Like Rorie, Robert knows the loss as Father Steve, known to the world as “Crocodile Hunter”, who died on September 4, 2006, after being stabbed in the chest by a stingray.
Steve is survived by his wife Terri, daughter Bindi and son Robert – who was only two years old when his father passed away.
Like Heath’s sister, Robert and the Irwin family have sworn to keep Steve’s memory alive through their conservation work at Australia Zoo.
