It just tears me up inside to think that a man like him, somebody who genuinely cared about animals to the point that he would consider a bird's life to be more important then his, would pass away many years too young.
He was truly and man among mice and one of the lights in this world of shady people. I remember during one documentary there was a brush fire and he'd jump in before the flames reached certain areas and he'd rescue geckos and mice and all other small kinds of animals and bring them to a place where the fire had already passed. And then he would go throughout the places where the fire had passed and rescue animals that could have a chance of living. He picked up a gecko had true emotionally driven tears running down his face and said, "This lil ah heck just isn't going to make it but the least we can do is be there during its last moments."
If this isn't true emotion, true heart and feeling and love and compassion then I don't know what is. I'm willing to bet all the riches in the world that Steve Irwin wishes and wished the best for the StingRay that had pierced his heart. The StingRay did more then Pierce Steve's heart but he pierced the heart of millions and millions of people including myself whom had literally grown up as a child admiring him and his every movement and tear jerking, awe inspiring love.

I feel sorry for his family, because the dumbass finally got himself killed and abandoned them, but why are we mourning this moron more than anyone else who has died? So he helped some zoo's, that is admirable, but not tear-worthy. Frankly he was asking for it and finally got it. I don't see people making such a fuss everytime a police officer or other public servant dies; they did a helluva lot more for the public good than Steve Irwin ever did :roll:
But again,for the family
