From wrestling crocodiles in Australia to teaching millions about conservation, he became one of the most loved and recognisable figures on TV.

In this Terry Stone Connection reaction video, we look back at the incredible life, legacy and final dive of Steve Irwin. The man who made the world fall in love with wildlife, danger, family and conservation. Let us know your memories of Steve Irwin in the comments.
