Earlier this year, on September 4, Terri publicly marked the 17th anniversary of Steve's death by paying a solemn tribute to him.
The nature star shared a rarely seen photo of Steve crouched in a cabin with a dog next to him as the light illuminated him.
Terri kept it short but very meaningful on the 17th anniversary of her husband's death, leaving the caption “Remembering Steve” with just a searing red love heart.

Steve died tragically when a stingray barb pierced his chest on September 4, 2006, while filming near Batt Reef, Queensland, in his native Australia.
He was only 44 years old at the time.
Terri famously took over the Australia Zoo after being widowed with the couple's two children.
Irwin and her children Bindi, 25, and Robert, 19, have worked hard in the years since Steve's death to keep his conservation legacy alive.
