Steve Irwin, aka the Crocodile Hunter, died on 4 September 2006 after being impaled through the chest by a stingray spine while snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef in Queensland, Australia.

During his life, Steve shared his great passion for animal life and conservation with the world. He saw this as the most important work in his life.

His other interests included Martial Arts (he trained in Gaidojutsu), cricket, Australian Rules football, Rugby League (he played for Caloundra Sharks as a teenager), and he was known to get in some Surfing when he could. I remember one local story of Steve out surfing. There was supposedly a shark in the water, and while everyone else was scrambling to get out of the water, Steve stuck his head under the water wanting to see the shark. He was a larikin and a much missed Australian icon.
