Again, fans inundated the comment section, sharing their own memories of The Crocodile Hunter.
“I love seeing pictures of Steve. When he died it caught me off guard how hard it hit me. I sobbed and cried for days when thinking about him and his sweet little family. I’ve loved seeing his kids grow and continue on in his footsteps. He really would be over the moon proud!! 💓” one fan commented.
Another said, “He taught the world to love the unlovable. Or, these animals seemed unloveable… spiders, snakes, crocodiles. Miss his teachings. Happy Heavenly BD.”
Steve Irwin tragically died on September 4, 2006 after a stingray attack. He would’ve turned 61 today.
