It's so sad that Robert didn't get to grow up with Steve

[@StreetKxd]

Bindi barely did too

[@kelseychumney]

I’m just happy both the parents got to be together with both children for those 4 years. It makes me smile he was able to see his son be born, and spend those 4 years with all of them.

[@n1derland484]

Yea it is...

[@worldwhytf9429]

Steve lives on through Robert. The similarities, not only in looks; but in personality and heart and that smile... wow. Steve would be immensely proud of both of his children.

[@mickhack8034]

+world why TF i agree 100%, it's not even normal anymore how much robert resembles his father that i'm convinced that Steve's spirit went into him and now lives on

[@faithfulone3951]

Robert looks alot like his dad !!!! God bless the Irwins, I know Steve would be so proud of all of them

[@JDoe-hb7pc]

I hope Robert has 5 kids and so does his sister. The Irwins must live on. White people are having such little families lately.

[@dustincrops910]

I Hope he gets the same haircut :)

[@dorethaparks4467]

Robert looks just like his dad

[@alx.eialxx]

[@bryanbrooks4005]

Terri did a amazing job raising these kids.

[@chaclan05]

Steve may have died but his personality lives on through Robert.

[@njay4399]

It's very Annoying to me when people act like Robert is the only one doing great achievements when all 3 of them are all great stop not including them!!

[@franciscopuentes6049]

Yeah it would’ve been interesting to see how he would’ve grown up with Steve’s influence instead of just his mothers. Not saying that’s a bad thing, but boys need a masculine figure, and it might have been cool to have a man in the house instead of being the only male.. Who knows he’d probably be even more badass with his dad around to influence him.

[@hueningkawaii2310]

[@rebeccashare3745]

They are all incredible, beautiful people but no person on this earth has Steve’s energy and charisma which was for me the most captivating part of who he was to watch. He was and always will be the king

[@WickedRavenOne]

@@franciscopuentes6049 what an odd and outdated way of thinking. There are several male influences in a young mans life that step up. Uncles, cousins, grandfathers, coaches, teachers. I was a single mom that taught my son car repairs, sports and he's now in the military pursuing a great career. Don't be so close-minded.

[@Charharr]

@@WickedRavenOne Exactly. You'll often see Steve's best friend Wes in the background of videos especially looking out for Robert.

[@WickedRavenOne]

@@Charharr some of the least influential males can BE father's. They aren't all stellar. But there are great options to fill those shoes.

What beautiful, polite intelligent children/young adults now. What an amazing job Terri has done. He would be so sos proud of them all

[@heathern6147]

The fact that they act so cheerful all the time makes me worry about how sad they must really be sometimes. I lost my dad a long time ago and I can relate to the feeling, and like you just never got enough time

[@vuthearithkeary4704]

Well they are for sure still sad and it is sad. At the same time, they have to carry on and their dad would be honored with what they’re doing. RIP sir.

[@fuzzyx2face]

I’m sure they are really sad at times but Terri is such a strong woman and she probably raised the kids as if Steve would want her to. She has said in another video that he was such a fun dad and he wanted to let the kids get dirty and be kids and that’s why Terri probably made sure they were still living life the best they can even without Steve there. They have a zoo to care for and carry on their dads work and if the kids are healthy happy people then they can have the same enthusiasm for teaching the world about the animals and their importance. Terri is an awesome woman, Steve knew what he was doing when he married her

[@4gailow]

My gosh I miss that beautiful man. What a very sad day that was. All our hearts were broken. Steve would be very proud of his two kids. Terri, you’ve done a fine job. Much love Irwin’s. Canada loves you! ❤️🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦

[@paulg6527]

I watched steve irwin all the time growing up and the fact that his children and wife are continuing his legacy about conservation, education about wildlife is truly amazing.

[@barbaragregory2143]

Could not have said that any better

[@johnc1975]

There has to be a God because Steve and Terri were a match made in heaven, no amount of coincidence in the world could have produced that marriage and those kids.

[@OriginalPuro]

No, fantasy figures are just that, fantasy figures, but the fact that they found each other is still a perfect match.

[@johnc1975]

The man who first proposed the big bang theory, Belgian physicist Georges Lemaitre, who was on an intellectual level with Einstein, was a Catholic priest so I think it is safe to think he believed in a god and did not consider him a fantasy figure, but you are entitled to your opinion however illogical it may be.

[@joop69fainth44]

I love the irwins the whole family are great people

[@flowerpower6216]

+John C the universe and creation is god..god is not a person, its energy..we are all a piece of god and together we are one..energy...people just need to understand this and as long as there is religion we wont move forward..because they think jesus is god or jesus is the son of god..so hopeless..furthermore im surprised a belgian was the first to discover such a thing..bu I found out he was from the south of belgium, wallonia..they are the creative people..so im less surprised..

[@flowerpower6216]

they truly missed out on having him in their lives..they did good, but im sure he could have done much more..sometimes it angers me great people are taken away so early where criminals and terrorists get to live good lives...so unfair...

[@paballomolata3180]

Maybe some higher power or being believed that this world is too cruel

[@shaggyrogers7986]

That's because those terrorist and criminals will be in Hell, while Steve is in Heaven(likely).

[@lilmissvain1]

Flower Power I understand your frustrations. I died when I was 17 from hemorrhaging. I can tell you there is an after life and even though I don’t have all the answers I do believe that each and everyone of us has a purpose on this planet and when we have fulfilled our life’s purpose we are sent back home. He did his life’s work and is in heaven. Terrorists and people who do horrific things have yet to fulfill there purpose. I will not judge and say that they will all go to hell because I don’t hold that type of power. I do believe horrible people can change and be a message to others and unfortunately some will not. Free will was given to us and as much as I hate abuse, rape, murder GOD gave us free will to choose how to live our lives. God is watching us believe me. Steve impacted so many souls, his work was done.

[@eternalbliss330]

Celestial Fantasy girl i- what? You “died” yet your writing this comment? I’m confused lmao

[@kelseychumney]

emma 101 a lot of people have died, just because they’re still here doesn’t mean they didn’t. There’s been many cases of people actually dying and coming back to life. If they were brought back by medical help or by the grace of God. I think that’s what happened in her case. And a lot of people can tell you what they’ve seen and what they truly know, there is something greater. I hope that helped!

[@10000liverpool]

I still remember the day i turned on the T.V and the first thing i see is the news about Steve's death i tried really hard not to cry I literally grew up with him.

I grew up watchin him. so It hit me real hard, harder than anyone in the family (we loved watchin Steve together) when I saw the news about Steve passing. cried for weeks, was in a semi depressed state (my doctor couldn't believe an 11 year old/myself almost shut myself down because of a person I idolized so much growin up..)

[@tbest29]

God bless Steve. Watched his show and appreciated his love for animals and his love for everything.

[@lora3530]

I still miss all that he stood for and his great personality. Steve was such a genuine person . I can see the love that still radiates thru his wife for life, and his children forever .

[@kmo6708]

Lovely to see Steve’s kids take after him in how they care about and know so much about animals. Seen Robert on few clips on KZbin and can see a lot of Steve’s personality in him and it’s likely the main things he knows about what his dad was like will be what he’s heard from others or seen in videos of his dad as he was only 2 when he lost his dad.

[@natalierozean5989]

What an amazing family. Terry and Steve did something right. Such respectful children. So animated like their papa. Terry is so strong. She never broke. She was devastated and scared, but pulled it together not just survive for her kids, but saw to it that they thrived. She is amazing. She said that Steve was her “Happily ever after”. This is a bittersweet example of how true love strengthens each partner...without all Steve and Terry shared in their relationship. She may not have survived his death.

[@markkalfahs1047]

....by CRIKEY!!!!!!....hard to believe someone could be sooooooooooo constantly and consistently passionate and enthusiastic about their work....i wonder if he was chilled off screen?.....maybe he could even get excited about watching paint dry or rust oxidize....anyways, he is truly one of the great characters who ever appeared on television in a very positive and educational way......

At least he has more than others would, lot's of videos to see his dads personality and facial reactions and just his overall demeanor about him. God Bless you all!

[@FireWolf583]

What makes me sad is that they didn't ever really get a chance to grieve as a family or on their own... Steve was so famous that a lot of their life aspects was in the spotlight. They didn't get to grieve like a normal family or to grow up without a camera in their face.

[@vampiraJ]

VampWolf 23 it might have helped that almost the whole world loved and admired their dad. Everyone I knew grieved for him and his family. Knowing he was a positive figure to many might be a comfort. I do get what you’re saying about being so much in the spotlight though. That has to get annoying af. Peace to you! And the Irwin’s!

[@kelseychumney]

J Meee you’re right, it would give me comfort knowing my husband, son, or father left the world with as big as a mark as he did. I hope that it made them feel the same way. That he had so many people who loved him that it hurt the world when he passed. He truly did leave a mark of saddens and joy on anyone who got to know him and what he did. Hug your friends and family close guys.

I started crying after they said “where you been, been a long time” grew up watching him makes me proud to be Aussie

[@scrapbookedmemories7736]

Steve's love for his family is reflected in the present. That is the hallmark of a good dad. I think of the time when he had his baby in his hands as he encountered animals. Much of the world thought of it as risky, but I saw it as the essence of his fatherhood being neurologically passed to his legacy in his kids. He took advantage of every moment. Robert did not get to be an adult in the cage with his father, but he can say that there was a moment in time done with his dad, because Steve seized the moment. No experience was stolen away because Steve listened to his soul.
