Steve Irwin

I am so saddened by Steve Irwin dying. My brother and I have always loved him, and one of Nick and I's dreams was to go to Australia Zoo. We still can of course, but it won't be the same. To be killed by a sting ray too, that's what seems so stupid. He worked with so many deadly animals, and was killed by an animal that I myself have touched.

It seems almost silly to be so sad about someone I've never met dying, but when you've watched someone for years, watched his wife give birth to their first child, and watched his face as he held her, you feel like you know someone. I feel like I know his whole family actually, and that makes it even more sad. Will his 2 year even remember him? Will he watch the footage of all of the shows and specials and the movie and wonder if he only knows his dad as much as someone like me knows him?

I have no idea what his religious beliefs were.
