Death Of A Sunshine Coast Legend Still Has Family Torn Apart

The general population is aware of the animal icon Steve Irwin and how he lost his life in 2006 by being stung by a stingray while doing some filming near the Great Barrier Reef. There are many who knew he died doing something he loved, and wouldn't have wanted to pass from something else, but the family still has hurt feelings and a lot of sadness which is causing problems.

The father of Steve Irwin, who was the founder of the Australian Zoo, was discouraged how the zoo was being run after his death. He was also disturbed about the choices his granddaughter was making, and ended up leaving the area after a fight in 2008 with Steve's widow, Terri. The saying is that time heals all wounds and a recent interview with Bob Irwin had some indications he might want to make peace with Steve's family, and be able to see his grandchildren Bob and Bindi once more.

Will reconciliation be possible? Well, there is no word yet on how Bob Irwin's statements have been received by the family or if reconciliation at this point is even something they would consider. During this interview he was asked about his feelings regarding the direction of the Australia Zoo at the hands of Steve's long time friend Wes Mannion but Mr. Irwin declined to comment and said that he is staying out of the entire process and not examining what they are doing. He is leaving it completely in their hands.

As a normal course of thought, one wonders what would Steve think of the current direction the Australia Zoo is headed, and how it might be changed if he were still there, but unfortunately these are only speculation. Lots of people do think that if he were still at the zoo it would be much further along than anything currently being done because he was such a huge part of what made the zoo the fabulous wildlife attraction. But one also knows that his wife Terri and best friend Wes are working hard to honor his memory and his vision by continuing to expand the attraction.

But as time passes losses turn into a rebirth, and over the years there will likely be a reconciliation for Mr Irwin with his family, doing that will help everyone involved to heal the hurt. Since they are the only blood relations left, it would be comforting to see them work through the devisive issues and mend the void of losing Steve and the disagreements that happened after he died.
