An otherwise delightful morning turned somber quickly when I made the rounds on the Internet and found that Steve Irwin unexpectedly died after a freakish accident with a stingray.
Our initial reaction was shock and disbelief, and as both have faded, sadness has taken their place.
The Crocodile Hunter had a delightful personality that mesmerized us whenever he was onscreen. His genuine interest and enthusiasm for animals made us interested – and sometimes even made them endearing (no small feat for such animals as crocodiles and snakes). Perhaps that, as well as the unexpectedness of his passing, is why his death has given us such pause.
We miss him already, and mourn with his family and the rest of the world. I’m not sure anyone will ever match his contribution to the world – and certainly not with the same flare.
