures great and small. I'll always be sad it was his time to go. Wonderful man.
Thank you Simon for dedicating your life to saving and rescuing British Wildlife. You were a inspiration to many people and will be greatly missed. Your legacy lives on with the thousands of animals that you saved and are now living because of you. Rest in Peace Simon. A life well lived.
The world has lost a legend, met him once in Leatherhead at the centre where he helped save an injured deer. The world needs more Simon Cowell's in it. RIP
R.I.P. Simon. Heaven is for People like you, who have given good to the most vulnerable all their lives. Thank you Simon for all your love for animals.
This man was an absolute legend. He is a real hero. Not your Swift, your TV idols, none of them do any real good in the world. This man did. He will be badly missed.
i used to watch you guys when i was younger, i loved seeing all the animals have another shot at life with your help. i still can’t believe coming back years later to find this. rest in peace Simon. thank you and i hope your at peace.
Simon was one of those people you wanted to live forever. Found WAF after catastrophic loss and ensuing blown up world. I had 5 years with all of you and so much more as I went back to the start. My God how we need humanity like Simon's now more than ever.😢😢😢
What a sad day. I've been watching Simon's videos for years here in Australia. He was a beautiful human with a huge dose of kindness always flowing from him.
So many animals saved. My favourite rescue was the swan and the partner coming in to try to protect it. So many memorable rescues. Thank you Simon. RIP.
I held off watching this bc it would be too sad and difficult but I knew I had to, to honor him and his incredible work and legacy. For years after discovering him I wished he would blow up with more views and support bc he deserved that and that in turn would help more animals. I hope his legacy will continue on even if its something small like a viewer putting up netting or donating or something big like becoming a volunteer or even a rescuer themselves. Thank you Simon, I'll miss you and your humor.
Never met him yet will miss him greatly.
Same here
Agreed. Vale, Simon.
Agreed - for as much as the Internet and social media are held in critical view these days, I would've never known the name Simon Cowell, the animals he saved, and the joy he had for his work had it not been for thes videos.
Yep...
We never met him but he was still a friend because we had one thing in common.....our love for animals. ❤❤
I imagine that all of Simon's rescues were there to greet him in Heaven.
I was thinking the same. The stamped ing of happy feet to greet Simon at the Rainbow Bridge must be an incredible sight!
@@heatherburrellabsolutely and I’ll add that some of them, maybe his most loved, came to be by his side in his last few days ready to walk him through the veil to cross the rainbow bridge 🌟🌟🌈🌟🌟🌟
@pratriciat4493, then I hope they've got enough grounds for them all. What a beautiful thought.
Lovely thought.
lovely to imagine
This world was blessed to have such a kind, caring, loving soul. Be at peace Simon. You made such a wonderful impact on animals and people alike.
We need more like him. RIP Simon Cowell.
It's a shame that i never manage to meet him in person, rip Simon
X. Cx😅
Well said! ❤
RIP. Such a great man. If you looked up the word "compassionate" in the dictionary you'd see his picture next to it. Godspeed in the sky my friend.
This world has lost a truly remarkable man. RIP Simon❤
As a US wildlife rescuer/rehabilitator, Simon was such an inspiration to me and I learned so much from him and this organization. He has left quite a legacy and I pray Wildlife Aid will continue on forever because the need will never cease to exist. RIP Simon
What a terrible loss and wonderful legacy all at once. Rest in peace.
When he broke in tears after the deer ran off 🥲🥲 we need more Simons and we need to be like him ❤️
Simon will be very missed.
Yeah, we lost a legend too soon
RIP you wonderful man. There will never be anyone else like you.
Without Simon, who knows how many animal lives would be worse off, or not even around. He was a saint. Thank you, Simon.
Surely God has a special place in heaven for this man.
Amen 🙏💐🙏
I hope all these beautiful animals visit him in heaven. Thank you Simon ❤
You wish him to be an eternal worshipping zombie?
. Don't be such a jersey at a somber time. Grow all the way up.
@@PROVOCATEURSKJust stfu already. You don’t have to knock peoples beliefs…
@@PROVOCATEURSK Excuse me, can we show some respect for the dead, please?
I just cannot stop the tears. We lost a really good and caring man. I hope Wildlife Aid will still grow stronger in his absence.
His daughters will run it for him. RIP Simon. We will miss you a lot. A wonderful bloke the world lost far too early.
He is definitely in heaven.
RIP Simon
The god that chose Adolf´s free will over free will of tens of millions wouldn´t have created heaven.
may you rest in peace. you are a forever light. a forever inspiration for people all over the globe.
thanks to you people have a new found love and respect for our wildlife.
I grew up watching Simon rescue all kinds of animals and helped me see how precious our wildlife is. We have lost one of the greats. RIP Simon.
Yes, I am in Canada and I watched him rescue, treat and save countless animals. God bless you Simon. From all of us : you will be greatly missed.
The natural world needs more people like Simon....selflessly helping those without a voice. Thank you for all you did...rest in peace.
Spot on 😢

The world needs more people like Simon and you. Never give up helping the wildlife. We do what we can to help as well. Thank you for all you do.
You are a wonderful and kind person....thank you for all your efforts to make our world a little better! ❤❤
Colorado would be an epicenter for that kind of need in certain areas, especially. Do you document your work on social somewhere?
Beautiful comment. May your inspiration stay with you. Colorado has another Simon in u. Big hug from London
"Let's all be more like Simon" should be posted on signs everywhere. Beautiful comment, and God bless you in your wildlife rescue in Colorado.
There are a lot of wildlife who are tipping their hat in honour of Simon Cowell.
specifically the wildlife with hats
Any friend of animals, is a friend of mine.
Adolf?
@@PROVOCATEURSK
A bit mean and unnecessary comment....
Hey that is my line. I have been using this line countless times before, but it is nice to see that it is catching on, unless you also came up with it ofcourse. In that case it is a nice coincidence under sad circumstances.
@@PROVOCATEURSK refrain from such comments here
Oh Simon... Goodbye, dear friend. Thank you for everything.
THIS is what a Man should be. Someone with compassion and empathy. I am so sorry he's gone, but the world was definitely a better place while he was in it.
Simon will be dearly missed by millions. Especially by all the wildlife he has saved. Your legacy will live on, Simon!
A lovely tribute to Simon and his caring work, rescuing wildlife over the years. A life well lived.
It shows that he had compassion and he had a heart for God's animals
Simon deserved a knighthood. God bless his soul.
I agree. Though I wonder if you get knighted posthumously.
The world is a darker place, without this man in it
Rest easy Simon
May Simon always remain an inspiration to those who want to make the planet a better place to live, in harmony with nature.
These are the kind of people the world needs more of. RIP to a great soul.
All those poor animals in peril due to us and one man didn’t stop fighting for them! 😢😢❤
Rest in peace, Simon. You were a wonderful man.
I may not be a religious person but I hope Simon is greeted by the animals he saved in the past in heaven. He was one of few people who let me know that not everything is doom and gloom in the world even if I only watched his shows. He was a good man, such a sad thing when a good soul leaves.
Imagine all the animals there to meet him on the other side.
The world lost a bright light but his legacy will live on, God bless him.
Sleep well, Simon. You've earned your rest. On behalf of every creature without a voice, thank you.
not ashamed to say I am now crying - you will be dearly missed Simon by everyone - the world was a better place for you -
Rest in heavenly peace dear Simon. The world is less bright without you 🥺🥲 🕊️

The animal kingdom will surely miss him, as all his supporters. Rest In Peace Simon.
I know we never met but I feel like I lost a friend. He was so caring and special. He will be truly missed.
There is a big hole where Simon was. He will always be remembered.

He ran a wildlife rescue service in UK, rescuing and treating injured animals and birds
I’m absolutely heartbroken, rest easy Simon ❤️ thank you for everything you done ❤️
