My biggest celebrity passing. I’m glad I grew up with the Irwin’s. They taught me compassion and empathy when my parents wanted to eliminate those traits. I’m proud of who I am because of the Irwin family.
So young to lose this icon. Huge respect for Terri carrying on their life works and raising two good eggs. He surely would be proud.
I know we don’t know our idols and parasocial relationships are reaching toxic levels but to my core I believe he fiercely cared about this world, the animals and his impact on the conservation movement. He was gone too soon.
Didn’t have cable growing up, so any time I got in the vicinity of a television I’d try to cram in as much Crocodile Hunter as I could. Can’t believe it’s been that long. I’m sure he’d be so proud to see his wife and kids today.
shoutout to every elderly person on here who was part of the “the new facebook killed steve irwin” facebook group!
19 years went by so fast. RIP Steve and much love to Terri Bindi and Robert 💗
I remember this so vividly, because I was boarding a flight with my fiancé on our way to get married when the news broke. I was so happy and also really sad bc everyone loved Steve Irwin, he was a treasure. Sending lots of love to his family 🩷🐊
you forgot the “shop on the complex app” slide at the end
This is when it all started going down hill for all us!!!!
This was devastating. We need more people like him in this world, not less. But he did leave this world a better place because he was in it.
& it has been fuck stingrays ever since
Losing him was such a blow to the world. For me, it’s up there with other major tragedies in that I remember where I was when I learned the news
Which means I’ve been staying the f away from stingrays for 19 years
