i love when my followers blog things like this
this guy was my idol at one point
Mine too. In 5th grade we had to mail our hero as a project and see who mailed back. Most people picked baseball players or something, but I was one of three kids that actually got mail back from my hero. Steve was so nice in the letter, he sent me bumper stickers and a map of the zoo he used to work at too.
^ that made me smile. i just had to reblog.
I remember I was in the car on the way home when dad told me he died and I just burst out crying, he was one of my favorite people in the world :(
I used to watch animal planet all the time and when Steve was on I was always so excited and when my mom told me he died I was just so sad because he’s just so amazing ):
I watched Croc Files religiously as a kid. i wanted to go to Australia to see Steve-o’s zoo in person. I really loved him and still do. I always felt he was like a family member. He died the day after my grandma died. I remember my sister was five and my mom wouldn’t let me tell her because she was already so upset so I was just holding it in. It was terrible.
tears :( he was my idol too.
