Description Thank You: Thank you all very much for over 1,000 views and over 100 favorites. I really appreciate all the kind comments and all of you coming together to remember Steve with me.

Please do not disrespect my deviation by making ridiculous and blatant insults or disrespectful comments toward Steve Irwin, the things he did, or toward me. This deviation is meant to bring people together so that they may reflect upon a great man.

Steve Irwin died on September 03, 2006. He was filming a documentary near the Great Barrier Reef when a sting ray pierced him in the heart with it's poisonous barbs. Emergency crews declared him dead on the scene. Irwin is survived by his wife and two children.

This is my personal tribute to the Croc Hunter. He was a great man who put a lot of devotion into animals and earth. He will be sorely missed.

Note: If I put this in the wrong catagory, then please let me know.

EDIT: I've moved this deviation to scraps. I'll still keep it as my featured deviation. However, I think this is clogging up my real gallery. All my stats are pointed toward this picture, and it's not really my art. So, I'm moving it to scraps with sadness. However, this will not change the true meaning of the picture or how I feel about it. Thank you.

,._., *sniff* A great, great man passed away that day... and the world will mourn his death. What's worse to add to this tragedy are some people's heartless slanders against him...

This picture is beautiful, by the way.. it really shows what he's about. Wildlife and showing us just how amazing it can be.

That pictures is a good way to remember
him. I always thought that his love for animals
came across so clearly in his shows. I know
some did not care for him that much, but I
for one loved watching him. He will be missed.
Thank you TopazKitty for the lovely memorial picture that shows Steve at his best.

All thoughout his life he came face to face
with the most dangerous creatures.. And
never got himself killed.. At first I thought he was eaten or killed by the thing he loves most, crocks.. But a sting ray? What a way to go.. I never
cry for the dead but he is the only one true animal lover I truly liked..

Awww..sniffle. I was a fan when I was little. I mean, I LOVED his show when I was little. Now, it's later, and I'd forgotten about him, and all of a sudden, no more Croc Files. It just hit so fast! I miss Steve! *sniffle*

This is a good way to remember him. He made many of us laugh and he made us cringe at his insane risks. This man knew the dangers, he knew the risks. It's a real shame to the whole world that he was caught out by Nature, which he strived to protect and to educate people with.
