I usually take the passing of a celebrity in stride and put it in the back of my mind within a few hours of hearing about it, mainly because I didn't know them personally and I'm too detached to sincerely care. But Steve Irwin was different for me, apparently, because I've been sad and quite stunned since I heard about his death on Monday. I remember watching Animal Planet six years ago and seeing Steve for the first time, chasing some Komodo dragons down in Brunei, and was instantly hooked. Although, lately, I haven't watched The Crocodile Hunter (or any the other Animal Planet programs, for that matter) as avidly as I used to, I still consider myself a Steve fan and will always miss him.
R.I.P. Steve. Thank you for the memories.
And I am planning on making a donation in his honor to the Wildlife Warriors, whenever the site administrators get it back up and running again. I encourage all of you to do the same.
