So sad he's gone. He was so adorable. Poor family... I agree with you all, he went doing what he loved most.

There was this one thing he always said that I could never understand. It sounds like "feead incom" ........... wonder if anyone knows which phrase I'm talking about?? Noone has ever been able to help me figure it out.

I LOVE ANDREW!! I LOVE OWEN!! I LOVE LUKE!!

A lot of everyday Aussies use the phrase. It's hard to beleive he is gone, what a huge loss, not just for his family but the enviroment as well.

He lived life to the fullest, with such gusto, and died doing what he loves. God bless him and his family, Steve was a rare breed.

I'm watching Larry King right now discussing Steve Irwin and his life, etc. It's just so sad!

He was so passionate about his job--you don't see that a lot anymore.

My heart breaks everytime I see clips of his wife and children.

News about Steve's funeral.

Australia's Crocodile Hunter gets private funeral

Sun Sep 10, 12:42 AM ET

SYDNEY (Reuters) - A private funeral service was held for Australian TV naturalist Steve Irwin on Saturday and he will be buried at his family's zoo in the northern state of Queensland, local media reported.

Irwin's father, Bob Irwin, had declined a government offer for a state funeral for his son.

Irwin, known as the "Crocodile Hunter" after his popular TV documentaries which aired around the world, was killed six days ago by a stingray barb to the chest while diving on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

After the funeral service his body was taken to his family's Australia Zoo wildlife park, where he is expected to be buried, local media reported on Sunday.

Irwin, 44, had flirted with death many times in his "Crocodile Hunter" documentaries, seen by 200 million people, wrestling with some of the world's most dangerous creatures.

News of Irwin's death clogged Internet news sites and drew tributes from around the world. Prime Minister John Howard interrupted parliament to pay tribute to him, saying he was distressed by the loss of a remarkable Australian.

A public memorial service that is likely to draw thousands of mourners was expected to take place later this month.
