Steve Irwin MySpace Memorial

..On February 1962, Stephen Robert Irwin was born to Lyn and Bob Irwin in Victoria. They moved to Queensland to make a reptile park in Beerwah on the Sunshine coast in 1970, they named the park Australia Zoo. Steves parents then turned over the management to him after their retirement in 1991. With Steve living in the zoo he became so close to the animals, he took part in caring for them also. Steve got his very own pet python at the age of six. When Steve was nine his father taught all about reptiles, and Bob would take him out to the river to catch crocodiles. All the Crocs in the Australian zoo were hand caught by Steve and his dad. Steve joined the Queensland Goverment East Coast Crocodile Management, there he caught tons of large crocodiles. Then the first documentry of "The Crocodile Hunter" was shot in 1992 when one of Steves friends was shooting a commercial at The Australian Zoo, Steve was given the oportunity to be in it. Steve then flourished and made many shows. He met his wife Terri at the Australian zoo and married in June 1992, they had two kids. Then September 4, 2006 Stephen Robert Irwin was killed while making a documentery for his daughter. Stabbed in the chest by a sting ray, he pulled the stinger out and then died. Many famous people die, but when Steve died it was an emotional impact in America, may he be remembered!
