Stever Irwin was and still is a hero.
Not only did he display passion for life and all things around him, he showed us to take risks for the things that you love.
I've heard the old saying 'if you play with fire, expect to get burned' - and i never want to hear it again! Steve was doing what he loved and he set a fine example for the rest of us to get in there and and give things ago.
Australia has lost its caretaker and I am extremely sorry for Terri, Bindi, Bob and all those who knew him. Rest In Peace you fine legend.
