Love him or hate him...you had to respect his ideals. He will be missed.

Yeah, I've swum with the stingrays and always thought them to be quite docile creatures. Guess he must have startled one.

Poor bugger, I actually liked him

Sad but at least he lived life at a million miles an hour and fit more into his 44 years than most RIP Stevo

So, so, so sad......

That guy always smiled regardless of what was happening around him. Reminds me of a bottle of soda, fizzing and ready to burst. We were goin to go and have a looksie at his zoo end of this year but I dont think it would be the same now..........

RIP Steveo

Oh that's tough man,and his kids will grow up not experiancing what a super bloke he was.He was full on and totaly pashionate about what he did,that really came out in the programs,no bullshit there.And he could even parody himself,you won't find many people capable of that - RIP Steve,thanks for reaching out to us,using the stupid television for good.

R I P Steve, but i bet he never thought a fish would get him

**Blackbird** · 4th September 2006, 17:32

We went to his zoo about 5 years ago and it's an incredible place. Sorry to say that just about everyone there hoped the crocs would get him including me but any life lost is sad.

RIP

was just watching his yesterday wrestling a croc in some indonesian mud pool. he's crazy, but passionate, and that's what counted - you've got to respect him for that.

**ManDownUnder** · 4th September 2006, 17:37

The guy drove me nuts, and I wouldn't watch his shows if you paid me... but anyone with that kind of infectious, genuine enthusiasm gets my respect.

Credit where it's due.
