Steve Irwin died today. I think this story says it best "Daredevil Irwin dies doing what he loved". Love him or hate him, he brought us all a bit closer to nature. What a way to go - doing what you love best.
This quote is from The life and times of Steve Irwin [transcript]
JOHN STAINTON, MANAGER: Today the world has lost a great wildlife icon, a passionate conservationist and one of the proudest dads on the planet. He died doing what he loved doing best. And he left this world in a happy and peaceful state of mind. He would have said, "Crocs rule".
