Famous Pisces - February 22, 1962 - Steve Irwin - The Crocodile Hunter

Stephen Robert Irwin (22 February 1962 – 4 September 2006), known simply as Steve Irwin and nicknamed "The Crocodile Hunter", was an iconic Australian television personality, wildlife expert, and conservationist. He achieved world-wide fame from the television program The Crocodile Hunter, an internationally broadcast wildlife documentary series co-hosted with his wife Terri Irwin. Together, they also co-owned and operated Australia Zoo, founded by his parents in Beerwah, Queensland. He died in 2006 after his chest was fatally pierced by a stingray barb whilst filming in Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

 

Steve Irwin was by far one of the most amazing people to ever inhabit this planet and his tragic death has affected me more than any death I've ever known. It pains me greatly that someone with so much great energy and so full of life is no longer able to share this journey with us. What he did with his life and work had such an amazing impact in such a positive way, what a hero. May he rest in peace eternally and his presence remain within us and upon us and his spirit live on forever. I am forever thankful for the impact he made during his time here, and he certainly shall never be forgotten.

Thanks a million Steve, may your children and widow carry the torch for you with honor.

White light and warm energies to the entire Irwin family, may peace be with you and help guide you on your way through this time that we all have to find a way to get through without you.
