Steve Irwin’s death in 2006 rocked the entire world. Irwin died at the age of 44, and the news of his death shocked people all around the world. Sixteen years after his departure, Irwin is still regarded as one of history’s most lovable and fascinating individuals.
Terri Irwin recently appeared on the Australian television show “Anh’s Brush With Fame” to discuss the tragic death of her late husband Steve Irwin.
The 53-year-old widow has spoken out against culling, or purposely killing animals to reduce their population. Mrs. Irwin revealed to her late husband’s admirers during the tragic conversation that he always assumed his life would be brief.

Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray while filming “Ocean’s Deadliest.” Terri, his wife, was instructed to contact the zoo authorities. It was extremely difficult for her to tell their children, Bindi and Robert. Terri recounted her feelings of sorrow and misery after learning the news.
Terri is still in pain after 16 years as Steve Irwin’s widow. “Every day is painful,” she said in an interview, “and after 16 years, the sadness stops being a rock in your heart and starts walking alongside you.”
“It’s always there, but I never know when it’ll hit me.” Terri misses Steve on a daily basis, but she feels herself fortunate to have had him in her “happily ever after.”

Steve Irwin, 44, died on September 4, 2006, while filming a documentary on the Great Barrier Reef in Port Douglas. He died after being stabbed with a stingray’s barb and bleeding to death.
Terri, Steve’s wife, admits that Steve would have been surprised by the outpouring of sympathy in the aftermath of his death.
Steve is survived by his wife and two small children, who shared his love of the great outdoors. Terri claims that despite Steve’s celebrity over the years, he has never affected her badly.
