Hello It was the 1st thing i heard this morning! So sad and a great shame. He seemed like a really nice down to earth man and made wildlife interesting! For myself and my kids! My heart goes out to his family. When I told my hubby and kids this morning, they didnt believe me! Hopefully his good work will carry on and be a tribute to him! Who I call the best nature and wildlife man ever! x karen

Saw this on the news early this morning. I am still shocked and feel so sad for his family. My son loved to watch his shows and thought he was brilliant. To Steves family, friends and our Australian cousins, I would like to send my condolences and sympathies. A great loss for Australia and for the rest of the World too.......who would have believed, of all the creatures he had encounters with, a Stingray would be his end......still not sunk in......sad, sad day.

They say things happen for a reason, but this??? What a terrible loss, not only for Terri and their lovely children and animals, but for us too. Sleep well Steve, you were a wonderful guy and we will miss you. God bless. x

Australia has lost a national hero in Steve. Does anyone know if his wife knows yet? They were saying on the radio that she is trekking in Tasmania and police wanted to find her so they could tell her before she heard it on the media. In our office, we all said, we knew and I think he knew that one of them would get him in the end. He was a complete nutcase, but he taught us all to respect those animals. He died doing what he loved. May he rest in peace.
