Like Rorie, Robert is familiar with the loss as Father Steve, known to the world as the ‘Crocodile Hunter’, died on September 4, 2006, after a stingray pierced his chest.
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 are committed to keeping Steve’s memory alive through their conservation work at Australia Zoo.
