I know I've called Steve Irwin a nutcase, and maybe he was a bit over the top, I lost a fare amount of respect for the guy when he held his baby and fed a crock, had he tripped and fell, it could have been a bad scene, a 1 month old baby has no place in a pen with big crocks, but all in all his love was to save animals from extinction, and for that, I did admire him, I do feel bad for his family, I know they were everything to him, as he was to them, maybe the best lesson he taught us all was to respect wildlife, even the things that we don't think will hurt us.
