I didn't expect a kind of Spanish Inquisition!

I'm sad to see him go. He was fun to watch with the kids- the movie is great.
He enjoyed life to the fullest, and was a jedi master at self promotion. How many spancered skiers are working it as hard as they can- just for peanuts and free sticks. I don't fault them; or him.
He just made millions doing it.
I'm sure he had plenty of close calls that made him think about the ramifications of the actions creating those large bank deposits.Ski Shop - Basement of the Hostel

While I'm sure he didn't object to making money, I doubt it changed his approach or his lifestyle. It mostly meant his expeditions and zoo were better funded. He lived a good life, onya Stevo.

RIP Steve.
Honestly, I think he did more to get kids interested in the wild than any other TV persona that I can remember. In a time where conservation efforts have taken a back-seat to other things, I'm glad he reached some of the audiences he did.
If some of y'all think it's too soon to make jokes about the deceased so soon ... Don't make friends with paramedics, cops, nurses, and morgue techs.Balls Deep in the 'Ho

Steve Irwin was entertaining and exciting to watch, but I am not surprised to hear this sad news. He flirted with death for a living. RIPScrew the net, Surf the backcountry!

This guys wife was hot right? Anybody have a picture? Who has dibs?
It always seems more tragic to me when a guy with a hot wife passes early.
On a serious note - in my mind Irwin was an iconic figure of our time who died doing something he absolutely loved in a wonderful place. I've visited Port Dougy and did my first scuba dive ever out of that area, inspired me to come home and pursue my diving certs. Tragic incident, but I'm sure he would have rather gone this way than almost any other. Nobody gets out of here alive. Death by stingray barb to the heart exploring one of earths gems seems like a fine way to exit in style.
RIP Steve Irwin.

Does anyone else think that dying doing what you loved to do is the ultimate kick in the nuts?
I love skiing really deep snow, dying while skiing really deep snow would suck ass.
Dying in your sleep at 90 years old having led a great life is the only "good" way to go.
Im pretty sure that this guy would have picked a different way to die if he had the choice and I bet it would have been a few more years down the road.
But when you fuck with wild animals long enough eventually your gonna get dead or at least really fucked up.

I agree with AKA, I've always thought that. Guy crashes his NASCAR car - "he died doing what he loved", well fuck me, I think he woulda preferred doing more of what he loved and dying later on. Lots of examples leap to mind but I'm not going there.
