My Labor Day Holiday was bruised with the news

that Steve Irwin the Crocodile Hunter was killed. I am so upset. I dont exactly know why I am so upset, but it seems other folks have the same feelings. He seemed genuinely freindly and compassionate. Very rarely do people get to do what they are passionate about. My prayers are for his wife Terri and daughter Bindi, and son Bob (named after his dad) that they will look to Jesus for help and support. What a loss.

I am going to add a question. I know there are jobs that can put you at a higher risk of death or serious injury.
I wonder if this was worth it to him?
He loved animals, nature, and showing the world how awesome creatures are...
but he won't grow old with his wife, he won't see his daughter graduate, or get married he wont see his son play ball, drive his first car, or carry on the family tradition...
Was his passion worth death?
