it seems his family has refused the Australia Governments offer for a State Funeral ... and instead will have a private funeral for friends and family within 7 days ... but they are gonna have a memorial service i believe within 2 weeks ...

It's just the saddest thing that happened recently... I remember my sundays watching him on animal planet...tho I wasn't a big fan of the program...but he was such a great person, another person with great knowledge and beutifull charm we lose... he was young, and with his very little son, and wife. He died doing what he loved to do...but still it's not fair... anything seems to be fair in this life.

He did die what he loved doing. But its still very sad.
What i liked best about him was the fact that he loved the enviroment and was very concerned about conservation. He was a good role model in this way to get people more conserned about conservation.

He did a lot in his time on earth..here are a few things he did in his lifetime
He founded the Steve Irwin Conservation Foundation which is at the forefront of protecting habitats and wildlife, creating rescue programs for some of Australia's most beloved creatures, as well as the leading in scientific research that will help save endangered species for generations to come.
Steve helped found the International Crocodile Rescue. For decades he has been on the front lines of crocodile management programs in Queensland, and around the world. Steve does everything in his power to keep rogue crocodiles alive and well, including sacrificing himself.
In memory of his wonderful mother, Steve founded the Lyn Irwin Memorial Fund. All donations go directly to the Iron Bark Station Wildlife Rehabilitation Center with 3,450 acres of wildlife sanctuary. He also owns 83,000 acres of endangered Acacia Woodland in southwestern Queensland called Westbore and started the Brigalow Belt Conservation Project. Thats not all. Steve is buying up enormous portions of Australia for the sole purpose of conserving habitats for wildlife.
Steve Irwin is responsible for starting endangered species breeding programs for the Southern Cassowary, Koalas, Fijian Crested Iguanas, Bilby Rhinoceros Iguanas, Galapagos Giant Land Tortoises, Aldabran Giant Land Tortoises, Mary River Turtles, Peregrine Falcons, Komodo Dragons, and Irwins Turtles -- a newly-discovered breed named after Steve himself. He has also established breeding programs for such vulnerable species as Tasmanian Devils, Wombats, Echidnas, Red Kangaroos, Asian Small-Clawed Otters, Queensland Womas, Death Adders, Rusty Monitors, Canopy Goannas, Yakka Skinks, Reticulated Pythons, Burmese Pythons, Australian Green Pythons, Sea Snakes, Black Cockatoos, Jabirus, Curlews, and his beloved Saltwater Crocodiles.
Steve has helped fund field studies for scores of species of crocodilians, lizards, snakes, mammals, and birds in order to help stave off their habitat destruction and learn exactly what it is those species need to survive. Even today we are learning things we never knew about all sorts of animals, all because of Steve Irwin's work. He is also responsible for the rescue and well-being of thousands upon thousands of animals from all around Australia. His devotion of wildlife and conservation cannot be questioned.
But the most precious of all his accomplishments is Steve Irwin's ability to educate and entertain. He has single-handedly raised conservation awareness across the globe. His message has literally gotten to millions of people in many different languages

Poor man, He was really the craziest man i have ever seen! It`s very sad that he was killed during another adventure.
'He loved animal, he fight with beasts, and finally he was killed by animal'
Maybe this was the most appropriate way for him to end his interesting life

It`s no matter what you know, it`s matter what you can prove...
