Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin passed away...

• meilani Posted : 9/6/2006 9:54:46 AM ORIGINAL: willowchow I've never been so effected by the death of a celebrity before.  I've been crying on and off since Monday and everyone thinks I've lost it.  I didn't know him but it was so great to have him in the world.    I felt the same way too. I normally do not get worked up over celebrity deaths but the death of Steve Irwin really hurt as if I knew him personally. I think it's because I could relate to him as he had an immense love for animals and a passion for crocs like I do my dogs. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• ColleenC Posted : 9/6/2006 9:56:11 PM When I heard, I thought my sister was lying to me.  Unfortunately, she was telling the truth this time.  The same day, I decided to keep one of my sugar glider joeys and have decided to give him a name that pays tribute to Steve Irwin.  I'm still not positive exactly what it will be, but it will fit no matter what since he is a small AUSTRALIAN marsupial.  It's my way of saying thanks to him! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
