BLIMEY! We've Lost Steve Irwin!

Blimey! No matter what you thought of Steve Irwin and his crocodile handling, he has become an icon among animal handlers and has been loved by millions worldwide. I don't believe there has ever been anyone so charismatic when it comes to describing animals as Steve. He could make a beetle seem interesting, his every description oozing with enthusiasm.

I have to admit, we all thought Steve would lose a limb, but never thought we'd lose him this soon. My heart goes out particularly to his wife, his children, and his beloved zoo staff. I wish them all the best and ask all of my readers to lend them support by continuing the Steve Irwin legacy.

Perhaps it is necessary for icons such as Steve to leave us so soon to cement their names in history. One has to wonder if Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, and others such as these would still be icons today had they not be taken from us so suddenly by their tragic deaths. Steve will long be remembered, of this I am sure.

Maybe God needed an expert animal handler in heaven to watch over all the animals there. He sure did pick the best.
