16 years later and I can still feel the grief and loss. There is a lot of emotion in this video.
Steve cries when a crocodile or any animal dies in front of him.... shows us how much he loved wildlife with all his heart.
😢😢😢
That's kinda unbelievable how one Man who people never knew personally could affect everyone around the world so much with his passing. People around the World cried when he died and that just tells how loved he was and what a great person he was.
Rest in Peace, Steve.
We miss you.
This world NEEDS more Steves.
Never forgotten ❤🙏🐊
🐊💔
YES: exactly !!!! The Irwin’s are a wonderful family. Even to this day; people still feel the loss of Steve. He was such a kind soul and very enthusiastic about his work………. We miss you Steve. 😢😢😢😢
Crocodile Hunter was the best we will miss him.
I NEVER MET STEVE BUT I CAN TELL HE HAD A HUGE HEART AND LOVED HIS FAMILY RIP STEVE IRWIN WE ALL MISS YOU.
We have bob!
I will say this.. Bindi and Bob are 2 of the most well behave, respectfully spoken, adjusted children _ now adults I’ve ever seen.
Isn't he called robbert now?
She’s his little, and you can tell both she and Robert love the camera it’s how the grew up. They are a perfect combo of their parents! They are the wild life family we grieved with too. Thanks Steve! You left a legacy!
It speaks volumes when Terri says "just remember to love him" 💛💛💛
I think it was said for Bindi.. not for TV. Beautiful 🤟😃

I grew up watching Crocodile Hunter everyday when I was a kid. When my parents told me an afternoon that he died during one of his last adventure I was speechless and extremely sad. Thank you very much for doing this documentary about the legendary Steve Irwin and I'm very happy to follow this channel. I've discovered the channel thanks to the News in Depth about the legacy of Chernobyl (the 4th September already a year has passed and Linton Bessel has done a very good reportage) and the only regret I have discovered it late. Greetings from Italy !
I was camping when my dad told me. Same reaction
@Frank Rogelio I already have access to your girlfriends imstagram. She leaves it logged in on my phone
This is so incredibly sad and tragic. I felt like I knew him, and he seemed like such a genuine real good man
Terri, Bindi and Robert carrying on with Steves work, keeping his legacy and conservation work alive surely makes him so proud as he looks down on them!
Probably the most loved Australian ... Rest In Peace Steve
Yeah he was his family isint ask most of Australia what the rest of the family did to his grandad shame only Americans like the family
@@debraodonnell4253 what?
@@miahooton387 why dont u read the history they dont give a shit about steves dad the one that built the zoo
@@debraodonnell4253 to be fair steve's kids have very little to do with the ongoing feud between terri and steves dad
im not excuseing terri's actions but dragig the rest of the family into it is a little inaccurate
Every year at some point I remember Steve Irwin and wish he was still around. Could never forget you legend!
A legend. Rest in peace Steve.
John, you also are a hero because you've captured all of these moments for the world to know about.
There are miles of movies of Steve interacting with his wife and children and the staff and visitors at the zoo... thanks to you, we can revisit those precious moments with Steve.
Yes, Steve loved this world, he loved his parents, he loved his siblings, he loved his friends and most especially, Steve loved his wife and their children.
Steve had a beautiful life and you helped the world to share it with him and share him with us.
Thank-you, John.
I wept watching this and I sobbed watching the memorial live in my home in Texas at the time in 2006. I stayed up all night because of the time difference. Steve was a one of a kind, an amazing man in every way, and so many of us miss him beyond words. Bindi is a very special and beautiful young lady and a true inspiration. Bob is awesome and Terry is an amazing, and strong woman as well. What a lovely family. God bless them..🙏
😢😢🙏🕊️🇦🇺👼
America LOVED Steve Irwin. And an entire generation of American kids and teenagers grew up watching him on TV and learning about wildlife, Australia, all of it. Americans have a strong bond with Australians. I think most of us consider Australians to be our brothers and sisters with cooler accents. Lol. The bond between Americans and Australians goes back through two World Wars, Vietnam, and Afghanistan. I’d argue it’s a closer bond than the one we have with Canada, in a lot of ways. The Irwin family is beloved beyond belief here in the States.
All those years ago..watching Steve and remembering the horror of his tragic death , but thinking too..HOW VERY MUCH HE HAS MISSED !
I have cried like a baby through this entire thing. I never realized how much Steve meant to me, not only as a human but as animal lover, family man & a conservationist until my later years. I'm sure he is so proud! To see his wife and kids grow up and think about how they lost such a tremendous enthusiastic and wonderful father just hurts me so much. Best of luck to Terry Bindy and Bob and Bindy's new kid. Steve, thank you for all that you have done and the inspiration that you have given so many and to his family for continuing on in is legacy and being amazing humans. Rip, so many years later. And to the film crew for capturing all of the amazing moments!
Wonderful, hard working, very caring man who died far too young 😕
it's crazy to know that Bindi is married with a child of her own and her brother is quite the photographer. Terri is a pillar.
I cant believe how long ago this was! Bindi is so grown up that she's having her own little girl with her husband Chandler
I watched Steve Irwin all the time as a kid. I remember hearing about his death on the radio when my mom drove me to school and I couldn’t believe it. Terri has done an amazing job raising her family.
Steve was a warm and kind hearted person. Am crying watching this: what a terrible loss for EVERYONE that knew him!! Also, for those of us that enjoyed his programs.
when he said "He was my hero" ......hit so hard.
He was one of mine too, second to my father.
I will NEVER forget where I was when I heard.
I was on the way to my wedding dress fitting and my twin sister stopped. She said “I don’t want you to hear this from anyone else” and then I cried and cried we were late.
I love him and always will.
May God be with his family and his memory be a blessing.
There aren’t really words. He is a global treasure and so is his magnificent family.
I live in NY. Grew up in CT. He belonged to the world. All the animals.
I have to stop writing. I know they don’t know me. But they are my family.
He burned so brightly. His son is the spit of him✨
My God help me it’s 2022 and I can cry a river right now.
Merciful mother of God I ask you for comfort for those he held close. 🌹✨
11:48 “and I can’t get past the back of the boat” sent shivers up my spine.
I live 20 minutes from this family on the Sunshine Coast and I’m so proud of them. They are all fabulous ambassadors for Australia 🇦🇺 and we adored Steve! 🙏
🐊💔
Steve left his life far to soon. He would be so proud of his family today. He’s a grandpa and how proud he would be of Bindi. RI.P Steve till you meet your family again. Look after all the animals in Heaven.🙏🙏🙏
The world cried that day, most humble captivating man! I see the Irvin kids growing up and He’d be very proud!
All these years later and the Irwins are still the most loved family in wildlife conservation. Bindi has proven those shrinks wrong by becoming a successful wildlife warrior and mother just like Terri, the whole team at Australia Zoo are amazing imho. ❤
I cried watching this. Man I still feel the loss of Steve.
My son and I still cry at the loss of Steve.
He's so missed. ❤💔
He was the icon of Australia, he still is, including his family. Aussies miss you Steve.
Ahhw bindi was always so cute !!
Damn... John’s “my world end with Steve” hit me 🥺
It still hurts all these years later
I'm not crying you're crying. All these years, I still miss Steve. 😭
What a great guy steve was. you can see his passion for all animals and his loss isnt only a loss to us mere humans but to the entire animal world. he is truly missed.
Such a beautiful compassionate resilient family
I don't think there was any other TV show in the world that get so much love and interest internationally. From people of all nations, cultures, political views, and religions.
RIP Steve Irwin. Ukraine will always remember you.
And God bless all the Irwins. Stay safe, take care, and let you and your beloved ones never knows what war is.
Steve lives on in All Our Hearts and All of the Animals, I still miss his smile and his beautiful outlook on life every day. One Beautiful Family!! ❤
God needed Steve in another place
He will live on in our wildlife loving hearts forever ♥️♥️♥️
I always loved animals and I loved watching crocodile hunter. I was in 3rd grade when Steve died. My parents heard it on the evening news the day that he died and told me before school the next day because they didn’t want me to find out from other students. A lot of my classmates were heartbroken. It was like we all lost an uncle and we never even met him. I can’t imagine the loss his friends and family felt.
A few weeks later, we had to do a presentation about our hero and a girl in my class chose Steve and cried the entire time she did her presentation over him. He touched so many lives and I hope I can do the same in my time.
Also want to add, that now I have a daughter who loves the wiggles and her favorite episode is the wiggly safari episode with Steve Irwin!
Steve Irwin will always be in our hearts❤🌷
It literally makes me sick to my stomach that i was on this earth with him alive at the same time wanting to be like him and meet him and he was taken from us by a stingray, if he JUST wouldn't have been there that day he would probably still be here with us. This world doesn't feel the same with his absence. So overwhelmingly sad and empty feeling.
Me too, mate.
But I try to comfort myself by telling me that he died doing what he absolutely loved and passionate about, on his own terms.
His death was a loss to teh whole world, especially to his family.
But there can be no better death for any man that a sudden and unexpected one. Hope you don't take this the wrong way. I loved and adored Steve just as much as you.
RIP Steve
@@harryg2484 I'm glad to have grown up watching Steve and terri's wild adventures with wildlife. Rip mate you're so sorely missed by all. He's also inspired me to want to love and do my part in conservation by always being respectful towards all wildlife.
I was only 1 I was born 05 he passed in 06
He knew the risks. He was pretty much playing Russian roulette with nature, and you can only get lucky for so long. May he RIP. 🙏
Ya it’s heartbreaking but now he’s up there with all the animals and is probably running the zoo up there we tbh he’s just so amazing and Steve you truly changed the way I think about are animals and I thank you you where taken way to soon but I know your up there watching your family
God rest Steves beautiful soul.💙
I’m so happy when I find a program with Steve Irwins family ! I loved Steve Irwins programmes ! The fantastic animal life !
Greetings from Sweden ! ❤️
Bindi has an almost 50/50 Aussie/American accent. It makes me so happy to see the Irwin family continuing to do what they love.
When Steve Irwin passed, wildlife lost a true hero. Thankful Steve's family is carrying on his legacy to make sure the wildlife species the world has now will be there for future generations because so many species have gone extinct due to heartless humans actions against them and their habitat. Blessings and protection to the Irwin family and all the wildlife conservationists!!!!
RIP Steve. Sadly missed in Australia 🇦🇺 and plenty of others places all over the world 🌎..
Love, love love the Irwin family !!!! ❤R.I.P. Steve you truly were one of the greatest humans to ever live in this cruel world
I still reme as a kid when my father told me he died , he meant so much to me as a kid !!! Glad he lives in through his family and the zoo.
I’m still shedding a tear when I see Steve and realise he’s gone 😪
We have lost a person that wanted the best for animals.
Suck a great person I remember watching his shows when I was little.
bindi has never said she didn't like it.. I want to go watch about her baby thats so happy and Robert grew up to be just like his dad.. its amazing
Wow we miss him so much! Happy wishes to his family!!!
He has a blessed family.
R.I.P Mr, Irwin.
The animals were made and put on this earth by THE Lord God Almighty - OUR Creator! They are for us to enjoy and take care of. He got to know and enjoy them more than most people. I'm glad his kids want to as well!
They are lucky to have such lovely men looking after them
I'll always remember when Steve took baby Bindi in close to the crocodiles and the world erupted in protest that he was a careless parent.
Such fools! Steve knew every characteristic of every creature and with his tremendous love for his children, he would never put them in danger.
When Terri wasn't worried about her child, why should anyone else be?
Yes, Terri did lose her Prince! They were soul mates.
Steve is one of kind. He's a hero to animals in the world. I miss you mate and i will never forget you.
I watched all thier shows clouding bindi's shows and I absolutely love thier family but Steve just touched me I made sure I watched ever show he put on. When he passed I was just shocked.
16 Years Without Steve 😭
I have so much love and respect for John ❤️ he's so strong with what he saw and went through
these are the best Aussies to ever live Terri included
In 28 now and loved him as a baby and still do just as much and It still hurts me bad!😔 I can’t imagine how the family felt and feels, they are SO strong!
Steve is 100% very missed and always will be, and I sure look forward to meeting him in Heaven with all the creatures God created!😌
That man will never leave us.
Such a sad story I grew up watching the crocodile 🐊 hunter I was so shocked when I heard the news in the U.K. he was such a amazing person helping animals & a brilliant dad to his kids they all should be so proud of him & bindy on the stand made me cry & to all the people that said it wasn’t good for her look at her now doing amazing 😘😘
R I p to the greatest crocodile hunter ever rest in peace Steve Irwin your legacy lives on in robert bindi and terri r i p :(
I m all tears to see how brave Bindi was.
Love u girl. Stay strong n take care of your mum
😭 thinking of you wonderful extended Irwin family. We can't visit QLD due to border closures, we were meant to visit on the 27th June 2020. Who knew? Rest In Pools (of calm waters) in Paradise Steve. 🐊🐢🐠🐳🦋🐞🐝💐😔
I feel like I’m reliving it again. Ugh just cried watching this.
Steve would be crying even more seeing what the Australian government is doing to the wilderness he tried to protect 😔
Best wishes dearest friends wherever you are blessings 🙌
Miss you Mr. Irving... You always be in our hearts ❤️n keep us brave ... Much love from India 🙏🏻
Beautiful 🙏
Great video of Bindi and her family
My favourite as kid, used to love watching him as a child & was heartbroken when I found out he had died 😒😢
I honestly can’t think of any other celebrity other than Steve Irwin I’ve ever shed a tear over.. I might of got close with Chris Farley. Steve had just an amazing soul
Awesome!!!!
Steve died when I was 11. and it broke my heart. I mean I cried for days. Even now being 27 years old I'm crying now. The man was Australia's Hero. If there was the ability to to change something from the past. it would'nt to be kill Hitler, but to save Steve. Always A Hero Stevey. It's still fun to watch your stuff when you were kicking, and I'm still laughing at your jokes. Never be another like you.
The aftermarth though. Bindi didnt really go anywhere, She just had a kid, and Terry kicked out Rob. So these dreams and hopes didnt come True. But lets hope young Robert can ster up the world like his father did.
Oh come on cried almost through the whole thing 💔😔😭😭😭😭🙏❤️
Its hard to think back then, that a fella sooo full of life, was just gone. Now laying in a box, pale and still. where in the back of your mind you can see him talking your ear off and tell us all about these animals.... but then you remember, Hes gone. Its really weird and sad, Now days you dont see that. But when you watch these vids of Bindi being so small. you can feel it again.
My daddy died last year we found him in the floor, heart attack, and I can't stop seeing him laying there dead. It socks but I do re.ember the good times had.
Love love loved him.
This man really gave a lot of meaning to My Life as a child got me through some of the toughest times in my life and I never in my wildest dreams thought it would be a stingray that took him out as a kid me and my best friend used to always say it'll be a snake crocodile or a Scorpion that would take him out and it was a shocking day when he died he taught me so much as a child and set me on the course to become what I wanted to be which was to work with snakes and venom
I still grieve over losing Steve! He was THE BEST!!!!
I love&miss Steve. My favorite family
So sad. Great guy who’s missed by many, but not shocking with risks he took with wild animals. 💔rip
Bindi was amazing in the front of all of this. I have a lot of respect for her; then & now.
So sorry for your loss of Steve
😥
My Super-Star ! RIP - Steve .
Bindi was a little pro since she was a whipper snapper! A ‘natural’ raised by her amazing father for a few years and her mother.
indeed she is Bindi is the best zoo vet on the planet the other day I saw her save some birds.
Watching this, I cried again 😢 😭. I cried my eyes out when he died
Lost a god damn national treasure. Still hurts. Hes got the most incredible family.
Wow ❤
She’s the most beautiful smart lil young lady n she knows what dad had taught her all these years.. good job bindi
I was 15 years old when Stephen passed away and also as my mom and I watched the funeral for Steve Irwin my mom tears to me she says this is the anniversary of your grandpa's death which was my mom's dad and it was a school day that day so I had to go to school that day but when she told me that I said I don't want to go to school today for me it was kind of like 9/11 all over again because I did not want to go to school that day either my grandfather my my mom's dad he died on September 4th but I don't remember the year cuz I never met my mom's dad I just find that really eerie when she said that to me I got chills back back on September 4th 2006
God blees your soul Steve💞🙌💙🙏
😭❤️❤️❤️
