Losing a parent leaves an impact that never goes away, and on what would have been his 60th birthday, Steve Irwin’s children are reflecting on the man who not only made an impact on their lives but so many others.
Exodus 20:12 says to “Honor your father and your mother,” and that is what his children are doing.
On her Instagram Tuesday, Steve Irwin’s daughter Bindi Irwin posted a photo of them together, writing, “Happy Birthday to the greatest dad and Wildlife Warrior. Today I’ll watch ‘The Crocodile Hunter’ with Grace Warrior and share stories about her incredible Grandpa Crocodile.”
“I love you with all my heart. Your legacy lives on.”

Robert Irwin, Bindi Irwin’s younger brother, also posted a tribute to his famous father on his Instagram captioned, “Happy birthday Dad. I love you and I miss you more every single day.” He posted a photo where he is seen sitting on a bike with his dad.
“My earliest memories are my fondest, thanks to you,” he continued. “Hanging on tight to the handlebars of the motorbike, when you’d take Bindi and I on your morning lap of the zoo – before going to get ice cream for breakfast. Every minute spent with you was a blessing.”

Steve Irwin, the “Crocodile Hunter,” died in 2006 at 44 years old after being stung by a stingray in Australia. His television show titled “The Crocodile Hunter,” which made its debut in 1996, gained popularity and success while taking viewers on his daredevil adventures with animals.
The Irwin family is continuing Steve’s legacy through the Australia Zoo and its contributions to wildlife efforts.
