He's an amazing guy and I can't stress how much he meant to me in my life. He's done so many AMAZING things

As I've already posted previously in the tribute thread:
"I grew up watching the croc hunter steve irwin and he was my childhood hero. He still is. 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."

So the point of this thread is not to once again glorify him but to bring up the point of the ATOT'ers who think they're badass for disrespecting and degrading his name.
I hope the moderators let me make this claim when I say that you should show a little more respect and alot less of your own ego trips.
