Steve, 44, was killed on September 4, 2006, when a stingray bit him in the heart while he was filming on the Great Barrier Reef close to Port Douglas.
Terri acknowledges that when word of Steve’s death spread, he would have been astounded by the outpouring of support. “Steve would have been the most taken aback by the outpouring of love and grief.”
Regretfully, he departed from his spouse and two young offspring, who remain ardent nature enthusiasts in the same way as their father. Terri claims that despite Steve’s years of celebrity, she has always appreciated the fact that he never let it get to his head, saying,
The word “famous” never occurred to Steve. I adored that about him; he was never conceited or self-important, and we did donate all of our profits to wildlife preservation, something I’m incredibly proud of.
It’s probably safe to assume that’s part of the reason why everyone adored him and couldn’t stop talking about him. Fortunately, his devoted wife and kids are carrying on his amazing legacy.
