Guess you have heard that Steve Irwin died during an undersea filming accident. I am a herp fan and have always respected and will miss him. |

OH, that is a bummer! My daughter will be upset! While I always thought he was a bit ridiculous in his stunts and so forth, I never wished this! Very sad, and only 44! He had just begun to live!  _________ http://www.3reef.com/uploads/BirdSig3.jpgI Love My Sig By John Hawkins!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it was a joke at first. I can't believe he died and freakish at that-a stingray's barb went under his ribcage as he was lying on top of a ray and pierced his heart...Very sad!! I liked him as did my three kids. I know that sometimes he seemed kind of crazy in his approaches to catching poisonous snakes etc., however i'm sure he had a pretty conceived notion of what he was doing and how he was going to go about it without getting hurt.
Well he will be missed by many of us, moreso by his wife Terry and two kids.
Atleast I guess we can say he died doing what he loved to do and hopefully didn't have to suffer. RIP Steve!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thanks for the thrills... _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.

Wow! Wierd that I hear the news on 3reef, before I hear it anywhere else. Steve was pretty cool. I'm thankful that he got to live his life the way he wanted. Sympathy to the Irwin family.

It's ironic. I would figure he would die wrestling crocodiles, but a stingray ended up taking his life.
He was filming a documentary on the GBR.
