yes very sad. He will be missed.

*joins the snuggle saddly*

I agree with the sentiment in this pic.
:(

He will definately be missed. He was a sweet guy and he's leaving behind a wonderful wife and two lovely children.

But he at least went doing what he loved to do.

My sentiments exactly. :,(

*whimpers*

*awws* That man was just awesome, and he will be sorely missed. It's unfair that someone with such a zest for life had it taken away early.. :(

Dammit, now I'm depressed......

I don't think anyone could have said it better UV.

-_____-

Wheni first watched the show I thought to my self that he annoyed the animales jsut ot get reactions on camera and I was kind of upset but the mrore I watch the mre researc I did and the more I talked to people in Auz who knew him thr more I was made aare ofa whata rtender genuinely caring person he was. He died doing what he loved and I hope I can say the same for me He will be missed

Linda and I really loved him too. She called me late last night, crying at the news. He will be greatly missed. T_T

Great pic, UV. We love this.

Its a sad thing to see him go, I mean alot of us kinda saw this comming that he would die doing what he loved, but not so soon, he was something that most of us in our late teens and early 20s grew up with, a part of our childhood that we will never forget

Way, saw that this morning, man, of all the freak accidents. What a way to go.

Crickey :(

*takes his hat off and gives Steve a moment of silence*

I just found out when I turned on my computer this morning. This is really upsetting.

This just broke my heart. I'm really going to miss him.

;_; oh man.

I bet even his repilian friends realize he's gone, so this is quite fitting.

Very touching, thank you.

very sad indeed :C

oh steve :'o(

Not that I wanted him to die or anything, but it seemed to be the consensus of the Australians that I knew that Steven Irwin was kinda.. the guy they wish would just go away based on how annoying he was and how he seemed to stereotype Australia to the rest of the world.

You kidding? Australia loved the guy, he was pretty much a national hero...

WWHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA melts into a puddle of tears

"Cry".

croiky he's dead doopdedoo ! ^^

He was an inspiration to us all... RIP guardian of nature, youll be missed.

I saw this and at first thought it was a joke or something, then I saw the news reports and everything and well...you know :(

He was great guy...a bit odd, but a good heart.

its ashame yes

*hugs UV*

A friend told me about it this morning. I thought he was shitting me till i saw this. Man oh man I'm going to miss that crazy animal groping guy ;_; Animal planet just won't be the same. :(

;_;

I had to read about it in two places before I'd believe it was true... :(

When I saw this on CNN I honestly couldn't believe it. But alas I know its true, and its a sad truth to know that we must all endure the future ahead of us without him.

R.I.P. Steve Irwin, may your influence and legend exhist immortal.

Aside from the sad reality we have faced, thank you Ultraviolet for giving us something to remember him by. It's nicely done.

*whines* i just saw hat like an hour or so ago, he will be missed...

Thanks for this art.

It's amazing that in this world, with all it's major troubles, terrorism, war, politics, greed ... we are all, myself included, really upset by the death of this one man. It goes to show just how important he really was, not that I really thought of that till it was too late.

May you rest in peace Steve, and thanks for showing us all the importance of looking after those that share this planet with us and showing that there is beauty even in such species as many of us on this planet, for some reason, instictively distrust.

We'll miss you.


Snugs, Damoclien.

D':

whimper

mmmpff. its really a damn shame. >:{

It's hard to say goodbye to such a great man.

He will be missed.

I still don't want to believe it.

I never thought of it before but now that he's gone I'm really kinda taken aback at this. I know he knew these kind of risks when it came to handling all kinds of wild animals but of all things a stingray??? It just doesn't seem like such a man with such a love for animals and nature should go out like that. I mean there's people killing eachother every day for some political idea and here's a man that dies showing the world living beings they'll probably never see in person but could have a serious effect on.
I guess I'm more broekn up about it than I thought.

Unfortunately, my mind automatically crosses 1960s puppet shows with Steve Irwin now... it's not so great.

He was a nutter, but we liked him for it!

He will be reborn, to once more roam the earth.

='(....

The news has travled so far so soon just shows how much he was loved. At least he died doing what he loved his poor wife and kids though.

I just found out about this last period at school, and I swear I thought that I was going to cry.. I didn't believe my friend at first.. But then I logged on any saw this. :'(

We'll all miss you Steve.. </3

He will be missed, but he will live on with us all!!!! being one of the braves and most daring men alive!!!!! he sure is a great Ideal...

What a way to go, though, am I right? Dude was hardcore to the end.

Its great to see how many people loved him, we shall all miss him

He will be missed badly

It might be odd to say this, but perhaps this will give some future generations another Irwin to watch and smile about... his daughter, who he passed a lot of his love of wild things on to, and who I'm sure will want to carry on his legacy.

And who knows? Maybe Steve will get reincarnated as one fo the scaly types he loved... I think he would seriously enjoy being a croc himself. :)

Truely a sad day indeed. He will be missed greatly.

This is just so cute picture... and it was definately a sad thing. I agree, what else you can really say than crickey? :/

*sighs deeply and nudges in too* I was so struck by the news. I still can't believe he's gone. Sweet of you to do this for him.

This is awesome. I miss watching him on tv.

Is it ok that I color this. I'll give you the credit for the line-art.

Sure thing, as long as you link back to here and of course, give me a link when you post it so I can have a look and a fav <3

Thanks, sure thing. :3
