Enough Rope - Interview With Steve Irwin (6 October, 2003)

[@irishnessie]

There will never will be anyone like him again. One of a kind.

[@ClauDia-kn1hp]

Steve Irwin was incredible, like his family is. But Dean Schneider is one of that kind of human, kind to animals, protecting the wildlife. Steve will never be forgotten💗

Yup, Bindi and Chandler are new parents to a beautiful daughter named - -Grace Warrior Irwin Powell. Grace has of course taken the last name Powell. Steve is I’m sure sooo proud of Terri, Bindi and Robert and will always be with them. I miss Steve like everyone here does. His LEGACY LIVES ON!!! EDIT:

[@DrPhil-kx3ci]

Mate if someone is embarrassed of Steve, they have a lot to work on.

[@alyssaz5722]

he’s so unapologetically himself. he truly knows himself and his passions and that’s what everyone loves about him. RIP legend ❤

[@valerie362]

He really was a gem! He was a genuinely wonderful human. A great husband, father and friend to the earth. Spending their own money on land conservation, calling out false environmentalism, pointing out millionaires could all don the same.

[@cindykaye3152]

Purity is rare. I'm not talking about perfection. We are all flawed human beings, and Steve was no different. But one can be pure in the sense of being completely truthful, with no veneers, no facade, no manipulation-just full on real. That is who Steve was-pure! He was a beautiful human being and left behind an incredible legacy with his family. I'm so thankful Terri, Bindi, Robert and Chandler are carrying on his passion and teaching sweet Grace Warrior to love and respect our wildlife and Mother Earth. Rest in peace, Steve. And blessings to your wonderful family.

[@Dman9fp]

One of the best comments I've ever read of this legend, thanks for that... The ending of a book/movie/life is incredibly overrated, sure it's part of it but... Life is a dance and the "dash" on a tombstone representing All the successes, failures, rains, shines, and everything that we interacted with and loved, is beyond a cruel joke of existence. Life is about living, and reminiscing a legend is about appreciating what they made us realize &/or feel

[@hunnybunny4667]

Enjoyed reading your wise and heartfelt comments about Steve and his family :)

[@bevelvis4ever44]

STEVE IRWiN was one of the greatest persons that ever lived. He was humble, interesting, kind, most of all he wanted to help the environment. An the animals, People like that should live for ever. We miss you Steve IRWIN you passed away SO SAD AND TRAGIC.

[@Hutchman05]

What a passionate, loving, caring man. He was gifted and he shook the world with love. Rest in peace

He lived more days in his life than a lot of men who live to be 100. So in the end he lived longer than a lot of peeps.

Wish he could have doubled those years, though. I think he'd be sad to see what the world's become since he left.

Steve Irwin to Australians strikes me like Duck Dynasty to Americans...they probably viewed him as a hick that made them look crazy when they were trying to be dignified

[@puropsychobilly3995]

@Aria Drexler that sounds like a bit of disservice yo Steve's memory by implying he was robbing dignity from "regular" australians.

Everything you could imagine about a stereotypical Autralian, he's it and then some

[@NoNameJ1622]

Yeah Steve Irwin is truly one of a kind. That term is thrown around a lot, but for him it couldn’t be more true. He had a great heart and just exuded love. Love to animals, love to his family and love to strangers. I’m 25 years old and grew up watching Steve, and I still miss his presence on this earth. Now more than ever, we need someone like him. Rest easy Steve Irwin.

[@jamie8032]

don't be sad because he's gone, smile because he lived :)

[@browsman2328]

Steve was intelligent, quick witted and amazingly self aware. He knew some people thought he was a little over the top, but he realized that was the best way to get his message across because David Attenborough has the same message but is boring and has lower ratings, although he is still alive at 95. I also like Steve’s idea of buying animal habitat which is why I support the Nature Conservancy in the UU. and globally.

[@Scrub_Jake]

David might still be alive today but I have a feeling that his legacy won’t be quite as strong as ol SteveO’s

[@GIICA24]

"I drive a toyota"🤣🤣🤣

[@twstf8905]

He's just being his genuine, honest to goodness self and people can't help but watch him, just sitting down having a quiet conversation is so captivating, he exudes wide-eyed optimism and youthful exuberance, it's really a sight to behold lol people are laughing at his expressions when he's being completely serious, what a guy. In all my 40 something plus years, (lol) I've seen a few celebrities, famous people, and, "childhood heroes," come and go. Some well before their time, and many well too young for anybody to die. But NONE of them have affected me as deeply as when I heard that Steve Irwin was gone, I was about as devastated as anyone who didn't know him personally could be. Even though anybody could see something happening a mile away, with how close to wildlife he was literally every day, of course I wasn't surprised but it REALLY shook me to my core all the same. The entire WORLD lost significantly the day Steve Irwin died. 🙏

[@ericniesen1775]

Steve was a beautiful man. He makes jokes at his own expense about his intelligence but it's obvious how emotional and perceptive of a human he was. Everything he said about his wife and his children has only become more and more true as time has gone by.

[@hunnybunny4667]

Very well intuited! I wholeheartedly agree. Thank you for sharing.

[@karenlm9062]

The man was so present. You could look at the man and know he was 100% in the moment where ever he was. You didn't see him moaning about the past or just hoping for some day in the future. He was just right there with all his soul and energy. And he knew as long as he was who he was that the future would just take care of itself. We could all take a page from his book and apply it to our own lives.
