It’s 2023 , nearly 1 month away from 2024 and I don’t know what always brings me back to watch marathons of Steve , I think it’s a childhood thing , Steve was a comfort , he was kind and enthusiastic, he made you feel like you could be a great person ! I still cry when I watch things and think what he could have done in this world but looking at Robert and Bindy he definitely passed all that on along with Terri , they are amazing children following on with his legacy… I’ll forever love Steve Irwin ♥️
I'm originally from East Africa. My mother and I always looked forward to watching Steve handle animals with such ease. He made it look like such joy and fun to be around animals. I bawled like a baby when he died, it was such a shock. Thank you, Steve Irwin for the fun and adventure!
It’s August 2024 and I’m binge watching videos about Steve Irwin. He was so original and his passion and enthusiasm so genuine, it was downright infectious!
Ditto Javagirl are you an Aussie? I've never understood why Steve's dad was banned from the zoo. His level of experience is invaluable and Bob needed his grandkids. Steve idolised his dad. He would have wanted him to be part of his kid's lives. You can't beat family to help you get through the hard times.
@@ellieaquitaine6396 Hi Ellie. I’m American. Bindi claims she has invited Bob to be part of their lives but he has either not responded or has declined. I’m sure Bob has his own version of events. It is a terrible thing when any family is torn apart, right?
@@javagirl It certainly is. It would break Steve's heart. I don't know what's going on. The zoo changed for the worse after Steve died. All Steve's mates were fired. That's brutal and Bob was told he was interfering and stopped going there. It's sad for the kids but they are old enough to have a relationship with their grandfather if they wish.

My parents said was one of the hardest things they ever did was to tell me Steve had died. He was and still is my hero. If Everyone had a heart like Steve's we would all be better people and our world would be better too. He was the first person who I really lost. I just believe he was gone. I thought he would come back one day. Thank you Steve for being my hero
Reiner Braun sure I’m not crazy about that fact that Bindi was working when she was so young but that doesn’t change the fact that her father meant so much to a lot of people most of those being kids. I just think it’s a shame when someone dies tragically and leaves behind a family
My daughter was 15 when he passed away and she cried her heart out when I had to tell her. She graduated with honors from the university in 2013 and spent 2 years working for practically nothing at our local animal shelter. Steve Irwin was her inspiration. Of course she eventually had to get a job that would support her financially but you really have to admire a man who could inspire a young person to give up two years of their life to help animals in need. Now, she’s the kind of person who will pull her car over to help a turtle cross the road. Steve impacted a lot of lives and his death was truly a tragedy.
Without his beloved parents we would not have been blessed with his presence . So to his father an eternal thank you for bringing Steve so that we got to know and being part of his conservation. What a legacy.
Shedding tears for your typical Aussie bloke, that helped change and inspire the worlds approach to animals and each other. Thank you Steve for introducing me to life. Watching from Australia.
I'm glad to see Bob is carrying on Steve's work, he really pretty much lost everything when he lost him. The son he loved so much, the zoo he started, his life's work, I don't know if he lost his home too, I know that was an issue for awhile. I hope Terri didn't keep Steve's kids from their grandfather, too. I'm so happy for him that Steve's zoo people got back in touch with him, it looks like it meant a lot to him. God bless Bob, he's had to endure almost unimaginable loss and cruelty in his life. And God bless Steve, after 10 years, he is still my hero and I still miss him.
@@spacewitchvulcan From what I recall Bob didn't agree with the direction they were taking the zoo...over-commercialized with less quality care for the animals.
I read where Bindi was quite young and was so excited to get a present from her 'poppy', only to open it and see that he had opened her present to him and returned it. She tried a few more times to connect, then finally gave up. Let's not place blame since we don't know both sides of the story.
Bob wanted the zoo to be a reserve and he said terri turned the zoo into an amusement park. That's why the whole family is separated.. he wasn't invited to bindis wedding on March 27th to Chandler
wolflord4 I sympathize, but Terri has to power on because she had two children. She’s done an awesome job. Life moves forward and if you’re stuck in the past then you’re missing out on the most important part of him now, his children and their progress as they take their father’s journey to the next level.
True, plus he had already had to bury his wife in very tragic circumstances. The zoo is Lynne, Bob and Steve and his sister's. I just see it as an Americanized money making version now. The new wave of Irwins spend their time traveling the world in luxury, Terri takes a helicopter each morning from the zoo to goodness knows where, it's all changed.
I loved him when I was a baby, and I’m 28 now and Steve is still and ALWAYS, will be a role model to me, and my Hero!💪🏼 I really look forward to meeting him in Paradise, with all the creatures God created close by!😌
@@leebarnhart9725 For sure, when the very firsy episode came out i thought, this guy is a nut he's gonna die from a croc eating him live on T.V. while we are watching!! By the 3rd episode i wad in love with him and looking at dangerous animals in a whole different way. It's been 20 Year's since I've eaten meat and i donate my time helping strays and rescues, I've learned all life is precious.
@@lisalove272 I remember the guys at my job talking about it when it happened i couldnt stop thinking about him for days. Still hurts when i see his son on tv
I was watching my Croc Hunter DVD to fall asleep to when Steve was passing. Woke up that morning and heard the news. Cried too many tears..... still cry for him this day. Been decades there about. Fuck
Amanda, I cried through this whole video, and the special reunion. I was filling out papers to be a volunteer at the zoo when Steve died. I missed seeing each and every one of you all. Here in PA we felt world's away and totally lost. I will love you all forever!! Hugs and love! Steve opened my world to all animals. Good on you all, mates!
I wasn't able to watch this without breaking down into a fit of sobbing and crying. I miss you, Steve, the world misses you. Rest in Peace, Nature's Hero.
It's been 12 years now. It only feels like 2 or 3 max. A bright light definitely went out that day, yet somehow I don't think he ever left us and is with us still :) I reckon he's doing some big things in spirit.
You don't see anyone who can even compare with Steve Irwin, today! Yet, he certainly left behind such a gift for the young people to see with such excitement in his eyes, his smile and whole demeaner is something you just can never forget! He taught everyone to respect animals of all kind .. Thanks to God and his parent's for the time he gave to all of the animals and insight to film it for the whole world see! What a legacy!! Surely God had in mind a special gift for Steve, not only here, but no doubt in heaven, too!! RIP Steve ..
Thanks to Steve I became a Park Ranger in America. Looking back it pains me to think this abnormally jovial man is no longer on Earth. But if I was able to choose how I would die, I'd want to die doing what I love just like Steve.
God this brought tears to my eyes such an amazing guy good to see the team all getting back in touch especially for Bob he is Steves dad after all 🐊🐍🐢🐜🕷🐋
May 1, 2019 ~ Well Steve 4 more yrs have passed. So now your 61 // I still watch you on Animal planet and The good news is your the same! You're full of energy, and teaching us all about the love of the wild and what it's like to grow up in a zoo. You're Dad said it best Steve. All the animals will miss you. Thanks for sharing it all including the birth of your daughter Binnie. See you soon
When I was a kid I turned on Animal planet. Steve Irwin's memorial service was live. I thought it was a retirement ceremony to congratulate Steve on a Amazing career at the zoo. It only took me 2 years to realize Steve didn't retire, and he was never coming back. It was a hard time for me
Still remember when my mum told me he had passed away. I remember being shocked and I was sitting on my couch. As an 8-year-old kid, I watched him on Animal Planet and he always made me smile
I remember coming back from high school in a hurry just to watch the crocodile hunter. Steve and his crew taught me so much about animals. Would never miss a show. Steve was a gift to the world and his life was short but left a lasting impact on millions of people- rest in peace Steve. From South Africa.
Im a very strong and tough man but when it comes to Steve I cant hold back the tears. He is a true gentleman and full of compassion and empathy. I will always miss you Steve
He was my hero, my inspiration, the reason I believe in hope. He reached me in Texas and the first time I saw him on the television screen, I thought he was a maniac getting that close to snakes and crocs like that. But over the years I’ve finally figured out the reason he was doing this. One thing I always remember is that he always had you hooked when you knew he was going to do something wrong. I love you Steve Irwin!! I hope to visit Australia zoo soon and see all the wildlife that I have yet to see face to face here in Texas. Rest in paradise Steve Irwin!❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
Yes I remember where I was when we heard he died, I was in a Starbucks and we saw it in the newspaper at the star bucks. I remember thinking that cant be possible and felt bad for him and his family that his life was cut short. I remember his family was strong at the funeral especially Bindi. I am glad to see that his family is doing well today and have kept the zoo that has become larger.
She sacked all his family from the zoo and got rid of Bob.She changed her son's name back to Robert so he is no longer named for his father Wes has left too
I have always wondered what happened to Steve's dad, as I thought he got a bit of a raw deal. THANK YOU so much for this, now I know he's fit and healthy doing what he loves best 👍👏🤔🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
If anyone here knows his family share this message with them it wont do anything but i would like for them to know that his death even hit us overseas. In 2006 Iraq in the morning as were getting ready to run operations we saw his passing on the news and it hit us so hard we even stopped operations to have a moment of silence for him. Our entire company honored him as if we lost one of our own. What a tragedy for such a bad ass guy :(
Steve Irwin was my hero growing up and in some ways still very much is, growing up being disabled as a child made it very tough to do the extreme but Steve showed me the little things in life and how important it was to conserve even the smallest of critters, i didn't need to be head jumping crocs or anything but just to acknowledge we live among a multitude of wildlife and how vital they are to our planet, protecting us from them and vice versa was more important then anything, I might not be out and about doing things for our environment and wildlife but the inspiration he's always been giving me has helped me learn so much and while I cant always do the physical I can pass along my knowledge to educate others like he did for me, he was a fool but that was the whole point, it got us watching and listening
Every time I see him my heart both heals and breaks at the same time. He was my hero as a kid and still is. Everything that I am when it comes to animals and wildlife is because of two people. My papa and Steve Irwin. Hopefully my papa finally got to meet our hero up in heaven
I remember being a kid and finding out that Steve Irwin had died. Broke my heart and I had never met the man. The world mourned. Our loss wasn't as great as Terri's and Bindi's and Robert's, but the world shared a tiny bit of the grief with the Irwins. He inspired us all and I think of him often.
Steve Irwin was everything I ever wanted to be. What a privilege and joy it must have been to work with him and be accepted into his trusted circle. You don't have to be Steve Irwin to do the good work. He inspired me and millions of others. I love you, Steve!!
Calling from Germany, I did never met him, and I will never see the zoo, but I thought I lost a very, very good fried, as he past away. I try to help anymals, all around me, sie dogs (5) around me, always remember me, how important it is to ceep and protect Natur and animals, a rescue the most of my docs, and even when I went in the wood I keep an eye of any kreature, and help if help is needed,.. Thank you steave for your spirit, for your love that splached via TV to me.. I love animals from shortest to biggest.. And I will help as long as I can and teach my children and meanwhile my grandchildren.. Ceep nature and protect the guis that needs help.. Thank you Terry, bindy and Bob Jr. For forward stefes work. Keep going... You are an fantastic family!!!
My hero!!Steve Irwin......He inspired me and forced me to tune in to Animal planet from a very young age. As a young Telugu boy i shared the same kind of enthusiasm for my country's wildlife as he did and today i am doing what i love, saving animals.. RIP steve
Pennsylvania..He was my hero. Bob, you are my hero, too. Here is a big, big hug! You and Steve will be together once again one day. You, your entire family inspired me passionately to fight for those animals who need our help and voices! I am still at it. Bob, we give you our love and our prayers to smile, to feel at peace that you all taught us well.
steve was a rarity. for as famous as he got, he remained humble. and he always stayed true to himself and his #1 cause. people love mocking him but the reality is that he changed the way people view wildlife and he changed how people feel about wildlife and our planet. thats huge. the world needs more people like him.
Steve Irwin is still everyone's hero, even though he is no longer with us. His work still continues on and he's still with us when we preserve and keep animals alive.
lesley mcmillan I find it sad that you see her that way. She doesn't come across that way at all to me. They have to stay in the limelight to keep awareness & money coming into the zoo. He was her husband. She lost the love of her life. She doesn't have to move on or drop the Irwin name. She has done a beautiful job of raising her kids with Steve's wildlife passion and keeping the zoo running.
We cant know exactly what's between Bob and Terri but Steve used show business to further the conservation cause and funding. Terri seems to use the zoo and Steve's memory to promote the kids and her show business career. The zoo and wildlife hospital have lost educated and experienced original staff. While Steve wouldn't settle for second best on his team, the management at Australia Zoo the veterinary hospital or any other project but they sure do now over there. The kids seem sweet and lovely and now they are older can hopefully establish a relationship on their own. We can hope. www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/australia-zoo-crisis-humans-and-animals-both-mistreated-say-exstaff/news-story/800814c563974eb359c4aacd4bcd3682
The biggest mistake Bob made was handing the zoo over to Steve & Terri after their wedding. He should have kept ownership until after his death, but he was too generous and had no idea this would all happen. I feel so bad he got turfed out and has no relationship with his grandkids that would've helped heal his heart. Bob was Steve's absolute hero. He even named his son after him, of course after Steve's death it suddenly was changed to Robert. In all the vids with Steve he called him 'Baby Bob'.
Steve was so passionate about wildlife and his attitude was infectious! He had everyone loving wildlife, and no one can or probably ever, take his place. I loved their programs!!! Sure miss him!! I did love Croc Diaries, as it showcased the people at the zoo! Briano, Wes, Jody, Kelsey and others became wildlife representatives. I wish the documentaries had continued, as Steve would want people doing what he did; trying to educate people about wildlife!!
I really enjoyed this program! I always felt for Bob Irwin and what he went through losing his son Steve! It was so great seeing the team reconnect with him…. Bob was the real deal 🥰
Steve Irwin was, and will always be, the world's one true superhero! He was a living superhero! Amazing! The world will never be the same without him. The world will never be the same because of him! You made us all love animals! Good job Steve! Love from Texas
Its still very depressing to me to revisit the Crocodile Hunter video’s. Equally sad Terri Irwin is on the outs with Bob Irwin, it’s just wrong. Love Bob Irwin and the Croc Team!
As also a fellow nature enthusiast (tho nobody can beat the og Steve Irwin) it's never what he would've wanted. He left a legacy and got people to thinking about the welfare of animals besides the cute, fuzzy, cuddly ones. The snakes, gators, turtles and the like, that before then nobody batted an eye if a gator had to be out down, clearing a swamp or whatever. Life happens, but legacies live on. He sure left one for his passion for nature and showing its awesomeness thru his selflessness and giving back.
There’ll never be anyone like Steve again, his dad, wife and kids do come close, but listening to Steve was just mesmerising, he just grabbed your attention if you wanted too or not. An amazing man has gone, but his memory will stay on forever. R.I.P. mate
Steve Irwin was family to all of us who watched him. He was so extremely magnificent and magnetic. Its honestly completely unexplainable! I'm grateful that we have Chandlers wild life and dingo. There are so many more but those 2 have Steve's magnetism and knowledge...that unexplainable energy. My kids even love Steve. He's the most beautiful legend of all. We love learning from him and his family even today.
When I heard the news, I hung to watch the news to hear he pulled through. I was guttered that he didn't. His energy & positivity was magic and I am glad the world had him, sadly for too short of a time. Love him to bits.
I remember exactly where I was when my daughter told me Steve had died, I said Bullshit, I honestly thought was making it up. How could Steve die, I am an Aussie, and he was larger than life! There is no way he had died, but I heard it on the radio, and knew it was true. I truly hope Bob is OK, and spending time with his grandchildren, and teaching them both about Steve, and what a larrikin he was. He was a true Aussie!!!!
That reunion must been very emotional for everyone, is explainable why Steve famally and the rest of the zoo workers couldn't be in this reunion it was probably tough for them. this group and the rest had learn so much from Steve and still strong about the conservation of animals, Steve left a legacy behind him to his past and present crew and his family as well.
This guy was my hero as a kid, i watched his show every day and i loved him dearly. He made everybody around the world feel like his friend while teaching you about conservation.
a parently, god needed an animal expert so he called upon steve irwin. I enjoyed there program,a bought animals,and the Australian life ,and the Australian zoo ,thank you steve & terrier .
I remember being about 5-6 at a family friends house hearing this on the news and every single one of us my family and the family friends burst into tears instantly
He was my first celebrity that made me cry. R.I.P I wanted to be him growing up. I would volunteer at Oregon Zoo and he inspired me to educate the public on Animals. It was a big part of my upbringing
Steve Irwin was and will always be the best. The day we lost Steve I was working at ups and I remember being so saddened by the news. To this day I get teary eyed thinking about how much he truly meant to all of us that enjoyed him.
Don't roll Terry into a 'yank'. There are many, many Americans who love animals and conservation and would not try to cash in on a horrible tragedy. Opportunists are beyond borders
Terri is an innocent in this. She lost her soul mate, thats an awful large wound..she loves animals too and her children and the zoo, she would never do anything to disrespect steve or her children
There isn't much priority on conservation at Australia Zoo but more on show business. His influence and that of Steve's mom's spirit, upbringing and friendship taught Steve to have the priorities and knowledge that he had and they created the zoo as their lives work. This man who was with Steve on the day he died explained how his low opinion of Steve as a serious naturalist and conservationist was changed after a conversation with Steve as he explained his strategy of how he used show business and his image as a means to promote conservation . Terri and her almost completely void of original senior staff at the zoo and vet hospital use that to make money and as a means to further show business careers. See above article I posted on problems in management. By comparison those who Steve trusted and worked with are quietly continuing their work in conservation with the same idealism.
Roze Bronson disgusting way to portray your opinion. Less is always more. Perhaps if you said your bit with some eloquence I’d look further into what you’re saying.
Remember that when Terri met Steve, he was the owner of a tiny reptile park and nothing was videotaped or on TV. Steve was an unknown person with a small zoo. Terri loved him and gave up her life and wildlife persuits here, to move to a different country, with animals she wasn't familiar with! I wish people would stop putting her down. Neither she nor Steve were TV "Personalities" at the time! She never pushed him into anything; he loved what he was doing!

@@spacewitchvulcan From what I recall Bob didn't agree with the direction they were taking the zoo...over-commercialized with less quality care for the animals.
I read where Bindi was quite young and was so excited to get a present from her 'poppy', only to open it and see that he had opened her present to him and returned it. She tried a few more times to connect, then finally gave up. Let's not place blame since we don't know both sides of the story.
Bob wanted the zoo to be a reserve and he said terri turned the zoo into an amusement park. That's why the whole family is separated.. he wasn't invited to bindis wedding on March 27th to Chandler
I feel so sorry for Bob, not only did he lose his son but also his grandchildren and his connection to Steve.
Bob's interviews broke my heart. No parent no matter how old should have to bury their child.
wolflord4 I sympathize, but Terri has to power on because she had two children. She’s done an awesome job. Life moves forward and if you’re stuck in the past then you’re missing out on the most important part of him now, his children and their progress as they take their father’s journey to the next level.
True, plus he had already had to bury his wife in very tragic circumstances. The zoo is Lynne, Bob and Steve and his sister's. I just see it as an Americanized money making version now. The new wave of Irwins spend their time traveling the world in luxury, Terri takes a helicopter each morning from the zoo to goodness knows where, it's all changed.
I loved him when I was a baby, and I’m 28 now and Steve is still and ALWAYS, will be a role model to me, and my Hero!💪🏼 I really look forward to meeting him in Paradise, with all the creatures God created close by!😌
We will never forget him. Rest in peace Steve. we miss you mate
2019 you're still missed steve!
Lisa Love ....A decade later it still hurts doesn't it? What a loss we all took that day.
@@leebarnhart9725 For sure, when the very firsy episode came out i thought, this guy is a nut he's gonna die from a croc eating him live on T.V. while we are watching!! By the 3rd episode i wad in love with him and looking at dangerous animals in a whole different way. It's been 20 Year's since I've eaten meat and i donate my time helping strays and rescues, I've learned all life is precious.
@@lisalove272 I remember the guys at my job talking about it when it happened i couldnt stop thinking about him for days. Still hurts when i see his son on tv
2021 still missing Steve
2024 😢
I was watching my Croc Hunter DVD to fall asleep to when Steve was passing. Woke up that morning and heard the news. Cried too many tears..... still cry for him this day. Been decades there about. Fuck
Amanda, I cried through this whole video, and the special reunion. I was filling out papers to be a volunteer at the zoo when Steve died. I missed seeing each and every one of you all. Here in PA we felt world's away and totally lost. I will love you all forever!! Hugs and love! Steve opened my world to all animals. Good on you all, mates!
Bless the original crew from the Zoo for honouring both Bob and Steve
I wasn't able to watch this without breaking down into a fit of sobbing and crying.
I miss you, Steve, the world misses you.
Rest in Peace,
Nature's Hero.
Almost 10 years later and all of us here in Australia are poorer for his loss...
The whole world is poorer for the loss.
10 years? You cant fucking be serious.
L33t70mage we seen robert on fallon in the USA. Seems to us u still have steve, just younger!
It's been 12 years now. It only feels like 2 or 3 max. A bright light definitely went out that day, yet somehow I don't think he ever left us and is with us still :) I reckon he's doing some big things in spirit.
L33t70mage and us kiwis... we are Anzacs and we all loved Steve
You don't see anyone who can even compare with Steve Irwin, today! Yet, he certainly left behind such a gift for the young people to see with such excitement in his eyes, his smile and whole demeaner is something you just can never forget! He taught everyone to respect animals of all kind .. Thanks to God and his parent's for the time he gave to all of the animals and insight to film it for the whole world see! What a legacy!! Surely God had in mind a special gift for Steve, not only here, but no doubt in heaven, too!! RIP Steve ..
Thanks to Steve I became a Park Ranger in America. Looking back it pains me to think this abnormally jovial man is no longer on Earth. But if I was able to choose how I would die, I'd want to die doing what I love just like Steve.
Johnny Football the same for my son he quit his job and went back to school for conservation and teaching people to love animals
Johnny Football His wife, children & father are all carrying on the conservation message.
God this brought tears to my eyes such an amazing guy good to see the team all getting back in touch especially for Bob he is Steves dad after all 🐊🐍🐢🐜🕷🐋
May 1, 2019 ~ Well Steve 4 more yrs have passed. So now your 61 // I still watch you on Animal planet and The good news is your the same! You're full of energy, and teaching us all about the love of the wild and what it's like to grow up in a zoo. You're Dad said it best Steve. All the animals will miss you. Thanks for sharing it all including the birth of your daughter Binnie. See you soon
Fuck man! That man should still be here damn it. The animal world needed him so badly. He's missed and remembered with love. RIP Mr Irwin
When I was a kid I turned on Animal planet. Steve Irwin's memorial service was live. I thought it was a retirement ceremony to congratulate Steve on a Amazing career at the zoo. It only took me 2 years to realize Steve didn't retire, and he was never coming back. It was a hard time for me
Gabe Jersey it took you two year dumbass
Adriano Meneses i was 8 back then, i didnt understand death
Adriano Meneses was that really called for ? Idiot
i was 9 when he died i understood he had died and cried the entire service
MC Bowl dumbass
Steve loved his dad so much this would break his heart
Still remember when my mum told me he had passed away. I remember being shocked and I was sitting on my couch. As an 8-year-old kid, I watched him on Animal Planet and he always made me smile
I remember coming back from high school in a hurry just to watch the crocodile hunter. Steve and his crew taught me so much about animals. Would never miss a show. Steve was a gift to the world and his life was short but left a lasting impact on millions of people- rest in peace Steve. From South Africa.
Im a very strong and tough man but when it comes to Steve I cant hold back the tears. He is a true gentleman and full of compassion and empathy. I will always miss you Steve
He was my hero, my inspiration, the reason I believe in hope. He reached me in Texas and the first time I saw him on the television screen, I thought he was a maniac getting that close to snakes and crocs like that. But over the years I’ve finally figured out the reason he was doing this. One thing I always remember is that he always had you hooked when you knew he was going to do something wrong. I love you Steve Irwin!! I hope to visit Australia zoo soon and see all the wildlife that I have yet to see face to face here in Texas. Rest in paradise Steve Irwin!❤️❤️❤️🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
There will never be no one as great as Steve. Meeting him was my dream But now I want to visit his zoo and meet his family. RIP STEVE
Yes I remember where I was when we heard he died, I was in a Starbucks and we saw it in the newspaper at the star bucks. I remember thinking that cant be possible and felt bad for him and his family that his life was cut short. I remember his family was strong at the funeral especially Bindi. I am glad to see that his family is doing well today and have kept the zoo that has become larger.
Sheri-myvideos
Rest in peace Steve you will be missed I enjoyed your show I'm sorry for you lost
Poor Bob, knowing he is still estranged from Steve's family. It's very sad 😢
It’s his own fault
@@tula7141 why?
She sacked all his family from the zoo and got rid of Bob.She changed her son's name back to Robert so he is no longer named for his father
Wes has left too
Steve Irwin will always be missed by fans all over the world . The man with nerves of steel .
RIP Steve Irwin i Will never forget you😢❤️🐊
I have always wondered what happened to Steve's dad, as I thought he got a bit of a raw deal. THANK YOU so much for this, now I know he's fit and healthy doing what he loves best 👍👏🤔🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
If anyone here knows his family share this message with them it wont do anything but i would like for them to know that his death even hit us overseas. In 2006 Iraq in the morning as were getting ready to run operations we saw his passing on the news and it hit us so hard we even stopped operations to have a moment of silence for him. Our entire company honored him as if we lost one of our own. What a tragedy for such a bad ass guy :(
I still feel like I lost a best friend..
💖
STRAY LGK ....We did.
Steve Irwin was my hero growing up and in some ways still very much is, growing up being disabled as a child made it very tough to do the extreme but Steve showed me the little things in life and how important it was to conserve even the smallest of critters, i didn't need to be head jumping crocs or anything but just to acknowledge we live among a multitude of wildlife and how vital they are to our planet, protecting us from them and vice versa was more important then anything, I might not be out and about doing things for our environment and wildlife but the inspiration he's always been giving me has helped me learn so much and while I cant always do the physical I can pass along my knowledge to educate others like he did for me, he was a fool but that was the whole point, it got us watching and listening
Every time I see him my heart both heals and breaks at the same time. He was my hero as a kid and still is. Everything that I am when it comes to animals and wildlife is because of two people. My papa and Steve Irwin. Hopefully my papa finally got to meet our hero up in heaven
I remember being a kid and finding out that Steve Irwin had died. Broke my heart and I had never met the man. The world mourned. Our loss wasn't as great as Terri's and Bindi's and Robert's, but the world shared a tiny bit of the grief with the Irwins. He inspired us all and I think of him often.
Steve Irwin was everything I ever wanted to be. What a privilege and joy it must have been to work with him and be accepted into his trusted circle. You don't have to be Steve Irwin to do the good work. He inspired me and millions of others. I love you, Steve!!
Calling from Germany, I did never met him, and I will never see the zoo, but I thought I lost a very, very good fried, as he past away. I try to help anymals, all around me, sie dogs (5) around me, always remember me, how important it is to ceep and protect Natur and animals, a rescue the most of my docs, and even when I went in the wood I keep an eye of any kreature, and help if help is needed,.. Thank you steave for your spirit, for your love that splached via TV to me.. I love animals from shortest to biggest.. And I will help as long as I can and teach my children and meanwhile my grandchildren.. Ceep nature and protect the guis that needs help.. Thank you Terry, bindy and Bob Jr. For forward stefes work. Keep going... You are an fantastic family!!!
SUCH A LOVING DAD
My hero!!Steve Irwin......He inspired me and forced me to tune in to Animal planet from a very young age. As a young Telugu boy i shared the same kind of enthusiasm for my country's wildlife as he did and today i am doing what i love, saving animals.. RIP steve
Thank you for this lovely video
Steve Irwin you was my hero, and still am , I would of loved to have met you, RIP Steve sleep tight
Pennsylvania..He was my hero. Bob, you are my hero, too. Here is a big, big hug! You and Steve will be together once again one day. You, your entire family inspired me passionately to fight for those animals who need our help and voices! I am still at it. Bob, we give you our love and our prayers to smile, to feel at peace that you all taught us well.
steve was a rarity. for as famous as he got, he remained humble. and he always stayed true to himself and his #1 cause. people love mocking him but the reality is that he changed the way people view wildlife and he changed how people feel about wildlife and our planet. thats huge. the world needs more people like him.
Steve Irwin was one of a kind! And after all these years we all still miss him
Steve Irwin was a great person still very missed
Wish Terri, Bindi and Bob could have come to this!
Steve Irwin is still everyone's hero, even though he is no longer with us. His work still continues on and he's still with us when we preserve and keep animals alive.
I hope one day Bob and Terri can solve their differences I'm sure Steve would have wanted that
lesley mcmillan I find it sad that you see her that way. She doesn't come across that way at all to me. They have to stay in the limelight to keep awareness & money coming into the zoo. He was her husband. She lost the love of her life. She doesn't have to move on or drop the Irwin name. She has done a beautiful job of raising her kids with Steve's wildlife passion and keeping the zoo running.
There are rumours circulating that Terri's been getting close with Russel Crowe. She might end up marrying him in the future.
Tilly Divine Shut your yap!
We cant know exactly what's between Bob and Terri but Steve used show business to further the conservation cause and funding. Terri seems to use the zoo and Steve's memory to promote the kids and her show business career. The zoo and wildlife hospital have lost educated and experienced original staff. While Steve wouldn't settle for second best on his team, the management at Australia Zoo the veterinary hospital or any other project but they sure do now over there.
The kids seem sweet and lovely and now they are older can hopefully establish a relationship on their own. We can hope.

The biggest mistake Bob made was handing the zoo over to Steve & Terri after their wedding. He should have kept ownership until after his death, but he was too generous and had no idea this would all happen. I feel so bad he got turfed out and has no relationship with his grandkids that would've helped heal his heart. Bob was Steve's absolute hero. He even named his son after him, of course after Steve's death it suddenly was changed to Robert. In all the vids with Steve he called him 'Baby Bob'.
I miss him. I grew up watching Steve. And it's still a huge loss I'm gald to see his kids follow his footsteps
This video is so heart warming...God Bless Everyone!!!
He was like a father or close uncle who passed for me the grief is still raw!! We love ya Steve Irwin, thank you for all your joy and knowledge!!
Steve was so passionate about wildlife and his attitude was infectious! He had everyone loving wildlife, and no one can or probably ever, take his place. I loved their programs!!! Sure miss him!! I did love Croc Diaries, as it showcased the people at the zoo! Briano, Wes, Jody, Kelsey and others became wildlife representatives. I wish the documentaries had continued, as Steve would want people doing what he did; trying to educate people about wildlife!!
Steve was a beauty. Loved that guy and his family. From 🇨🇦
the father deserves more respect too, he is missing his son so, they seem cruel to him?
One of the worst things that can happen to a parent, is having to bury their children.
@@mikkelnpetersen The worst
I really enjoyed this program!
I always felt for Bob Irwin and what he went through losing his son Steve! It was so great seeing the team reconnect with him…. Bob was the real deal 🥰
He was a plus dad, a good father grandfather also. I followed them from the very beginning, even before his beloved mum passed on..
Steve Irwin was, and will always be, the world's one true superhero! He was a living superhero! Amazing! The world will never be the same without him. The world will never be the same because of him! You made us all love animals! Good job Steve! Love from Texas
Its still very depressing to me to revisit the Crocodile Hunter video’s. Equally sad Terri Irwin is on the outs with Bob Irwin, it’s just wrong. Love Bob Irwin and the Croc Team!
As also a fellow nature enthusiast (tho nobody can beat the og Steve Irwin) it's never what he would've wanted. He left a legacy and got people to thinking about the welfare of animals besides the cute, fuzzy, cuddly ones. The snakes, gators, turtles and the like, that before then nobody batted an eye if a gator had to be out down, clearing a swamp or whatever. Life happens, but legacies live on. He sure left one for his passion for nature and showing its awesomeness thru his selflessness and giving back.
There’ll never be anyone like Steve again, his dad, wife and kids do come close, but listening to Steve was just mesmerising, he just grabbed your attention if you wanted too or not. An amazing man has gone, but his memory will stay on forever. R.I.P. mate
Steve Irwin was family to all of us who watched him. He was so extremely magnificent and magnetic. Its honestly completely unexplainable! I'm grateful that we have Chandlers wild life and dingo. There are so many more but those 2 have Steve's magnetism and knowledge...that unexplainable energy.
My kids even love Steve. He's the most beautiful legend of all. We love learning from him and his family even today.
I Have never been so sad about someone dying that I had never met, His loss is still extremely hard to take.
When I heard the news, I hung to watch the news to hear he pulled through. I was guttered that he didn't. His energy & positivity was magic and I am glad the world had him, sadly for too short of a time. Love him to bits.
Steve will always be remembered for generations. RIP brother We (Australians) miss you so god damn much mate.
Such true words and such respect to you. You deserve it. All my love to you Mr Bob Irwin
Such a shame that the family rift still exists...
Amazing man! The world learned so much...❤️💚💜💙
One of my very favorites to watch..on TV .
To watch this story...l could not keep from crying real tears...so sad and unexpected ..
steve irwin was the coolest when I was young. now as an adult I realize what an icon he was!
I remember exactly where I was when my daughter told me Steve had died, I said Bullshit, I honestly thought was making it up. How could Steve die, I am an
Aussie, and he was larger than life! There is no way he had died, but I heard it on the radio, and knew it was true. I truly hope Bob is OK, and spending time with his grandchildren, and teaching them both about Steve, and what a larrikin he was. He was a true Aussie!!!!
That reunion must been very emotional for everyone, is explainable why Steve famally and the rest of the zoo workers couldn't be in this reunion it was probably tough for them. this group and the rest had learn so much from Steve and still strong about the conservation of animals, Steve left a legacy behind him to his past and present crew and his family as well.
This guy was my hero as a kid, i watched his show every day and i loved him dearly. He made everybody around the world feel like his friend while teaching you about conservation.
Thanks for this story ❤
a parently, god needed an animal expert so he called upon steve irwin. I enjoyed there program,a bought animals,and the Australian life ,and the Australian zoo ,thank you steve & terrier .
I remember being about 5-6 at a family friends house hearing this on the news and every single one of us my family and the family friends burst into tears instantly
I never had parents. I looked up to steve like noone else. When he died I didnt believe it. We didnt deserve him.
He was my first celebrity that made me cry. R.I.P I wanted to be him growing up. I would volunteer at Oregon Zoo and he inspired me to educate the public on Animals. It was a big part of my upbringing
That was amazing, I'm sure Steve was there with you all!
Great to see Bob is close to your heart's wonderful story.not fake very natural very relaxing to watch.
I never knew that Steve loved to surf! I love this man so much, before and ever after
He was my hero and one of the main reasons I moved to Australia!!!
i miss you
Steve Irwin was and will always be the best. The day we lost Steve I was working at ups and I remember being so saddened by the news. To this day I get teary eyed thinking about how much he truly meant to all of us that enjoyed him.
Cóż można innego powiedzieć poza tym co widzimy człowiek wyjątkowy którego nie można zastąpić innym człowiekiem❤❤❤
watching this just breaks my heart, and i couldn't stop crying
Don't roll Terry into a 'yank'. There are many, many Americans who love animals and conservation and would not try to cash in on a horrible tragedy. Opportunists are beyond borders
Terri is an innocent in this. She lost her soul mate, thats an awful large wound..she loves animals too and her children and the zoo, she would never do anything to disrespect steve or her children
Brianna Lindsey www.couriermail.com.au/news/queensland/australia-zoo-crisis-humans-and-animals-both-mistreated-say-exstaff/news-story/800814c563974eb359c4aacd4bcd3682?nk=30f1787a4bb1149e1d0167932790753b-1529934356
There isn't much priority on conservation at Australia Zoo but more on show business. His influence and that of Steve's mom's spirit, upbringing and friendship taught Steve to have the priorities and knowledge that he had and they created the zoo as their lives work.
This man who was with Steve on the day he died explained how his low opinion of Steve as a serious naturalist and conservationist was changed after a conversation with Steve as he explained his strategy of how he used show business and his image as a means to promote conservation . Terri and her almost completely void of original senior staff at the zoo and vet hospital use that to make money and as a means to further show business careers. See above article I posted on problems in management.
By comparison those who Steve trusted and worked with are quietly continuing their work in conservation with the same idealism.
Roze Bronson disgusting way to portray your opinion. Less is always more. Perhaps if you said your bit with some eloquence I’d look further into what you’re saying.
Pergola Perogies I very much appreciate and respect you for saying what you said and the way in which you said it.
Remember that when Terri met Steve, he was the owner of a tiny reptile park and nothing was videotaped or on TV. Steve was an unknown person with a small zoo. Terri loved him and gave up her life and wildlife persuits here, to move to a different country, with animals she wasn't familiar with! I wish people would stop putting her down. Neither she nor Steve were TV "Personalities" at the time! She never pushed him into anything; he loved what he was doing!
We missed you Steve Im sure his in a good place with sui
Im crying this is the first time i have watched this story. We miss ya mate 🌞 rip 🦋
I get emotional just watching this. Steve was so special.
Could we have a Steve Erwin holiday to celebrate his life every year. I still miss him. 😊
@Rhys Tuala thank you. My spelling is pretty bad. But my heart is in the right place. 😊
He changed the world of all animals with his love and teachings. I wish I could have met him.
