RIP Steve

STEVE may have died but his soul remains in his son and that new Aurora they found
Vaanhalen
Hope the kid has room to be himself not try to be a. Impression of his dad
DangerouslyMusicalCanadianLama
That man is one of the purest souls ever to live
DapperDeal
This one still hurts. Hard to see such a genuinely good person go that early. He had so much left to teach us.
hades1029
This kid has a lot of pressure to live up to his dad legacy. A great thing, but that weight on your shoulders, being so young. Best wishes.

Crikey!
ahernandez
It’s as if he’s his fathers son?
johanhiggs
It's still is Mr. Irwin. Version Rob. The journey continues
selfawareroomba
I guarantee you he’d have survived this metoo movement as well as Keanu Reeves. #myfuckinghero
diddymao
this post made me smile.

Especially in that second picture.

Why don't they re-air his show so the new generation can grow up with him?
Kilsim1v
If I win the Powerball tomorrow I would give their zoo a million dollar donation for a VIP tour with the Irwins

He's a good lad.

This is good news.

Dear Australia: Thank you!

Following Robert and his sister on Instagram was the best choice I ever made,the are so happy sharing amazing wildlife. Truely kids of Steve
StrifeRaider
What are their IG's?

robertirwinphotography and bindisueirwin
bfmama
Rob's is a fan account. I don't think he's actually on twitter. And Bindi's is just @BindiIrwin.
BlackCockDown4
Um it specifically said IG’s... meaning Instagram... bruh
bfmama
Oopsie. O_O

God I miss him. He was my hero growing up.

He's some kind of northern light now

I was going to say he and his sister need to have a show, then I saw they’ve already signed with Animal Planet
TCGView
Both of Steve's kids are great.
Rotarded
Crikey I remember when they announced his birth. Though Steve smiled around animals, that was nothing compared to when he was with his kids.

I adored Steve as a kid, first celebrity death that made me feel truly upset. As a grown man, it still hurts. I wonder what hed be like now.
SarcasticComment
Caught up in the "me too" movement. He molested a crocodile or two.
realdale
Probably a controversy or two would have come and gone and we’d be more attached.
ILikedTheirOldStuffBetter
Proud of both of his kids, if nothing else I know that's what he'd be like now.
mushroombirdornaments
this made me so sad
bryanew710
Saw a video interview with Steve from a while ago. Basically, his kids are doing EXACTLY what he always hoped they'd do.
bryanew710
As a dad, that thought kind of brings tears to my eyes. He'd be so happy to know, but he never got to see it. That's heart breaking.
LucianKane
Fucking onion ninjas
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
I was lucky enough to meet him at Australia Zoo once when I was a kid. We actually just saw him walking around and got a picture with him. >
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
> he was exactly the same as he is on tv. I remember hearing Bout his death when I was at school. I was in year 4 and everyone was in the >
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
> library watching the news at lunch. It was a sad day.
Sauroctonus
He'd be awesome.
OptimusPantry
Yeah same for me. Before that never really noticed celebrity deaths.
BronzeLeaguePro
Don't be sad he's gone, be happy he was there.
Banjovial
It's alright to be both of those things.
BronzeLeaguePro
It's been years mate. It's time to move on and lay his memory to rest.
Banjovial
I get that. You aren't wrong. It's still ok to be sad though even if you've moved on.
troy11998822
Yep. Feel the same way.
Krakencrotch
I remember doing a presentation about his death back then, some kids asked who tf he is. "Your Lord and saviour, you ungrateful bitches."
Pygmyshrew
For some reason I cried like a baby when Aaliyah died. I wasn't even that attached to her. I was 14 years old.
mikaladon
A Netflix series would be my bet.
dontmakemeanoptimist
I imagine he wouldn’t have changed a bit. That’s why it’s still so sad :(
jeebz24
I agree, he'd always be the same ol' Steve. Teaching us to love animals, being generally awesome.
nafierye
I was 16 when he died. My mother woke me up to the news, she didn't think I'd cry. I cried for hours. He was my rolemodel.
DownVotesUnpopularOpinionPuffin
My mom also woke me up, my best friend was sleeping over. We both cried.
NoButtholeNoUpvotes
I thought my parents were fucking with me when they told me he died. I had to wait for dial-up to confirm it.
Isaypoopythingsbecausemostofyouannoyme
Probably skeleton.
Thetbonelee
BarneysLSD
I have a feeling he might be upset on how the world is going by destroying so many wonderful creatures and places they live...
TheRealCaveman
Probably older...he'd be older...
iamspartan1262
Proud as hell of his family to be sure
bobbynixon
Chris Farley was the first celebrity death to make me sad RIP
AssamLaksa
Mine was Chested Bennington.
RideTheStimutacs
Phil Hartman. Still stings looking back because of how it happened.
MetaVulture
John Candy for me.
aneane
Heath Ledger was mine. Such a brilliant actor. We missed out on a lot of future good movies /characters.
mike32962
Farley was awesome
MikeTheRipper12
Mr.Rodgers.
Turkishtime04
Robin Williams was the first tough one for me, but Carrie Fisher... That one hurt.
TonyTin
Only one for me was carrie fisher.
JosephCraftHD
Adam Sandler was mine
Crispynoodlez816
Some say he's not dead. That he's still out there.. Somewhere. Making good movies and not casting the same actors.
CityYeti
Robin Williams was mine
iReptarr
This is 3 generations of imgur right here
battery1979
All three happened within my lifetime.
DorkyWon
Stil sticking his finger up a crocodile's ads.
Bluebagger126
The first time I saw him on TV I thought he was taking the piss and it was a new scetch comedy show.
Bluebagger126
Then when I realised that he was just being himself, I cringed and was embarrassed for him. Poor bastard was as mad as a cut snake.
Longw00D
Probably badly decomposed these days...
momoranger
On the news for diddling kids probably
DiogenesPendergast
Due to recent events it's better he died rather that we find out he was molesting animals.
livingthathoelife
Not even remotely funny. Shame on you for mocking his memory.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
What really gets me is they say if he didn’t pull the barb out he could have survived
Ihavewaytoomanyfavoritestosort
What's disturbing is somewhere out there, there is footage of the impalement since he was shooting a documentary.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Really sucks cause I watched him a lot as a kid and respected his bravery and love of nature.
meskarune
I feel like most people would have pulled it out though.
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Yeah probably just a natural reaction to not want something to be impaling you.
Goatsarepeople
I thought it was common knowledge that pulling out an impalement leads to faster blood loss?
meskarune
You assume someone is thinking instead of reacting when impaled. :P
ZaWarudoWRYYYYY
Idk the other day I almost passed out From giving blood and I thought my way through it.
Goatsarepeople
I mean you should always be thinking of ways to maximize not dying.
meskarune
People in shock and panic don't fucking think, they react. You have obviously not been in a life/death situation before.
BenDover87
Who downvotes this shit? He was like the Australian Mr Rogers.
ImNotAnOrange
I read shit as shirt, probably because I have one of those
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Statistically speaking, any post on imgur has downvotes. It is not the amount, but the % up to down that matters.
LongCommentChainAppreciator
Which is about 98% ups, so pretty good.
TheLannistersSendALovelyFruitBasket
Mr Rogahs
ImmaNeedBoutTreeFiddy
It would be more like 'Old Mate Rodgo' here in Aus.
SomeAustralianGuyThatLovesCatsAndBeer
TBH a lot of us Aussies thought of him as cringeworthy.
zephyrbell
People that hate everything.
Moizsh10
What we see as down votes are really just Australian upvotes!
breothskin
Some people are just miserable bastards.
CuttleFishOfCthulu
Last time there was one of these, some asshats were saying he was trying to act like Steve too much.
camvani
it is true
breothskin
I know right? Heaven forbid the kid admire and want to be like his Dad.
sharkhugs
Wow almost like he has his DNA or something
ThisGuyHere
We should all strive to act like steve. Good dude who likes to poke at animals to see what's up w/ 'em.
Sauroctonus
Well, maybe NOT do that. But we should try to emulate his fascination and respect for the natural world. :)
GadenKerensky
I mean, Steve was amazing, but if we strived to act more like him, a lot of us would die.
ThisGuyHere
Yes...perhaps....*rubs hands menacingly*
ilavalamp
I wonder if those people would agree Steve should've stopped trying to act too much like his father: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Irwin
Sauroctonus
Someone acting like their father? It's unheard of!
APIndysMissingNut
Which is hilarious because heaven forbid a CHILD who never really knew his greatly-admired Dad wants to be like him in every way.
CuttleFishOfCthulu
I think at least a few of those commentors werent old enough to remember him either.
DinoRexChris12753
So they never heard the phrase the apple doesn't fall far from the tree?
PoppinLochNessHopster
...What the fuck does that even mean, you're fully entitled to follow in your Dad's footsteps, especially when he's as great as his.
ilavalamp
I mean not only that it but he was raised in that situation. It'd be damn hard not to pick up some traits from your parents...
ilavalamp
...and for some reason nobody is accusing Steve of being too much like his father: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Irwin
Stevethebarbarbarbarbarian
I'd never heard of him. Fuck yeah for that guy.
